Psalm 9:10; Deuteronomy 31:8
Who puts their trust in the Lord? Why is that a good idea? What does Deuteronomy teach you about God in your life? What is true if God goes before you? Prayer: Lord a will not be dismayed today because I know that you go before me preparing the way.
Genesis 37, 40, 41
Why was Joseph hated by his brothers? What did they do to him? How do you suppose he felt at that time in his life when they left him to die and then they sold him as a slave to slave traders? What did God do in the end? Even though Joseph seemed abandoned on so many levels, was that true of God toward Him? What should you do if feeling abandoned by God? Prayer: Lord, like Joseph, please remember me and remove me from this pit I am in.
What happens when God doesn’t show up like we hoped He would? When a door doesn’t open that we REALLY wanted to open? Digging Deeper this week looks at the idea that Father Knows Best.
Matthew 18:1-5
Sometimes we have no idea what God wants. What do you do when you are confused about what to think? Which door in life to open? What does Matthew suggest? What do you know about a child’s faith? Today, trust God simply. Prayer: Lord, Thank you that you love me and will take care of me. I don’t know what to do so I simply put my trust in you.
