I'm doing an amazing study with Andy Stanley on the life of Joseph. The study starts with a question that seems shallow but yet is so deep. Here's the question: What would you do considering your current circumstances,accomplishments,trials, everything that you have and has gained if you knew that God was with you? Its so amazing! I will continue to update this blog as I learn more.
One of things that has touch me today in this study of Joseph's life is that, how people around Joseph knew that God was with Him. When we learn to respond in light of everything we are going through and current circumstances as if God is with us people around us will know. My daily prayer is to ultimately not allow people to look at us but that they see God through it all. Everything (we) stand for needs to lead back to God's glory The Cross..........
So I finished the study today and Wow! Joseph operated in his life as if God was with him his whole life. He was confident that God was with Him,and guess what? He absolutely was. Three different time lines in his life.
1) When he was at the lowest point of his life
2) When he was more prosperous and wealthy than we can imagine.
3) When he was very powerful and had the upper hand on the people that had hurt him.
Two things I took from the end of this study.
The way life works is that the people that has hurt you will need you again. ( How will you react) Hopefully as if God is with you.
You will never experience all the good that can come from the bad in your life until you first are willing to admit that God is with you in the bad and refuse to play God when things are good.
I learned so much from this study.

Pease and Blessings to you. This light you refer to is very similar to the light reflected in Moses' face, also the glory of the Lord that was shining around those Bethlehem shepherds, leaving them terrified (Luke 2:9) The Glow Comes from time alone with God. Moses' glow came from standing in the presencse of the Divine. (Exodus 34:29-35) Others may notice this glow before the bearer. You are on your way to becoming a Spritual Leader grounded in prayer and hope. Keep up the good work.
