Faith….

I am walking out a time of leaning on Him right now. He is teaching me about Faith and Hope in Him.

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.
I trust in you;
    do not let me be put to shame,
    nor let my enemies triumph over me.
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.
