Barnes Sunday, May 6-- The Voice Of The Church A WEEKLY MESSAGE BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOUR LOCAL MINISTERS Good for Evil by Uev. R. K. Harris And Joseph said unto them, "Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to i much people alive." -- Genesis 50:19 & 20. The story of the life of Joseph has always been a particular favourite of mine and since I have been teaching it this year to grades four and five in the local public school, it has been a renewed blessing to my life indeed. The one thing that particularly blesses my soul is the gracious speech at the end of the story which Joseph makes to his brothers who had started him on the road to great suffering but ultimate glory. The most striking clause of the speech being,."--, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, --." Because of their hideous jealousy and desire for self engrand-isement these men whom God intended to bless and use as the leaders of the great tribes of Israel, sold their younger brother into slavery. For many years Joseph wallowed in prison and suffered a multitude of afflictions unjustly. Enough of these afflictions had crossed his life to fill him with hatred, bitterness and a desire for revenge. In the end of the story we find Joseph finally conqueror of it all and exhalted to a. place of great honour, glory and prestige. Then at last his brothers who had so ill used him were placed, by circumstances, at his mercy. It was only natural for him to desire some revenge, if it was only to tongue lash them or make them feel very small, but we find Joseph manifesting the Spirit of God as he weeps upon their shoulders with the joy of reunion and says, "Ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good." This perhaps is one of the greatest examples of practicing the teaching of Jesus and turning the other cheek or returning good for evil. I'm sure most will agree that this is the hardest teaching in the Bible to put into practice. Why? Well it is because we usually dwell upon the great harm or injustice that has been committed against us. Then having exhausted that line of thought we dwell upon the individual who has committed the injury. Nowhere is God given a thought, or the possibility that He has allowed this thing to come into our lives for a purpose which we cannot see at the time. This lack of good thought usually is the breeding ground for bitterness, hatred and a desire for vengeance which if left to their work will ultimately destroy us. Oh that we might be as far sighted and God conscious as Joseph. He didn't fall short of the mark by dwelling upon the terrible circumstances he. had come through nor, by seeking vengeance upon those who had put him in those circumstances. He looked past the circumstances and past the brothers who had so wronged him and saw God. Thus he could sincerely rejoice at being re-united with his brothers and say, "Your purpose was to do me harm and get me out of your way, but God's purpose was greater than yours. I hold no grudges against you for you were but the tool in God's hand to bring me to this great day of blessing." Perhaps someone has deliberately injured you in some way. The memory of it is crushing you, because the desire for rfet-ribution haunts you daily. Ask God to help you look past fhe hurt and the one who hurt you that you might see God in it for surely He will, in His own good time, turn this evil into good. Has He not promised to give you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness? You can't find a better trade-in value than that anywhere. Why not seek His face to-day and cash in upon His promise?
