I, in this moment, am overwhelmed. I don’t think there has ever been a moment in my life where I’ve been this speechless. The Lord has provided. As of an hour ago, my financial needs for Uganda are fulfilled. God has brought in $3200 in two months! If I ever had any doubts that He could bring in the money, they are long gone. “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). The Lord has done the unthinkable; the unimaginable. He has provided the means . . . and I am overwhelmed. God has revealed where He wants to use me next, and I am ever so willing. I have been praying that He would use me in His plan; that He would tell me where to go and what to do. Sometimes I think I’m on the right track, but there isn’t always a bright neon flashing sign telling me “WRONG WAY” or vice versa. This is my sign. All this time I have felt like this is where God wants me; all this time, it has seemed like He has been working things out in my life for me to go on this trip and into further missions, but this is the bold, neon sign. God has brought in all the money. He plans to use me for His glory! “I took you from the ends of the earth, from it farthest corner I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant,’ I have chosen you and have not rejected you.” (Isaiah 41:9)
He has called and He has provided.
$3250!!!!!
Praise God!!
ReplyDeleteI think of the words of Amy Carmichael's mother just before sending her off to the mission field and I claim them as my own.
"My own Precious Child:
He Who hath led will lead
All through the wilderness,
He Who hath fed will surely feed
He Who hath heard thy cry
Will never close His ear,
He Who hath marked thy faintest sigh
Will not forget thy tear.
He loveth always, faileth never,
So rest on Him today--forever."
Yes, dearest Amy (Lydia), He has lent you to me all these years. He only knows what a strength, comfort, and joy you have been to me. In sorrow He made you my staff and solace, in loneliness my more than child companion, and in gladness my bright and merry-hearted sympathizer. So, darling, when He asks you now to go away from within my reach, can I say nay? No, no, Amy (Lydia), He is yours--you are His--to take you where He pleases and to use you as He pleases. I can trust you to Him, and I do--I thank Him for letting you hear His voice as you have done. So, my precious child, I give you back into His loving arms, saying from the depths of my being, "Take her, dear Lord--Thou wilt take the most loving care of her, use her in Thy service and for Thy glory now and where Thou pleasest, for Christ's sake. Amen."
