Silent but Present 2

Joseph kept on using his God-given gift, he did not wait for Pharaoh's officers to come begging, he willingly used his gift of interpretation of dreams as an opportunity to point them to God and we should do that too- Read Genesis 40: 8.

To show that Joseph was just as human as you and I, he told the chief butler to "bring him out when it is well with him" Genesis 40: 14-15. Oftentimes, like Joseph, we forget that our help comes from God alone and that even though men may forget, like the chief butler forgot about Joseph, God never forgets, He always keeps His promises. 

Don't Worry

Quite often, I wish I could talk myself out of worrying like I do to other people. I tell myself time and over again “to practice what I preach”. I must confess, it is easier said than done. Despite the fact that I have committed things to the Almighty and I have no doubts whatsoever that He would answer, I still find myself being worried. Is this peculiar to me or do people feel this way too?

Recently, I found myself sliding back into the habit of worrying and I prayed to God earnestly to please help me. You bet He answered; our God is still in the business of answering prayers. As soon I began worrying again, I remembered a song we used to sing while I was young, it goes thus:

Why worry when you can pray
Trust Jesus and He will lead the way
Don't be like doubtful Thomas
Just rest upon His promise
Why do you worry when you can pray?

I have made that song my anthem. The Holy Spirit has also been ministering to me with some Bible verses that I would like to share, just in case anyone is in the ‘boat of worrying’ with me.
