My Friend by Kirk Wells

Scripture: But now that their father was dead, Joseph's brothers became fearful and said, "now Joseph will show his anger and pay us back for all the wrong we did to him." Genesis 50:15

Observation: This scripture makes me think about how I use to think about the way God dealt with my past mistakes (a nice way of saying sin). Once I accepted Jesus as my savior, my life changed, life was good. Then the enemy came with torment, guilt and regret. I just knew it was too good to be true. God was just waiting for the opportunity to take it all away, just when my life seemed to have a meaning.

Application: I have learned that God isn't out to get even with me, that's Satan trying to convince me I'm not going to be accepted by God for all the wrongs I've done in my life? I am worthy or He wouldn't have created me! God's just waiting for me, with an eagerness to be my best friend. God wants all that junk gone, not so He can punish me, but NOW I can be use able and I can see truths now, since the junk isn't blocking my view. Now I can have faith in God's future without the condemnation of my past, thank you Lord!

Heavenly Father help me to live out your purpose and only be able to hear your voice. In Jesus name....A-men

How will I be different from what I have read - I will have a new view of my past
