JD Bowman | Looking with Eyes of Faith

Looking Back, Trust that God Works toward His Good Purpose. (50:19-21)

Like Joseph, our faith can transform the way that we think about and respond to people that have hurt us in the past.

?- Is there an experience in your past that makes you mad to think about how you were treated?

?- Can you trust that God allowed it to take place for His good purposes?

?- Can you forgive those who’ve hurt you, knowing, in faith, that God was at work even in their mistreatment of you?

Looking Ahead, Trust that God will Keep His Promises. (49:28-33, 50:24-25)

Jacob Trusted that God would Keep His Promises. (49:28-33)

Joseph Trusted that God would Keep His Promises. (50:24-25)

Like Jacob and Joseph, we can look ahead with faith if we know Christ as our Savior and are familiar with God’s promises about our eternity.

?- What are some promises that you cling to when the future seems bleak?

?- If you can’t name any of God’s promises for your future, might this partly explain fear or worry in your heart?
