Day 11: Turn the next act toward repair

Have a think: Turn the next act toward repair

The walk: The past is fixed; the use made of it is not. The Stoics returned attention to the choice still available. Joseph uses that freedom to preserve life without pretending the original harm was harmless.

The thought: Providence is the theological claim in the verse. The practical lesson is not that suffering was secretly fine. It is that a wounded history can still produce a responsible next act when power is turned toward repair rather than revenge.

A task for today: Name one harm that cannot be undone and one concrete repair that can still be attempted without rewriting the history.
