Going to China tomorrow morning, so wish everyone peace and safety:)
It is so surreal that this is finally materialising, the past week had been so uncertain, turbulent and stressful.
But our Lord had been so faithful, being ever so patient with my kan-chongness - always wanting answers straight away, being so efficient that I lack sensitivity to others around me. He looked down with forgiveness as I shouted at a certain some one and showed irritation with a couple more, during the times of distress. And He took my hand firmly through it all.
With everything happening, and one obstacle after another, He did not carry me when the going got tough, instead, he gently lead me by the hand and by the heart.
He tugged and pulled gently when I was slowing down or losing heart.
He waited patiently with my hand in His when I needed to stop and rest at the side of the journey.
He watched for fresh fruits to quench my thirst, and soft bread when I was hungry.
Despite being busy and exhausted, God fanned off sickness, and gave me wings to fly.
As I embark on my first mission trip to the great mighty land I feel so closely connected to - may I remember Ephesians 6:10-18,
' Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints "
Praise God for this great opportunity. As I held my faith in the Lord, he delivered time and again.
" Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. " -Psalm 37:4.
Thanks Aunty Merrilyn and Arthur for the verses of encouragment!
