Something I have lacked in my walk with The Lord is humbleness.
2 Corinthians 7:14
" If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
I have failed.
Been a liar.
Been a thief.
Desired a sinful path.
Been haunted by fear.
Oppressed with shame.
Consumed with bitterness,
and plagued with un forgiveness.
But, praise be to God I have received forgiveness and am continually being brought to a place of humbleness.
Half way through our first month in Honduras, I was on the Internet responding to emails and such, and I kept thinking, "I should check to see how much I have in my support account."
Now, since about June I have been raising money for this trip, and every time a deadline has come around I have just barely made it. Sometimes I didn't even make the deadline, and would have to get an extension.
By the end of our third month of ministry, we need to have $11,000.00 and I seriously just didn't see how I was going to get the money I needed. But that's just it, I didn't see how.
Do we not serve a God that created the heavens and the earth? Do we not serve a God who parted the ocean so his people could be released from captivity? Do we not serve a God who brought a valley full of dry bones back to life into an army?
Do we not serve a God who formed us in our mother's womb, and has laid before us a path of purpose?
The answer, is Hell yes!
I limit our God and forget his faithfulness, but God is so patient with me. He DAILY brings me back to humbleness.
On 1/18/13 I received and Anonymous donation of $7,000.00……..BAM! Talk about humbling myself.
I am $530.70 from being fully funded!
He is a good and faithful father to me. I am blessed to be called his child.
I pray He will bring you to a place of humbleness right where you are at.
BAM!
Em.
