Trying to live the life we were created for, while painful wounds are living in us, doesn't work. That's why God brought Joseph's family back into his life, so he could be fully restored and ready to lead Egypt in strength and wisdom. Joseph is an example for all of us. (HJ#4 & #19)

When we disconnect from God, we put other things in his place, things that steer our life in the wrong direction. These false idols take our life captive. Today, Cyndy will share thoughts on how you can get your life back on track.

Everyone puts their trust in someone or something, but if it is not God, we will not experience the help and blessing of his power working on our behalf. False idols come in a thousand different forms, but one thing they all have in common, they steal us away from God’s best.

God clearly spells out two roads of which we can travel. His Word arms us with ample reasons and encouragement for choosing Trust Trail, as well as an equal amount of warnings why we should avoid Pride Pathway. Even so, making the right choice is difficult.

We all want to live a happy life, so does God, but stuff is holding us back. Just like the Israelites in Exodus, he's taking us to a good place, but we must follow him in order to get there. Getting to a great place in life hinges on our willingness to deal with our issues.

So many of us have deleted ourselves off the list of those Jesus loves and cares for because of the lives we’ve lived, just like the woman in Luke 7. After an encounter with Jesus, though, that can all change, as it did for her. We can begin to discover the truth that we are all worthy of love.

Learning from Joseph, Moses, David, and Paul, we will see a pattern God uses to prepare his children for their created purpose. Getting healthy has to come first before we can realize that purpose. We need God’s biblical healing before we can achieve our dreams and see our passions fulfilled.

More and more, our world is characterized by hatred and division. How can we live as Jesus asks us to live in such a hostile world? While we can’t control the world, we can control ourselves and make a positive impact. We can follow Jesus and be known by our love.

When a tragedy suddenly occurs it can be paralyzing. We can, at the same time, have a million thoughts going in a myriad of directions, and yet have no clarity or coherence on what to do next. We’ll talk about helpful considerations, including what thoughts to encourage and what to avoid.
