Genesis 37:1-38:30

Genesis 39:1-40:23

If God is with us (even in our suffering), then we can trust Him (even when we don't understand or like what He's doing). We'll never be able to do that, though, if we keep confusing God's blessing with our comfort. Thankfully, our circumstances don't determine God's faithfulness, and we can trust that He's with us: (1) In our temptation; (2) In our desperation; & (3) In our unmet expectations.

Genesis 37:1-38:30

Since God reigns in sovereign grace as a Good King, we can and must serve Him in patient faith, even in the face of rejection, betrayal & injustice.

Genesis 34:1-36:43

When we forget who God says we are and start living like who we used to be, there are devastating consequences. In those moments, we need to remember that God's word is clear and acceptable worship only happens when we fully surrender to Him.

Genesis 32:1-33:20

Fear and pride often keep us silent when God commands us to speak. This is especially true in the relationships in our lives which have been broken because of our sin. Thankfully, God is able to fix every relationship we've broken, so we should always pursue restoration (even when it feels impossible).

Genesis 28:1-31:55

When we face what we don't understand & can't control, there are really only two options: (1) We can step into the unknown in fear because we're worried about what's going to happen to us; or (2) We can step into the unknown in faith because we're excited about how God is going to work in us and for us. To encourage and inspire faith in His people, God promises that He will be with us: from the beginning, through it all & until the end.
