How do you respond to God when you feel inadequate to do something he has called

you to do?
There are instances whereby we try to disobey his command to us, may be
because we feel inadequate in doing so. You feel like you are not worthy enough of
doing such thing. You have doubts inside your brain that caused you in not doing
the work. Doubts will stop us being successful in our service for God.I feel guilty
and ashamed of myself towards God because of disobeying him. I feel like I'm not
worthy enough. But God knows about his people�s trouble. He feels sympathy for
them(us) in it. But there is more than this. God is able and eager to do something
about it. As God is saying to Moses: �You may feel inadequate, but I am not. I am
able to help you in this situation and in every situation.� We refuse to listen to
what God has said in his Word. We do not need a new understanding. We need a new
trust in what he has already said to us. God knows exactly why He chooses you to
carry out His purpose. All He asks of you is to trust and obediently follow
Him.Don�t let past failures or fear of the future render you useless to the Lord.
Feeling inadequate is not necessarily a weakness. If we turn our attention and
focus on God instead of on ourselves, then it can actually be a strength. When I am
feeling inadequate, I know that I have to depend on the Lord. There is no other
option, other than failure. When I am feeling adequate and strong in my abilities,
I am tempted to draw from my own strength and not from the Lord. I personally don�t
like feeling inadequate, but that is when I see God working in my life in a special
way. It is a good place to be, even though it may not feel that way at the time.

How does knowing that God is "with you" affect your daily life?
Knowing that God is always with make me feel contented. I feel so secure and
protected. I'm overwhelming with joy and love. I'm free from worries and negative
vibe, I put all my trust to him . I'm surrounded by his grace and glory. I feel
greatful for he is always with us. I couldn't ask for more for HE is enough for me
to be in this life we live for.

What kind of character qualities does God desire in our lives so that He can use us
to draw others to Himself?
Character is a spiritual Fruit that is built from our real, godly
relationship and commitment to Christ as LORD.
These are some of the character qualities:
�Love will enable us to appreciate our brothers and sisters in the Lord, and,
of course, our family, and others around us. Love is taking the initiative to build
up and meet the needs of others without expecting anything in return. (John 13:1;
15:13; 1 Corinthians 13:3)

� Joy will allow us to enjoy His creation, others, and our circumstances with
an expression of delight and real, authentic happiness from and with harmony with
God and others. (Proverbs 15:13; John 15:11; 17:13)

� Peace is surrendering and yielding to the Lord's control, for He is our

ultimate peace! It is allowing tranquility to be our tone and to control our
equanimity. This will be fueled by our harmonious relationship with God so we can
hand over control of our heart, will, and mind to Him. Once we make real peace with
God, we will be able to make and maintain peace with others. (Matthew 5:9;
Colossians 3:15; Philippians 4:7)

� Patience is showing tolerance and fortitude to others, and even accepting

difficult situations from them and God without making demands and conditions.
(Matthew 27:14; Romans 12:12; James 1:3,12)

� Kindness is practicing benevolence and a loving attitude towards others.

(Ephesians 4:32)
 � Goodness displays integrity, honesty, and compassion to others, and allows
us to do the right thing. (Matthew 19:16)

� Faithfulness is the "gluing" fruit that will preserve our faith and the
other characters of the Spirit as well as identify God's Will so we can be
dependable and trusting to God and others. (Matthew 17:19; 25:21; 1 Cor. 12:9;
Hebrews 11:1; 1 Thess. 5:24)

� Gentleness is the character that will show calmness, personal care, and
tenderness in meeting the needs of others. (Isa. 40:11; Phil. 4: 5; 2 Timothy 2:24;
1 Thess. 2:7)

� Self-Control will allow us to have discipline, and restraint with obedience

to God and others. (1 Thess. 5: 22)

� Forgiving is the realization of how much we have been forgiven by Christ.

This enables us to forgive the insignificant things that are done to us. It
involves not being resentful to others, and ignoring the wrongs that we have
received so we can heal relationships by expressing Christ's love. (Luke 23:34;
Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:13)

� Humility minimizes arrogance and removes pride. It is understanding our

fallen nature and tendency to think we are better than we are, and our striving to
lift up ourselves above others and God. It is admitting that others, and more
importantly God is responsible for our achievements. Humbleness will enable us to
be a teachable person who is willing to have the attitude of submission and
servant-hood, one who confesses sin and remembers how Christ served us! (Luke
22:27; Phil. 2:8; 1 Peter 5:3-5)

� Honesty & Truthfulness mean being straight and honest with others and doing
what is right. This trait will allow us to earn trust by being accurate with facts
and situations. (2 Cor. 8:21; Ephesians 4:25)

Does your faith have an impact on anyone else? What can you do visibly demonstrate
your faith to someone?
YES.Faith�believing and knowing in your heart because you just know it�s the
right thing to do.
Represent Jesus in the best possible way.
Be a friend by showing love. Jesus taught us to how to share the gospel by
showing our love to others in John 13:34-35: "Love one another. As I have loved
you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my
disciples, if you love one another.� " (1 Peter 2:12, NIV). Holy Spirit working in
us, we can forgive our enemies and love those who hate us, just as our Lord did. By
his grace we can be good examples to those outside of the kingdom who are watching
our lives.
Be a good, kind, and godly example. The Apostle Peter commended us to, "Live
such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they
may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
Obey God. Trust God. Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and
thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that
we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. (Colossians 4:2-3,
NIV)

What significant learnings did you gain from the life of Joseph?
Perhaps most profoundly, Joseph�s story presents amazing insight into how God
sovereignly works to overcome evil and bring about His plan. After all his ordeals,
Joseph is able to see God�s hand at work. As he reveals his identity to his
brothers, Joseph speaks of their sin this way: �Do not be distressed and do not be
angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God
sent me ahead of you. . . . It was not you who sent me here, but God� (Genesis
45:5, 7-8). Later, Joseph again reassures his brothers, offering forgiveness and
saying, �You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good� (Genesis 50:20).
Man�s most wicked intentions can never thwart the perfect plan of God.
