I'm going to get straight to the point… Satan is Trine (trying) to break me.
(Side note, I go to Trine University, but this post has nothing to do with Trine.)
I keep thinking about being a world racer and thoughts are running in my head that I can't do this.
Satan is leading me to believe that I'm not made for this.
I keep putting off and getting distracted with writing my support letter.
I have not been myself the past couple of days; I don't even think I have talked about The World Race with many people.
I have been stressed and overwhelmed in my work situations.
I have been overwhelmed with the thought of contacting so many people to raise this support.
I am overwhelmed with the need to rely on others for transportation to do all of this support raising.
I might even be letting Satan's little white lies rule my heart.
Here's the truth…
I serve a God that is bigger than this Satan dude.
My God is equipping me to do this work that He has called me to.
God has created me with a heart for missions.
My support letter will be finished this weekend and sent out soon after.
God has given me this opportunity and I'm going to share it with everyone.
God is present at my work and He is working in people's hearts there.
God is going to provide time for me to call people and meet with them individually.
God is going to provide transportation for me to get where I need to go.
The love of Jesus is written on the tablet of my heart, and the God that I love, serve, and share is going to do a mighty work through this process.
Some verses that God has laid on my heart through this storm are…
My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:1-2
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn.
Isaiah 61:1-2
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:33-34
The Lord, my God, is bigger than this storm. He will be with me wherever I go. He has called me to greater things. He has a plan and a purpose for my life. The World Race is the next step in reaching out to His people in a hurting world.
