28. Trust God To Provide

Genesis 46-47 

And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:     The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.   Genesis 47:5-6 

Not only did God bring Joseph's family back to him, He also provided for them through Pharaoh. When you’re in a tough spot or when you choose to follow God's will and there seems like no way to carry out what God wants you to do or no way to get out of a tough spot, do you trust God to provide for you and those around you or do you stress and worry about what you’re going to do?

73. It’s Not About You

Deuteronomy 8-10 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.      Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine hear, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.    Deuteronomy 9:4-5 God knew the tendencies and pride of the children of Israel, just as He knows the tendencies and pride of us today. The common denominator? We're all human. We would like to think we get special treatment for one reason or another. Especially if we feel like we've been extra good...especially compared to someone else. But God doesn't compare us with other people. I...

314. Jesus Prays For You

Luke 22, John 13 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:   But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.   Luke 22:31-32 As with Peter, so Satan desires to distract and destroy you so that you will be useless for God and eventually deny Him. The temptation is sometimes very great to deny Christ in order to avoid mocking or ridicule, or persecution of any kind. Or just not to be thought of as weird or strange. But, just as Jesus prayed for Peter, so also He prays for us. In John chapter seventeen is one of the prayers that Jesus prayed for His disciples and the people then, but also for all who trust Him as Savior. Though you may fight against principalities and powers and the temptation to give in and walk away may at times be great, you have Jesus who is praying for you and has made a way to escape so that you can bear it and come through ...

61. Do Not Speak Evil Of God Given Authority

Numbers 16-17 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?      And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.      If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.      But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.       And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: ...
