God has definite plans for people. God knew ahead what was going to happen to Joseph, even when hia brothers were jealous of him and turned him over to the Egyptians. He was given a gift of interpreting dreams and was favored. In the end his family came and lived and ate well in Egypt. I many times question God but know…

I am very impressed that when the Israelites left Egypt they took Joseph's bones along, which was his wish, and assured that they were buried with his people. From the time his brothers went against him and gave him to the Egyptians, he was truly blessed. When he was in prison he was summoned to be bought out because he…

I drink very littke and have cysts on my pancreas. They are benign at this point but i will be followwd up in 6 months. The surgeon oncologist…

I need lessons like this. I have a friend who is mentally ill. She is wonderful when she is taking her medications, however, she has gone to one place where another friend works and talked to her boss and accused her of stealing, she than went to AAA and accused me of using my card in the wrong way, she than went to the…

The Bible is an amazing book. Each time I read it I can see something new. It took me many years and many trips through Genesis to realize that God said we when he was creating the world. A pastor in a teaching one Sunday said Jesus was present with God when he created the world. I had an aha moment. As I said I can read…

I liked this lesson on HOPE. I would rather hope than to become a person that has given up. When we know God we know that Hope is a positive response. To the many suffering in the world hope is critical. Also for those who are oppressed that know others pray and have hope for good outcomes it is important. Many lives have…

I have been in my own will for awhile. I have been saying my good morning to God and the Lords prayer each day, but have been eating too much, not logging my food and certainly not exercising. I have been out of Gods will, and he teaches me lessons. I don't know how I can act like I am a teen and am 71. I read in the Bible…

The lesson today speaks to me. I must learn to speak less and let Jesus speak through me. When dealing with relationships I get myself worked up and cry too easily, when I cry I am angry and should never speak out of anger. I will try to improve this through prayer and meditation. These lessons about God in the old…

Yesterday there was a double rainbow in my area. I always am so happy to see a rainbow. I had worked with a girl who had never seen a rainbow, and we were just discussing that. When I got home that night, there was a rainbow in the sky. I called her immediately and she was thrilled. She was not a beliver so when I told her…

At times i get saddened because I spend quite a bit of time helping or giving to others, and they not only do not return the kindness, but end up doing something hurtful. It is than that I remind myself, I wanted to help, or I wanted to give and do it lovingly and to do as Jesus would do. For several months last year I…

Moses life was saved for a purpose. God had big plans for him. After 400 years of the Israelites being slaves in Egypt God chose a bush that burned but did not get over come by the fire to get Moses attention, than of all things to even speak through that bush. When God is ready to use someone he lets them know it, and he…

To minister is to lead. Yes there are pastors that are puffed up about how many followers they have, not about their actual leading and guiding their flocks to Christ. I have watched TV evangelists and can discern their goals and truthfulness by whether what they peach glorifies God. I enjoy watching Charles Stanley, loved…

I have worked for 52 years. Each job i started i would ask God to open my mind to be able to understands The work and to be able to learn. Any time I got ab N award for my job, I would tell everyone, that was not me that actually did jt, God opened my mind to understanding. At one time I was put on a financial team for the…

Todays lesson reminds me of the fear instilled in me by the men in the church i grew up in. I have Three sisters. I was raised in the Church of God. Two of my sisters married Catholic. Before r Their weddings two of the elders of the church visited our home and told my mother to talk with her daughters, if they married…

I enjoyed the story of the friend coming to Sunday school dressed so revealing and everyone shunning her. Many years ago there was a man who walked through the neighborhood I lived in dressed in a white robe and carrying a type of towel over his arn, he was walking barefoot through the neighborhood. A Christian friend…

I saw a commercial this evening with Moses as a baby being held by the pharaohs daughter. There is going to be a movie coming on tv. I thought wow Moses grew up to do great things by leading the Israelites although he was raised as an Egyptian. Wow, God is always watching and planning outcomes. He uses people for so many…

I love the notice about the physical fitness advice that was in your office. I have been great at jumping to conclusions. I should be the most fit on mfp. I am learning each day to keep my nose to my own business and to look in the mirror and see what and who is looking back at me. To do self evaluations before I evaluate…

Thank you Chaplynne. I appreciate your prayers so much. You are a blessing to me.

I am claiming that nothing is impossible with God. On May 12 i am having an EUS procedure at the York Pa hospital. I am fearful but the devil breeds fear, i am claiming that God will help the hands of the surgeons and he will be with me through the tests and results. I am very sick right now but continue to work. I have…

Amen. Thank you.

Amen.

The Israelites were ready to go back to Egypt and stay as slaves, however, when God parted the sea, and told them that they would not see the Egyptians again, what a powerful event. Yes, God can do anything. When we watch things unfold today we can see Gods works. As I see all the frass, bulbs, trees all spring around me I…
