Have you even needed the services of a Lifeguard? The purpose of Lifeguards at the beach is to identify swimmers who are having difficulty in the ocean. They undergo the constant training to be able to assist a needy swimmer.
If you are a swimmer that has been floundering in the choppy waves of life, getting salt water in your lungs, cry out to Jesus, our Lifeguard! He is willing and ready to rescue you!
“Are you going through a trial? In whatever you are going through now, ask the Lord to show you His greater purpose. If you are sensitive to God’s Holy Spirit, you will see God’s hand in your suffering and the greater purpose for which He allowed the pain in your life, just as Joseph did. Joseph recognized God’s purpose for his suffering was “to save many lives.” © FearNotBook.com
The similarity between Jesus and Joseph is that the pain that they both endured resulted in the saving of their “family.”
John 3: 17 says:
God did not send His Son to condemn the world but that the world should be saved through Him.
