Do not fear

“For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.”Isaiah‬ ‭41‬:‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

The whole chapter is filled with promises; that those who opposed me will be no more; that God will use me as a threshing sledge. I only discovered what one of these were a few days ago when listening to a message by a preacher. This sledge had small stones set in the undercarriage and the ox pulled the sledge around over the newly harvested grain. The stones help crush the wheat and remove the chaff.

Last night I awoke with a stiff neck from sleeping in the chair and went and lay on the bed. I slept much better. I had been sleeping in a chair because I had been coughing. Laying on a bed exacerbated it. Last night it didn’t, praise God! I am mending!

Today I can begin to meet people and find my purpose here. Already I have a request to meet. This week I hope to meet with UVN and a woman I have known for some time, Uma. She is in a women’s work. My friend Warren has already found an English speaking church that meets on Sunday. That will be a blessing. Whilst my aim is to learn Nepali I will need refreshing in my mother tongue. Already there is a lady there I need to meet. She has lived in Nepal for around 60 years, what stories she will have to tell.

I am seeking the Lord for healing, complete healing of my body. Joseph Prince exhorts us to pray in the spirit and circle the promise. I will do this today. Amen!
