Tonight I have a story for you. A story about a man that was born into a slave family and was sent down the river in a basket as an infant. He grew up with a stutter alongside the king's son. He was cast out of the palace he was raised in later in his life because he caused the death of a man. Then God said to him, "I will use you for great things. That mans name was Moses.
Another man, made a good life for himself, was wealthy and loved God. The Lord allowed the devil to kill his family, take everything he owned, and afflict him with painful diseases. At the end of it all God said, " I will give you increase of wealth by ten fold because of your faithfulness." That mans name was Job.
A woman who was a prostitute lived in a city under attack hid Joshua and his men for God, and The Lord said, "spare this woman and her family for her faithfulness." Her name was Rahab.
In all of these stories, people are facing trials , they are in situations that are not ideal, and God uses them to bless His faithful people. What I am saying tonight, is do not be overcome by your circumstances. For His ways are not your ways, and His thoughts are not your thoughts. We have to believe, that if God has blessed these people in their trials, than He must have a purpose for ours! Stand fast brothers and sisters, for The Lord blesses the ones He loves! And you are loved!
