  I was once proud and arrogant.. I worked for years with physical problems.. but... &quot;I worked&quot; and all the time I was working I was judging others who were not.. &quot;Must be nice to sit home and get paid on welfare while I work so they can have cable TV!&quot; would be my favorite thing to rant.. Then I got sick and it didn&apos;t let up.. I was missing so much work and it was putting me in the hospital.. now to be fair.. I was going to church at this time in my life and had considered myself to being a follower of Christ.. but things didn&apos;t get any better and as time went by with me missing so much work.. we were unable to pay our bills and that also included the house.. we kept trying to get the banks to help us but I was making too much money (in truth I was making no money due to no time for missing work with vacation days...) long story short... my doctor and I talked about me going on disability.. as I started that.. I had to go to welfare to get help.. still.. the fact that we were going to lose the house and we had NO where to go.. My pride and foolishness drove us both the end of our ropes.. I wasn&apos;t suicidal but I didn&apos;t want to live.. soon they came and took the car.. we had no way of getting food then.. I remember lying in bed with a heart so heave it hurt.. I finally called out to God. I told he I couldn&apos;t fix this problem and that if he would take care of my wife I would be happy for it and that I was sorry for my sin.. the church we as attending had shut it&apos;s doors and though good friends did help as much as they could.. it just wasn&apos;t enough.. then the day came with the call from the bank came.. and God made a way for us too keep the home!! friends of ours gave us a car <b>that&apos;s still running after all these years!!</b> I remember reading the book of Job.. I wanted to know why God did what he did too Job.. and at the end.. God&apos;s answer was simple... he asked Job... &quot;Where were you when I laid the foundations of the world?&quot; .. how far had this proud man fallen... and yet.. like Peter walking on the water... Jesus had reached out his hand and pulled me up!!! I&apos;m now on disability and yes.. we have the internet.. O.o.. God meets our needs and is kind enough to let us enjoy somethings in life.. we have food on our table and yes.. the old car is still running us down the road for now.. I made good money back in my day.. no so much now.. but we have what we need.. I got Baptized just this last year.. all this being said.... Good Preaching and &nbsp;to all who read this... Please feel free to learn from my dumb mistakes... God Bless

  As my pastor once said, “Mercy is giving people what they need, not what they deserve.”

  Hi Mike. I&apos;m a pastor that has to preach on this passage this coming Sunday. Your sermon was super helpful to me during my preparation. God bless you and your ministry. =)

  Thanks Mike! &nbsp;I needed this. &nbsp;I have been slack in my prayers for my &quot;agnostic&quot; husband to find Christ Jesus. (I was too...until about six years ago....in our 18 year marriage). &nbsp; He grew up Catholic and defends that, but not Christ Jesus. &nbsp;I knew I needed to continue in my prayers ...though may not be answered the way I think they should be. &nbsp;Sigh...please pray for me...that I lose the pride that keeps me from trusting God more. &nbsp;I know He is good and very, very, very patient. &nbsp;I praise Him for that......or we&apos;d all be lost. &nbsp;God bless and much love to my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus!
