“Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.”
Deuteronomy 31:8 NLT
To think these words spoken so many thousands of years ago are still relevant today, how good is our God. We must change our perspective from ‘this was spoken to those people’ to ‘this word speaks to my heart’.
Yesterday I stopped at my bank here in Nepal and afterwards visited a gift shop I had seen many times as I walked to church on Sundays. What a beautiful shop. Three levels of gorgeous crafts, carpets and paintings. I had sought a suitable basket to store my knitting wools and needle is. I found a unique basket that turned my creative crank. I also found a picture I will buy at another time. Hand made carpets called to me, but they can wait, a little while.
As I write this I am aware that the Lord is blessing me. My funds stretch so well here. The Lord has given me a project to work towards at the end of next year. He has showed me how He wants me to prepare and I am quietly excited. Even with saving for this project I live well. I am almost ashamed of how blessed I am (almost).
I love the Nepali language and today with my limited supply I am going out into my street to make friends with the locals with English story books for the children to borrow. I am attempting to create a library for them. I want to love them with the love I have been given. I pray for good success.
My God is so good as He goes before me. He surrounds me with His love and mercy. How good is He? What joy He brings!
