It’s the wee hours of morning.
Up until tonight I haven’t laid awake much thinking about my upcoming travels.
I’ve been caught up in the details of every day life, and my World Race preparation checklist.
But now, time is short and a fresh wave of nerves and wonderment has splashed me awake.
This is a WHOLE year of my life…!!
What could God possibly want to do with all of that?
My team was challenged to study Matthew 10 and Luke 10 in preparation for this journey. It is a choice to put all the comforts of home aside and willingly become like sheep among wolves (Matt 10:16). There are costs to be counted.
One of my personal costs is an ever deepening question from God, saying: “Will you trust Me to lead you through this (situation, etc)?”
In my experience, everything God has taught me or given me has required an exchange.
My perspective for His perspective.
My circumstances for His circumstances.
My life for His life.
His exchange rate is kind of ridiculous, actually. 😉
Matthew and Luke 10 have brought me confidence – stirring my faith to respond:
“Wow, God. You are bigger than anything that we leave behind or will come against!”
God’s response to me:
“And I am bigger still.”
Merry Christmas!
