Day 4

Again, I saw the favour of God and the jelousy of man and just how each of these can affect our lies!
Joseph saw things He did not understand and God allowed slavery which seemed the direct opposite of what He had dreamed, but God in His time allowd this dream to come to pass.

I have learned that thefavour of God is with us EVRYWHER, even in jail! All we need is to keep our faith huigh and be faithful even though it costs us everythng, trusting that If it si of God, indeed He will bring it to pass. Who ever thouht Joseph would recover from the slavery,prison,e.t.c and become nearly a Pharoah in a foreign land?

FAVOUR!

I'm simply overwhwlmed by the beauty of God's word and mostly His favour displayed in these stories.
God blessed Abrahama and His offspring until they were feared EVERYWHER they went. The seeds I sow in my relationship with God now and the convenanats that I make will deeeply afest Generatons to come!
That realisation makes me focus less on short term but ratehr to know that God will keep His promise to generations if I walk with Him closely.

The favour of God on His people is amazing in these stories regardless of tehir performance. God blesed Jacob yet he hadnot "performed" as regards the way we would think of a person God would bless. That proves to me that God loves us. It is not based on performance or whatever..moreover, for us,Christ finished it. He just loves us and will bless and protect us at ALL costs and prosper us. I just see LOVE bouncing off the pages of the Bible and Iam amazed. i feel I can come closer to God..He is more loving than I imagined and our love is drawn from His limitless love!

Day 2

Reading thestories f Abrahama and His walk with God made me realise that to grow in my wlk wih God, I MUST obey immediately and cease to first try to understand, b'se God keeps His word,and wen He finds an obedient person, He trust them with evrythin!

Leaving the familiar under God's leading instantly throngs us into abundance and true success..all comes back to beig obedient and trusting God beyond anything that He has my best purpose in His leading though it may take a while. Abraham was a friend of God!

This made me desire to walk closer with God in obedience and faith b'se if Abraham could have such a dep relationship before salvation,it must be awesome and simpler now!

Day 1

Accepting this challenge is so exciting! Day 1 was really tricky! I wanted to read but then it was unfamiliar to read all that. Reading the creation story spoke of God's love for mankind so deeply. When we sinned, he still took time to dress Adam amd Eve up. When Cain killed Abel, God protected Him! What a God!

Also, I realised that God was pleased with all he made, including me. He kep saying "It is good" and afterman, He said "It is very good". It's exciting to know the value God places on us. I know that Iam special.

God created using WORDS..since we are made in His image, we also create with our words. It doesn't matter if everything is "dark and empty" we can still speak life and beauty. Knowing that I creae with my words just like my father-God, makes me more careful!
