The God Who Is There, All the Time - Joseph's Story
Prepare to Meet Your God

Genesis 50:20, Mark 10:13-16, Ephesians 4:31-32
Any of you who have traveled out west in the Rocky Mountains have seen the signs that tell you that you are crossing the continental divide. The continental divide is that point that separates the watersheds of the east from the west. Theoretically at least, if you could place a knife edge on precisely the right spot and then allow a droplet of water to fall on that knife edge, that water droplet would spit in half, half would fall to the east and half to the rest. One half of the droplet would flow west into the Yellowstone, the Snake, then the Columbia River, and finally out into the Pacific Ocean. That other half could flow toward the Platt, the Missouri, the Mighty Mississippi, and ultimately out into the Gulf of Mexico, and then into the Atlantic. One drop of water falling at the same place separated into two totally different destinies.
That geographical fact is a parable of life. Sometime moments in life are continental divides. Sometimes we confront momentary situations in life that result in life long consequences. We face a decision. One decision will take us in one direction. The other decision can take us in a totally different direction. Whatever our decision, we will live with it for the rest of our lives or even eternity.
To change metaphors, such a moment is a fork in the road. As that famous baseball philosopher Yogi Berra once said, "Whenever you come to a fork in the road, take it!" If it were only that easy! I want to talk to you about three fork-in-the-road moments in life that all of us face, water shed moments.
Tonight we are looking at the fourth great patriarch in Genesis. We have been preparing to meet the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. We have learned that God of Abraham is the God who makes promises and keeps them. We are called to be people of faith who are completel ...
