Blanket Coverage by Dr. David Jeremiah

Thursday, December 26: Blanket Coverage

But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Genesis 50:20

In short, insurance in all its forms is protection against the possibility of loss or damage. It involves transferring risk from one party to another based on compensation from the insured to the insurer. For thousands of years, various forms of insurance have been used—an acknowledgment of the human desire to avoid the impact of negative events in life. Insurance can be taken out for a limited time (travel insurance) or for a lifetime (life insurance).

But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Genesis 50:20

Genesis 50:18-21 New King James Version

¹⁸Then his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.” ¹⁹Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? ²⁰But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. ²¹Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” And he comforted them and spoke ^[a]kindly to them.

With a new year approaching, it is natural to wonder what events will transpire. The Bible says we have an insurance policy of sorts with God that says, regardless of what happens, it will result in a good outcome in our life. That is the message of Romans 8:28: All things in the new year (and every year) will work together for the good of those who belong to God’s family. No insurance company offers a policy with that kind of blanket coverage! If you belong to God through faith in Christ, you are “insured.” Regardless of what the new year brings, it will be for your good.
