“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
People may abandon us, but God does not. People may be disinterested in what we are doing but do we do it for them or God? I will spend enternity with the One that matters and whose opinion really counts. It is His ‘well done’ I seek, not man’s.
When we expect close friends to rejoice with us and mourn with us and they are not there, we can be disappointed, however, God was with us when we went and He was vitally interested in what we did. It was He who used our simple efforts for His glory.
I notice that God is moving ahead of me in the work He wants me to do. I anticipate a need and He goes before me to provide, miraculously. I have researched many entities for the work in Nepal and realised we needed to create an NGO (non-government organisation), I am excluded from being named because I am a foreigner, but I can apply to do voluntary work with said NGO. The day before we left on our first mission to teach in schools in Sindhulpalchok, my colleague Thomas was given an NGO. Not just any NGO but one which spells out the work we will do. I was amazed. Praise God!
This Saturday we will meet Thomas’ uncle who deals with motor vehicles. We need a 4WD. I am praying for a miracle. May God provide! Amen!
