Well so its been a long time since I have updated this...
Over the last month I have seen the power of our Lord move in many ways, of course He was always moving, it was I who failed to recognize the work of His mighty hand. How faithful our God is, even when we are faithless. It amazes me how much He truly loves us and uses us as a vessel of honor sanctified, useful for the master and prepared for every good work.
This is something sweet the Lord showed me last week. Check out Jeremiah 29:11-14. This promise was given to the Israelites right before they went into the captivity of Babylon for 70 years. Im also going to a Nehemiah Bible study on Thurs nights, which in the timeline of Biblical events, is the period of restoration after the children of Israel leave Babylon. The Lord always has amazing plans for His children, to give them a future and a hope. We are placed into the midst of trials for some of own mistakes, the snare of the enemy and well just because we live in a fallen world. However, the Lord allows all of them and whatever the reason of a trial the Lord is and will work it all for the good. To draw us closer to Him, to be more fully equipped for whatever is to come next, for ministering to others, for the furthering of the gospel...the people, as God promised were brought out of captivity and restored to a closer relationship with Him.
Praise the Lord for the last 3 weeks in what has felt like a Babylon. He has taught me so much in my own life that I know required this time and experience to teach it to my thick skull. How great is the unfailing patience of our everlasting all-loving God to weak minded failing frail humans. wow that thought blows my mind.
anyway....theres a peak inside my head, if I would have wrote about a serious look inside my head, that could take all night and I have all my homework left... :)
Hope that you are blessed as we both realize how incredibly our God cares for us.
