Genesis 41-45

"God's Silent Work"  Genesis 41:41-57

1.  What difficulties have you faced in the past?  How did God use those times to shape you?

Praise the Lord I have not faced too many difficulties.  My biggest difficulty by far was finding a loan to pay off my creditors.  I had just had a new baby.  I didn't have a job.  I had no idea what I was going to do.  There was a lot of prayer and fasting.  God used this time to completely depend on Him.  And now we are only a couple weeks away from making our final payment on this loan!!!!  Hallelujah!  It has really shaped me and made me grow up and take responsibility for my choices.  I now feel I must warn those entering college without a real plan or someone who really has your back.  In fact I would chose against going to college at all if I could do it again.

2.  What situations are you currently facing that seem hopeless?  How do you see God silently working to get you through them?

I am not facing any hopeless situations right now.  I am, of course, facing choices every day, but I am trusting God that I will find an okay job and save enough money to retire.  I am recently feeling very selfish so I hope God will provide so that I may be generous with my money and any other resources He gives me.  I don't feel special any more and I am okay with that.  God will reveal His work in me at the end of time.

3.  Sing Fanny Crosby's hymn "To God Be the Glory" as a way of thanking him for working behind the scenes in your life.
