Today we're diving back into the story of Joseph. Pastor Mike Breaux teaches us that even when things seem to be going wrong, we should hold onto our faith and trust that God has a plan for our lives. We should pursue our dreams and goals, even if others don't understand them. And we should remember that sometimes things happen that are out of our control, and it's important not to blame ourselves.

Today's podcast discusses how we can trust God's plan for our lives when we can't see the bigger picture. God's plan for our lives is more about who we are becoming as people than what we do or where we go. It's important to desire a relationship with God more than His answers for our lives. It is out of that intimacy that we become sensitive to his voice of leadership.

In this episode, Pastor Mike Breaux dives into three foundational principles for understanding God's will. First, we learn that God's will is more about the person we are becoming than what we do or where we go. Second, we discover that God longs for us to desire Him more than His answers for our life. And third, we emphasize that our role is not to find God's will but to follow God's voice.

When we think about God's will, our minds often jump to decisions, choices, and options, but God's primary focus is on who we are.

God transforms us as we allow Him to work. When we surrender and focus on what is true, our behavior transforms. Not because we try harder but because He makes us new when we allow Him in. All we need to do is believe. God will do the rest.

We have to renew our minds because it’s so easy to go back to the old way of thinking. We are made new in Christ and our past identity no longer is who we are. Being in an honest community and establishing new positive habits helps us walk in the truth of who we are. We are free from what we do, but walking in freedom is our choice.

Like a football player being traded to a new team, we have put on a new jersey in Christ. We played for the enemy, but now we have been put on a new team.

Big idea: Don't allow old habits to confuse you about which team you are on.

Guilt can be helpful in showing us something is wrong. Shame, on the other hand, comes from unresolved guilt and accuses us of being something we are not. Grace is the weapon to fight shame.

Jesus has compassion for all of us “doers” who want to earn our way to His love. Let's draw near to Him, let His love define us, and let go of our obsession with works.

As we continue to think about our identity in reference to what we do, we have to consider if we have a worship problem. We will worship one of two ways. We will either worship God or man-made images. In worshiping God, we see ourselves in light of who He is, rather than what we do. In worshipping man-made images, we endlessly strive to perform, keep up, or impress.

Pastor Mike challenges us to channel our God-given drive to work hard, compete, achieve, and excel in a healthy, humble, and God-honoring way. We don't need to try to earn the love that has already been given. In Christ, we are already accepted and applauded by the One who matters most.
