When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream. Genesis 41:1
Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt, but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land. Genesis 41:29 - 30
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Genesis 50:20
He cried out, “Who are you sir? Where’s that light from?” The Lord answers, “I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting.
Now get up and go into the city and you will be told what you must do.” Acts 9:5 - 6
Saul of Tarsus becomes Paul the Apostle because of the grace of God.
I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. Five times I received from the Jews the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers. I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked. Besides everything else, I face daily the pressure of my concern for all the churches. 2 Corinthians 11:23 - 28
IF YOU’VE NEVER BOWED YOUR HEART TO JESUS, YOU’RE LOST
If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. Romans 10:9 - 10
