The past month has been hard...we've been sick, we've been overwhelmed, we've been discouraged.
But why?
Today I was encouraged by a reminder of the promise we have in Scripture. The story of humanity is one of separation from God. The Good News found in scripture is that God has promised to redeem us to Him. Since Abraham this has been His promise to us. He fulfilled His promise to us through Christ. But then he calls us to serve Him. He calls us to go and He does the work.
There is a very encouraging and empowering theme in the way God fulfills His promises.
The promise to Abraham was all about what God would do. All Abraham had to do was go to where the Lord God commanded him to go. This call was definitely about what He wanted Abraham to do...but it was so much more. It was about the salvation of generations...the fulfillment of a Holy promise. (I might be simplifying a bit. Maybe not, though).
It's been way too easy for us to get caught up in all the things we need to do in the coming months. Especially as we deal with illness. But God is working...preparing a way for us. This new challenge seems daunting when we consider our inabilities and weaknesses. But these past couple of days have been a reminder to me how powerfully He works on our behalf.
A lot is happening. There will be more posts and updates in the coming days.
Praise God...and stay tuned!
