Isn't it just like God to show up when we least expect it?!
For some reason in my life, He has taken me to places of surrender, and after I have surrendered, He blesses me incredibly. This happened when I was in Peru in 2009 with Adventures in Missions. Surrender was a common topic for the two months and I was having a lot of difficulty with it. Finally, after a lot of talking with Jesus, I decided that I would rather go where ever He lead, then finish up my last year at American University without Him. I wasn't sure where I was going to come up with the money to finish up my senior year since I had given that summer for His glory in Peru. Little did I know that He had it all planned out. Once I came home after the trip, my mom told me that American had given me financial aid. When I checked my account, I saw that the college was going to owe me money after I graduated! Praise Jesus! I really think that it starts with surrender.
A similar experience happened to me this week. I was talking to Jesus about World Race. I was not trusting Him to provide and was getting a little discouraged about the amount of people that were partnering with me in this. He showed me that I needed to give it to Him! After all, I can trust Him for my salvation, why couldn't I trust that He would provide for me?! After I surrendered and started making conscious efforts to speak Truth into my own life about His character and His plan, I checked my support account later on in the day and found that someone had partnered with me with a significant amount of money! He blesses me at the perfect times!
I know He is faithful and will complete what He started! Pray that I can keep a firm grasp on His Truth and stay rooted in Him!
Thank you for blessing me!
