You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

Genesis 50:20

1. Understand that God is always with you.

Genesis 39:20-21

Genesis 39:6

B.) Our word matters.

Genesis 39:8

C.) What we give our bodies to matters.

1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Genesis 39:19-20
