Seek His will

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭3‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I remember one of the first songs I learned as a new Christian was Seek the Lord, it was scripture in Song.  I loved that song, in fact the whole LP album. Singing scripture to yourself has a way of affirming God’s word in your heart. It has a way of harnessing the truth of the word whilst controlling all competing emotions.

We may think we know the path directly ahead, and even proceed to make plans, but God turns up with a surprise, and this changes things.

This morning I saw a family in Nepal lose their home to a fire. This is a common occurrence. Fortunately our young friends Timothy was at hand and helped them relocate, and even purchased new bedding and clothes for them.

In Australia we have seen bushfires ravage townships and leave people homeless, we have seen floods destroy homes twice within a year. Here, we are fortunate we have a government who can assist, along with many volunteers who come to the aid of the victims. In places like Nepal, this is not the case. Most villages are in similar situations and cannot help and the government is unable to help. It is winter there and cold. Without help families will freeze, they need good Samarinda to help.

We do not need to seek the Lord about who and when to help when the need is right before us. May God direct our paths this year! Amen!
