Allowing evil

"Even though you meant harm to me, God meant it for good, to achieve His present end, the survival of many people." Genesis 50:20

God only allows the evil from which He can create a greater good. He is the ultimate Architect, Who can create from every blow to His building a stronger, more beautiful one. If this is not the case, then the blow is deflected. We need not fear harm done to us, for God would not allow it unless He has something much greater in mind. Joseph's brothers plotted murder but chose instead to sell him into slavery. God deflected the evil murder, but allowed slavery to befall Joseph in order to raise him up and save His people from famine.
