22	4/23	Gen 50:14-21	Genesis 50:20 (ESV) — 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.	This is one of the best illustrations of Rom 8:28. God does not cause evil, but he sees it (he foreknows it), and he works to bring good out of it for his children.	We are not all God's children. We are all his creation, although few acknowledge that choosing to believe they are the product of random occurrences of nature. But, the only ones who are God's children are those whom he has adopted into his family, those who have believed in his Son, Jesus Christ. They are the only ones who are part of the family of God today.	Father, I thank you that I am a part of the family of God. I was bought, redeemed by the blood of the lamb. As the song continues, I am a joint heir with Jesus. Thank you for my sonship. I know I am undeserving on my own, and I know that the blood of Jesus has purchased this indescribable gift.
