notes from church today

Pastor Bob Hearon
God's Time line for Joseph:
Joseph received the dream to rule over Egypt when he was 17 yrs old (Gen 37).
yr 1: he was sold into slavery at age 17 (Gen 37).
yr 2-4?: he was in Potiphar's house (Gen 39).
yr 5-10?: he was in prison (Gen 40).
yr 11-12?: he was forgotten by the Baker (Gen 40).
yr 13? he rules Egypt when he's 30 yrs old (Gen41).

Joseph waited 13 yrs for God to fulfill his dream. i made a list of the dreams that God has given me & the yrs that He gave them to me. I'm going to type them up, write down the following verses, & maybe God's time line for Joseph, & put the paper on my bulletin board.

these verses in Ps were from last wk's sermon by Pastor Darryl Philips.
"Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for Him to act. Don't worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes...Put your hope in the Lord. Travel steadily along His path. He will honor you by giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed." Psalm 37:7, 34 NLT

i've known the following verse since i was a kid. it wasn't in either sermon that's mentioned in this post.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV.
