The Brook

We can only find mercy for others when we rest in God’s sovereignty over our own lives. “It was not you who sent me here, but God."

Like Joseph, we should always be preparing & waiting for our God-ordained moments. Be ready!

The preparing & the waiting is where faith is tested & perfected.

God walked Joseph through a nightmare in order to fulfill a dream. God works all things for our good and His glory!

Fellowship (as Jesus defines it) always begins with the Spirit of God & the Word of God.

Following Jesus leads to serving others, not being served.

What Jesus is offering is always greater than what He’s requesting. He pours into us to be poured back out of us.

Names are important. They tell us who we are; they also tell us whose we are.

Rachel tried to earn what she had already been freely given: Jacob’s love. We do this with God.

Our greatest act of worship toward the Father is obedience.
