Genesis 50:20 (NASB)

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.

NLT:  You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good.  He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.

Psalm 23:4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

NLT:  Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.  Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
