Doing the Work
Today, I am again reminded that there is nothing more exciting than having the opportunity to do God’s work. In our group devotional this afternoon, I shared with our team something that never fails to amaze me: Our chance, the God-given opportunity, to be a part of His promise.
God’s Word is so full of promises to His people. From David in the Psalms, noting that he had never seen the children of Godly men begging bread, to Jesus Christ Himself, saying, “Lo, I am with you alway,” God has staked His character on His faithfulness to His people.
There were times in the Bible that God fulfilled that promise by pouring out blessing from Heaven–the manna in the wilderness comes to mind. But far more often than that, God uses other people to do that work. Those people are a part of God’s promise, a piece in meeting His covenant with His people.
I am overwhelmed to be a part of the promise, a small piece in proving God’s faithfulness.
After a pleasantly shorter-than-expected ride to Mae Sot, we are now ensconced in the hotel that will serve as our home base. The next two days, we should be ministering to the children in the Freedom House Orphanage.
Updates and pictures to follow. Thanks again for your prayers–it is no exaggeration to say that God is literally pouring out His blessing on this trip so far.
