Joseph was sold into slavery by his own brothers.
And even though he suffered for many years before gaining freedom, he forgave his brothers and told them this:
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good...” Genesis 50:20
Throughout his life, Joseph:
Admitted when things weren't right, fair, or just.
Trusted God’s purposes in spite of his circumstances.
And this is a good way for all of us to live.
Being a Christian doesn’t mean we pretend bad things don’t happen. It means we trust God to use them for our good.
Genesis 50:20 is the Old Testament Romans 8:28:
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
Are you facing injustice? If so, admit the bad and keep walking into God's good purposes.
