As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive, Genesis 50:20
Joseph is speaking to his brothers from Canaan. Years before, as a teenager, his brothers betrayed him. They sold him into slavery and convinced his father that he was dead. Now, many years later, they were bowing before him begging for food. They would receive his mercy, because Joseph figured that God was working through him for good. God's grace allowed him to prosper, and God's grace would allow them to eat. When we let God's grace work in us and through us, much good will come.
