From Max Lucado's Daily Devotional.
The Master Weaver
In God's hands intended evil becomes eventual good! Nothing in the Old Testament story of Joseph glosses over the presence of evil. Bloodstains, tearstains are everywhere. Joseph's heart was rubbed raw again the rocks of disloyalty and miscarried justice. Yet time and time again, God redeemed the pain. The torn robe became a royal one. The pit became a palace.
The broken family grew old together. The very acts intended to destroy God's servant turned out to strengthen him. "You meant evil against me," Joseph told his brothers using a Hebrew verb that mean to weave. You wove evil, he was saying, but God wove it together for good. God, the Master Weaver. He stretches the yarn, intertwines the colors. Nothing escapes his reach.
