What does it mean to trust in God during life's storms?
Luokka, mikä seuraavistaan helpoin kotiaskare? Lumenluonti, täytekakunkoristelu vai ruokakaupassa käynti? Kakunkoristelu tietenkin. Väärä vastaus Valterilla. Helpointa on nyt ruokakaupassa käynti. No höö. Helpotimme ruokakaupassa käyntiä. S-Kaupat, Suomen suosituin ruoan verkkokauppa. Muista ottaa tavaksi. I want to talk to you about the strength of a believer.
We can all think back to a time or a situation when someone in our life demonstrated strength. And I'm not talking about physical strength. I'm not talking about a father picking up his kids in one arm while carrying all the grocery bags in the other. I'm talking about real strength. The strength that can be seen when disaster strikes. When a hurricane or tornado destroys the family home, it tears up the walls, smashes the windows, and leaves nothing standing. But yet, the couple that just seemingly lost everything can come out of that situation praising God that they survived. That's strength. I think of Joseph. After such betrayal from his brothers, such treachery from his own flesh and blood, he forgave them.
They left him for dead and he forgave them? I don't know if you really understand the level of strength and grace that takes to do. Because if it was a stranger that left you in a pit to either go into slavery or to die, perhaps you could take it. But your own family... This is more painful because of who they are to him, but yet Joseph was given the strength to forgive.
How can personal stories of faith inspire resilience?
And he did it gracefully. It wasn't a whimsical, I forgive you moment. No. Genesis 50 verse 19 to 21 says, But Joseph said to them, Do not fear, for am I in the place of God? As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive as they are today. So do not fear. I will provide for you and your little ones. Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. This is a man who was speaking from a position of strength, strength in the Lord. You couldn't forgive something like that of your own will. You need grace. And so I would venture to say, all of us, regardless of denomination, whether you're Catholic or Baptist, all of us who believe in Jesus Christ ought to build our strength and confidence in the Lord.
You don't just wake up and have the strength and confidence to face a Goliath. Not even David could do that. The Bible says in 1 Samuel chapter 17 verse 34 to 36, But David said to Saul, Your servant used to keep sheep for his father. And when there came a lion or a bear and took a lamb from the flock, I went after him and struck him and delivered it out of his mouth. And if he arose against me, I caught him by his beard and struck him and killed him. David faced lions and bears before he could face a giant warrior. God put him through these tests in order to build his strength. And I believe God does the same with us too as believers. The Lord takes us to different places in our lives so that we can be tested and grow.
A test here to strengthen your faith. A test here to strengthen your need to read the Word of God. A test here to strengthen your prayer life. Every test has a purpose. Every test serves to build you in the Lord. He works on your patience if that's the area you're weak in. He works to humble you if that pride is getting in the way of his kingdom. And let me tell you this. Through it all, through all these tests, you learn to trust in Jesus.
What biblical examples illustrate strength in adversity?
You learn to really trust in him, and that's where you find strength. That's where you find real strength. The only reason David was able to face Goliath was because David had trust in God. He trusted God to see him through.
And that... Arkea ikä kaikki. Ja se on hyvä niin. Eloveena. Täyttä eloa.
Was his strength?
The only reason Joseph was able to forgive his brothers was because Joseph had trust in God. He trusted that what was meant for evil, the Lord would turn it for his good. And that was his strength. Moses could face Pharaoh. Why? He trusted the God of I Am. So I'm speaking directly to you if you feel powerless in the situation you're in.
