Bruce Hempel – being needy and being rich

Psalm 40:1-3, 16-17

In our lives we have times when we are in a major trial, and other times when we have much joy.

When we are in times of trial, we should remember that God has taken care of us through past trials and He will take care of us with this one. If we are going through a trial it is ok to be needy. Rest in the idea, “God has thought for me”.

Luke 6:20-23 (recounting of the beatitudes)

There is a richness that comes to us through our poverty. This is why the poor are blessed – it is not better to go through our lives without the times of need. If having the worlds riches keep us from gaining godly riches, then we are poorer.

Job is another example of going through hard things making us richer in life.

Kyle: Luke 7:41-42 - Our tribulations bring us to value God’s love for us.

We have had a couple years now where the Lord has nurtured a desire to reach out. I feel now that God wants to work a further deepening. “Lord will your deepen my faith, my love for You?” As we do this God will further the work around us.
