For many years I often wondered, why is it so important to read the Bible?  I struggled with the head to heart connection.  Over time, however, God's Word became more than just words, but life!  (Hebrews 4:12)

I've often related reading the Bible to eating food (Ps. I love food!) But stay with me here. Our physical bodies need food to sustain life - correct?  Well, our spiritual bodies need the Word of God to sustain us! Jesus was often referred to as The Bread of Life and Living Water.  What better place to get your 'fill' than God's Word!

Yesterday we talked about Discovering Our Purpose in His Plan and learned how to establish faith in an unfair fight.  We also learned what faith is and spoiler, it’s an ACTION!   We talked about a very well-known story of an unfair fight with a shepherd boy and a giant!  

But today, as we wrap up this series, we are going to touch on these two stories found in Exodus 17 & 18.  They go hand-in-hand with how we, as a body of believers can unite and grow together, especially in times of struggle.

Yesterday we talked about Understanding God’s Side of Our Trials and how His Discipline Enhances Our Development.  We discussed what discipline truly is and how the proper understanding of God’s discipline can actually grow us!  We learned a lot about growth and discipline through the story of Joseph!  One of my favorites!  

If you missed it, just hop on over to the show notes to get caught up!

Today we are taking that first step in Discovering Our Purpose in His Plan.  And how to Establish Faith in an Unfair Fight.

An important part of understanding God’s side of our trials is to first KNOW GOD!  I think too often when we face trials we get so consumed by the trial itself that our perspective is solely on ourselves, not on God.   A vital part of understanding God's side of our trials requires discipline.

*DISCLAIMER:  We will never fully understand God nor know the details of everything we endure this side of Heaven BUT have been given glimpses to His everlasting promise:  EPHESIANS 1:8-10 “With all wisdom and understanding, He made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.”

Today, you will see first-hand the power that comes with believing in God’s promises. That power can be revealed through our own personal testimonies.

“Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah.  For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”
 Revelation 12:10-11

Testimony Breakdown:
      Test. I. Mony.
       Test = obstacle you face
        I =  YOUR personal story or journey
        Mony =  the action you took
