Everyday, our enemy the devil schemes against us. He uses different instruments or agents. He came as the serpent to steal the inheritance of Eve. He attempted to destroy Joseph through his brothers, and through Potiphar's wife. Judas was used to facilitate the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus.
However, if our obedience and trust is complete in God, He will make the evil plans and schemes of the evil one to work for our good.
Joseph was a faithful follower of God. Therefore no evil plan against his life, prevailed against him. In the end, he told his brothers - "you meant it for evil, but God meant it for good."
Jesus trusted God and knew His purpose in life. His obedience to God made Him able to say to Judas - “What you are about to do, do quickly”John 13. Jesus knew that what the evil one had planned against Him will work for His good, and that of many.
There can be no evil against those who love God - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
When we are obedient, wise at what is good, and ignorant at evil, God will crush Satan under our feet. Every evil planned against us will work out for our good. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I rejoice because of you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent about what is evil. The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. Romans 16:19-20
