Wow what an eye opening book. Jesus is all we need from seeing Miracles play out in your life to coming back from death. To Jesus dying on the cross so we can be saved and give God the Glory so He can prepare us for our comeback Im currently experiencing this in my life starting a new job starting from the bottom and working my way up I give it to God He had a plan and Im beginning to see it play out. God is Good.

This chapter examines how Paul was an example of change just like in our lives. God changed his name to Saul to take on a whole new identity in Christ he was to take on a whole new life a whole new adventure...a whole new way of living life for the way God planned it...God always has a plan for our lives.

This book really makes you think why is God bringing me to read this book in this time and in this hour...I now understand why I read this chapter today. I need to understand why I am where I am a new thing a new adventure has started, something I never done before, know this is where God wants me for right now but be prepared for what's coming behind the curtain as God's bigger plan is revealed in His timing.

The message of this chapter is stop going back to your old ways its time to live the way God wants you to live. Its time to GET UP the title of this chapter plain and simple...God is the God of the Comeback...

This has to be one of the most important chapters in this book. Jesus with His disciples out on the boat with Simon Peter. The quote that I recognized to be significant in this chapter is "Apart from Me you can do nothing...if you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." John 21 15:5-7. I got a lot out of this chapter.

We may not understand God's timing and God's Plan, in this chapter we see how God's timing shows us a miracle better than we ever could imagined. Lazarus is the perfect example of waiting on God to work a miracle for His Glory after Lazarus had been in the tomb for 4 days Jesus raised him from the dead...God knows the beginning our present and our future anx he's working it all out for His Glory...

The story of Samson its real fascinating...Ive been wanting to watch the movie version of Samson now I know the story. Like us we get our strength from God. In a way we are like Samson as people of faith. We know we have God but when we doubt the strength leaves us but when its time strength comes back because its because of God that our faith remains strong...

Wow what an eye opening chapter. No matter what we do in life and how far we fall away from our faith and our hope and trust in God He will always welcome us back with open arms...

I have been thinking as I have been learning more about Joseph, he was most like us as a society of Christians He followed God's Word. He was used by God. He wasn't perfect but that's who we are as a society. We dont question what God has for us we just let His plan be fulfilled...as Joseph did...God is not done with us.

I liked this chapter it clearly shows what kind of a person Jesus was and still is when you think He cant reach out and save you from all that life has thrown at you He's there. God can bring you back to Him.
