Church 1/18/09

We were going in the Bible to verses:

Genesis 37:5-10, 24, 

Genesis 39:6-7, 10- 11

Genesis 40:

Notes:

What is or was your making ground? Ya know when life is hell on earth and you don't have any choice but to turn God. Cause you can't do squat on your own. When your weak, powerless, clueless, and have no idea what you should be doing. You make up your mind to draw closer to God. To get that relationship people have been encouraging you to develop from the start. You can choose to flip or you can trust God and give Him your problems. He knows what needs to be removed for us to draw closer to Him. :)

Sometimes people get envious if you have a strong walk with God and they don't

Never be alone when there is temptation near you. 

Joseph was in his making ground. Being abandoned by his brothers, being sold as a slave, being lied on and accused of stuff he didn't do, being thrown in jail. All that was his making ground. 

God was with Him through it all.  Joseph grew in favor with Potipher, the jail keeper, and the king. Eventually Joseph became the 2nd most powerful man in Egypt.

God's timing is always perfect.  Be willing to wait on God. Whatever place God has you in, ask Him how you can grow in favor with those around you. When God is making you stay wherever He has you at and don't leave until He says.

God Bless
