God uses even our wrong turns to get us to the right places.
It’s never too late to recalculate.


15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will
hate us and pay us back for all the evil that we did to him.” 16 So they sent a message to Joseph,
saying, “Your father gave this command before he died: 17 ‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive the
transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ And now, please forgive
the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18 His brothers also came and fell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.” 19
But Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for am I in the place of God? 20 As for you, you meant evil
against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as
they are today. 21 So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones.” Thus, he comforted
them and spoke kindly to them.

Genesis 50:15–21

IT'S NOT TOO LATE

Repentance is getting our lives back.

GOD NEVER WASTES ANYTHING

should be kept alive, as they are today.”

best is yet to come.” Jonathan Edwards
