Which Bible character’s circumstance and actions do you relate to the most? I paraphrased these passages; therefore, I also listed Scripture verses for your reference.
JOSEPH - Pharaoh needed dreams interpreted. Joseph told his earthly master that God was speaking and there were both good and bad times ahead. Subsequently, Joseph advised Pharaoh to find a smart and wise man and have him prepare Egypt for the upcoming famine. Hence Pharaoh chose Joseph. Genesis 41:28-46
DANIEL - Besieged Jerusalem caused Daniel’s exile to Babylon; however, Daniel stood on his convictions by remaining faithful to the Jewish laws of eating and prayer. God blessed his obedience; consequently, those in authority favored this young man. Therefore he succeeded in his new life. Daniel Chapter 1
GIDEON - Despite Gideon’s faith struggles, he was the fifth judge of Israel and listed in Hebrews Hall of Faith. (See Hebrews 11) God’s extraordinary patience showed when Gideon complained of low status and his inability to serve God effectively. Consequently, God answered Gideon’s questions and concerns; eventually, this timid man obeyed God with considerable success. Judges 6: 36-40
THE SUFFERING WOMAN - On his way to heal a little girl, curious crowds surrounded Jesus. However, there was a woman in the multitude of people whose faith was stronger than mere curious interest. She suffered twelve years from a debilitating illness and knew healing was possible by touching Jesus’ robe. Unlike many today, who profess to know Jesus, she understood His power. Therefore, Jesus commended her faith and told her to go in peace. Matthew 9: 20-22
DAVID - David’s Psalms are full of beauty and grace. From a young boy, David was passionate about his relationship with God; thus known as a “man after God’s heart.” In his Psalms, David includes praise, thankfulness, confession, and honest feelings; equally important; he expressed fear, depression, and vengeance. Psalm 145 sums it up, expressing God’s unequal greatness and, moreover, how He deserves our worship and praise.
NEHEMIAH – Although Nehemiah spent quality time with God, he was known for his quick, short, and to the point prayers. Whenever he had a problem to tackle, a request to make, or a job to accomplish, he prayed an “arrow” prayer before beginning. Ultimately, this man obeyed God and was honorable in all his dealings. Nehemiah 2: 1-6
