“Wherever I go, your hand will guide me; your strength will empower me.”Psalms 139:10 TPT
Last night I had a dinner party. The guests arrived with their young son also. He was not expected, however we made room for him at the table. He dominated the conversation. He did not like the food as there was no rice, until dessert came and he wanted more. I used the gathering as a way to celebrate my son’s birthday tomorrow. My son is in Australia and turns 43. I wanted Jarrod to have a glimpse of a Nepali birthday celebration. Today my son is running an evangelistic crusade back in Australia. Perhaps my guest’s son will also be a crusader as my son was also a chatterbox.
The father of the boy spoke very quietly and I struggled to hear him. My friend Chelle was also present and she kept up the conversation with the parents who are believers and carry responsible positions in a large local church.
The night left me disappointed as I was unable to participate. However, I must ask myself ‘why are you cast down oh my soul?’ I knew my guests and I know my situation. I find I had expectations that were not met, and yet I did not fully prepare myself knowing what I should expect and what God wanted me to do. I can honestly say I prefer the dinner we had with all non-believers than the this dinner. I love the non-believers and hunger to show them my beautiful saviour.
My Lord knows me and wants to place me in positions where I fit best. I will trust Him to do that in future. When I am with non-believers I sense my God’s love for them and joyfully participate in our time together.
