Genesis 50:15-21

Yesterday, we saw that God wants us to focus on Him in times of trouble. As we do, we’ll discover that during our “storms,” He is doing important spiritual work in these three areas: 

Beliefs. When circumstances are out of our control, what we truly believe comes to the fore—the depth of our faith in God’s character and promises will become evident, as will any doubts or uncertainties. For example, Joseph, after many trials, revealed strong belief by saying God’s intentions for the trouble were good (Gen. 50:20). Though at times we won’t succeed—like Peter, whose fear led to denying Christ (John 18:25-27)—we should think of adversity as an opportunity to deepen our faith and grow. 

Transformation. As God’s children, we are to live in a way that displays Christ’s character. The heavenly Father can use challenging seasons to transform us into His Son’s image.

Comfort. Our Father brings us consolation and asks that we share with others the comfort we’ve received (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).

Difficulties can come from our own mistakes, schemes of the Enemy, or the hurtful actions of others. They can even be ordained by God. Regardless of the source, our Father works in them to benefit us and to bless others. How can you testify to His goodness in a hurting world?

Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 9-11

My question to Christians today is this: How much longer do we intend to sit in the pew and let Satin continue to control the majority of the American citizenry? Just stop and look at how chaotic American society is! Not much Brotherly Love Floating around in the American Way Environment! Me, Me, Me, I, I, I, I do not care what happens to individuals out of MY Family Circle! Pot Heads, Dope Heads, or the old-fashioned alcoholic, and some other addictions I am unaware of!

What a mess, how did the adults of AMERICA sink so low! How did we get to this point? Arrogance, selfishness, and an I Am First Attitude! Or I Just Do Not Care!

Have we been thrown GOD OVERBOARD! I do not think so.

Christians who follow HIS RULES KNOW THE TRUTH!

Those who do not know the TRUTH WILL SPEND ETERNITY in HELL! I do not know, for sure, if anyone I know will spend Eternity there. I Do Know for certain I have been headed toward HELL most of my Adult Life! I do understand I am SAVED by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB! I will spend ETERNITY IN HEAVEN! Halleluiah!

I do not know about the rest of the World; however, here in America, I do not believe anyone here will end up in HELL unaware of why!

Feel Free to correct me here if you have an opinion differing from the one I presented!
