  3. the Old Lord. Sharllom, wonderful family, God richly bless you

  4. for tuning in to Radio ACI today for our morning

  5. glory devotion. Privilege to be facilitating today's devotion are the

  6. Brucemets from Harvestrapel International Commercy. Let us kind of share

  7. a word of prayer. Gracious Father, we thank you for

  8. the privilege to look into your word. Our hearts are open,

  9. our minds and as spirits are receptive. Let your word

  10. bring light into our darkness and transformers in Jesus Mighty name,

  11. with pray, with thanksgiving. A man, let's kind me a

  12. formal scripture our conversion from Joshua chapter one, verse eight.

  13. Joshua chapter one, verse eight. This book of the Law

  14. shall not depart out of my mouth. But I shall

  15. meditate in a day and night that I may observe

  16. to do according to all that is written in it.

  17. For then I will make my way prosperous, and then

  18. I will have good success a man. The theme for

  19. today's devotion is let go for good. Let go for good,

  20. written by Pastor emesistgraph detailer and a scripture reading will

  21. be taken from Genesis chapter fifty, verse twenty Genesis chapter fifty,

  22. verse twenty, reading from their new Living translation. You intended

  23. to harm me, but God intended it all for good.

  24. He brought me to this position so I could save

  25. the lives of many people. May the Lord add his

  26. blessing to the reading and hearing of his word, and

  27. or respond thanks be to God. Let's go for good.

  28. Some heads are so deep letting God feels impossible. But

  29. what if the very thing meant to break you is that?

  30. Then God wants to use to build you and others up.

  31. After Joseph lost his father, Jacob, his brothers, fearing he

  32. would repay them for all the evil they did to

  33. him in the past, sent word to him assent for forgiveness.

  34. Very interestingly, Joseph answers them in Genesis chapter fifty versus

  35. night through into one, saying, don't be afraid. Am I

  36. in the place of God. You intended to harm me,

  37. but God intended it for good to accomplish what is

  38. now being done, the saving of many lives. So then

  39. don't be afraid. I will provide for you and your children,

  40. and he assured them and spoke kindly to them. Amen,

  41. Dearly Beloved. Today's world is no different from Joseph's. People

  42. still hurt, betray, and backbite. People still plot and implement evil,

  43. trying so hard to destroy families, friendships, destinies, and careers.

  44. This seemingly gives us more reason why we may have

  45. kept grudgeous, bitterness and pain in our heart for years.

  46. We all can, at every point in time, give an

  47. explanation to why the betterness we feel less justified, or

  48. why forgiving those who have offended us is not fair.

  49. But like Joseph, let us learn to always simply forgive

  50. and see things from God's perspective, prescious One, Forgiveness is

  51. not always easy, especially by a human effort, but with

  52. the help of the Holy Spirit, we can let go

  53. and trust God with what remains undone. Therefore, as the

  54. Lord forgives us daily, let us also learn to forgive.

  55. Forgive that beloved who hurt you beyond your wildest imagination.

  56. Forgive that parent who was never there for you. Forgive

  57. that brother or sister who sold you out to your enemies.

  58. All these trials have somewhat contributed to who you are today.

  59. All the disappointments and hats from the past have somehow

  60. made as better people today. We have become wiser when

  61. we were negligent, stronger also where we didn't know we

  62. had strength. Like Joseph said, we are not God to

  63. hold people up in judgment. We don't give the verdict

  64. of their lives. It is not for us to condemn

  65. or wish evil for anyone. We don't have the financy

  66. in their lives. Their actions may have been intended to

  67. harm you, but God always has a greater purpose for

  68. why you have to be the victim. So learn from

  69. the experience. Use your experience to teach others to do better.

  70. They may have intended to harm us with their actions,

  71. but God definitely intends it for our good. Amen, our memory.

  72. Verse for today will be taken from Genesis chapter fifty,

  73. verse twenty. Genesis chapter fifty, verse twenty, reading from the

  74. New Living Translation. You intended to harm me, but God

  75. intended it all for good. He brought me to this

  76. position so I could save the lives of many people.

  77. You intended to harm me, but God intended it all

  78. for good. He brought me to this position so I

  79. could save the lives of many people. Amen. Let us

  80. kind of share a word of prayer. Father, We thank

  81. you for your word that has come to us. We

  82. pray God for grace to let go any hurts, any paid,

  83. any betterness, and unforgiveness in our hearts. As daily you

  84. forgive us, help us to also forgive them who offend us,

  85. so that we can bring healing into our relationships. All

  86. to the priest and glory of your name. In Jesus

  87. mighty name, we pray with thanksgiving. Amen. Beloved God, literally

  88. bless you for being a part of today's devotion. As

  89. we step out there today, you want to let go

  90. of anyone who has offended you, knowing that God is

  91. behind the scenes working together everything for your good. Shallop

  92. and have a blessed day, Amen,
