The Scripture says:

"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives" (Genesis 50:20 NIV).

"But as for you, ye thought evil against me; [but] God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as [it is] this day, to save much people alive." (KJV).

This was the reassurance of Joseph after his father, Jacob, died, to his brothers who thought he would revenge after the evil they did to him.

It applies in the similar light today, when good comes out of evil that was planted our way, or as an encouragement when going through such.
