GM - Gen 46:3 - Don't fear change when GOD is in control. Psalms 146 (all); Col. 1:9-23
Strong, weak, fellowship-wrecked, invincible, impossible - Being a Christian is a journey and it's never a perfect path. This is your home page for thoughts & devotions from real, nitty gritty, "going through it but planning to thrive" Christians. I'm ready to win this thing. Are you in?

Our God!
April 21, 2010
GM - Gen. 45:4-10; Prov. 21:22, 31; James 1:12-17 - Joseph endured much temptation and trial, as did his family (with different actions/different results!) but God was with them always - with a purpose and a plan. Their God? He's OUR GOD.
Darkest Before the Dawn
April 20, 2010
GM - Gen 44 - We know the end of this story but the brothers did NOT. It is always, always darkest before the dawn. Prov. 20:24; Rom. 15:13
Control!
April 19, 2010
GM - Gen. 43 - Regardless... As chaotic as it seemed, God was in complete control. How bout that? :) Prov. 19:23; Col. 1:9-13
Going Through It...
April 18, 2010
GM - Gen. 42 - The brothers went through a harrowing experience and are humbled but God will continue to greatly bless this family!
Prov. 18:12 Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, And before honor is humility.
1 Pet. 5:5-7 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “ God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” 6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Focus, People - Focus!
April 17, 2010
GM - Gen. 41: - If you focus on God and trust Him, He will use you - no matter where you are in your life. He can change everything for you. Nothing is too hard for Him.
Prov. 17:2,3 A wise servant will rule over a son who causes shame, And will share an inheritance among the brothers.The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, But the LORD tests the hearts.
1 Tim. 1:12 12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry..
Interpretations
April 16
GM - Gen. 40:8 And they said to him, “We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.”
So Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please.”
Don't interpretations belong to God? What seems impossibly confusing to us is simple to God Trust Him fully. He never fails.
Prov. 16:3 Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
