How well do I really know Him? If I knew Him, would I doubt?
Would I really question Him?
I am waiting right now to see if I can leave the country to
go on my mission’s trip to Mozambique. So many questions are going through my
head. Did I hear God correctly? Did I get the timing right? Should I quit my visa process right now to go on the trip, and start again? So many questions going
through my head, that if I allow it, can steal the freedom of walking in His fruits of His spirit.
When I sit at His feet He talks to me about hope. Hope that
all will fall in place in the perfect timing. That He is a good Father that
loves me more than I could know. He whispers in His still voice that He never
fails us. He never leaves or forsakes us.
He sits with me and talks to me about Faith. He takes me to
Psalm 25 and gets me back in line. Reminding me who is in control, as I feel helpless.
I realise how that is exactly the best place for me. When my only plan is Him.
‘In
you, Lord my God,
I put my trust.
2 I trust in you;
do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame,
but
shame will come on those
who are treacherous without cause.’
I am still $1000 short for the
trip, yet I know that He is so faithful. I don’t have a ticket yet, but I know
He is my provider.
I have to do it
up to 100 times a day. But He is teaching me how to give my worries and
disbelief to Him. He reminds me not to give up Hope prematurely. He reminds me that even if things don’t work out to my
desires, He is still good. Just as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego claimed. He
is good, even if we get burnt up. God is still good.
A friend of mine lead our devotional time at the gym this
last week, and lead a wonderful revelation of God’s love for us, in a very
simple way. He pointed out the reason of why artists put their signature on a
painting…because they want to show it’s theirs. They have just created a master
piece, and they would like to reveal it.
What did God put His face on? What did God reveal as His?
Us.
He made us in His image. He is so proud of us and allows us
to walk as His children daily.
If I was to doubt that God hasn’t got the best for me, then I
am doubting that He will never leave or forsake me. I know that He has. I know
that whatever His plan for me is to be, that is the best.
I know God wants me to go to Mozambique for a visit. I know
that He has spoken Joy, Freedom and healing in this trip. I know that He is
good.
Please continue joining me in prayer for my visa and
finances. For any mountains in the way that would stop me from going, gets
moved, according to His will.
