Gen 50:19-20
We learn a great truth about God’s character in this last chapter of Genesis. Jacob’s sons, who intended to harm their brother, were used by God instead to save the lives of many people. Who could have brought good out of such evil intent? Only God, our Savior. He is able to use the worst tragedies to work some of the greatest good. Take comfort in God’s wonderful works. Praise the Lord, our Redeemer, for his providential care, which ultimately causes good to triumph over evil.

Gen 49:24
Several passages in the Old Testament refer to God as a rock. This fitting metaphor calls to mind several attributes: He is firm and unmoving; he is unchanging; he is strong; when all else is uncertain, he remains steady and sure; and lastly, he is our defense, for in him we find refuge and safety. Give praise to the Rock of our salvation, for he shelters us from foes and calamities. Cling to him, for he will not be moved.

Gen 46:3
During a seven-year famine, Joseph acted to save his family and the nation of Egypt. God had specially prepared Joseph and raised him up to save the lives of many people. Praise God that in every generation he raises up faithful followers who demonstrate his mercy to others. God wishes none to perish (2 Peter 3:9) but calls all to eternal life.
