Genesis 49 &50; Psalm 10: Luke 20

Genesis finishes today with Joseph telling his brothers to NOT be afraid of him going for revenge because he knows God has him where He wanted him.....50: 19 But Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid. Am I in the place of God? 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
And then the Psalm talking about faith, the faith children exhibit...the faith we outgrow....the faith we never make our own??
And this morning I am struck with my desire to live a life of faith, trusting You with everything. Struck by how many times I fall short and am surprised...so much pride in my life that that would be surprising..... So little humility and dependence.
Perhaps IF I live in faith, out of MY comfort zone....naked and vulnerable....trusting You will give me words when I need them....maybe I will be more loving..?
