Building Of A Man For God.

I will be preaching a series over the next three weeks on the “Building Of A Man For God.” It will be a series out of the life of Joseph, the son of Jacob. Like Joseph, we too need to be prepared and strengthened by trial before we can be used of God. God must strip us of our pride, selfishness, and personal will, before we can be of any use to Him. We like Joseph might not see the purpose or reasoning behind the trials that God puts us through in life, but we can remain confident in the fact that God has a greater purpose for it all in the end. I am always reminded of (Rom. 8:28 – “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”   Sometimes we convince ourselves because we are saved, that only good things are supposed to happen to us, but God knows and He wants us all to know that we cannot be strengthened without the spiritual exercise of faith. So God uses everything, our past sins, our present trials and blessings, all of it, to work out His perfect will for our good and His glory.  Like Joseph God has a plan for your life, so stop questioning why and start asking God for the wisdom to use it all for good.
