Trusting His Word

Trusting his word:Before we left Scotland Lorna and I spent a lot of time in prayer and committing ourselves to this project. Much of our time was spent discussing and meditating on the verse from Romans:



“I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” Romans 9:17


The other day we were chatting about what God has already done on this trip, the responsibility he has given us with the show and then we were looking forward and asking God for guidance for the plans ahead. It was only as we lay reflecting on the work here that we realised that this has been our prayer and that day by day it is being answered. This is precisely what we asked God for and we see it manifesting itself in these children- yet we were, and still are, shocked that it is actually happening before our eyes. Everyday we are grateful for his faithfulness and we urge you too, to make yourselves available to him. We are truly believe that no matter what is causing you to struggle at the moment nothing is more powerful than God and nothing can harm you (Romans 8:31) for he will give you all things if you just ask. Joyce Meyer probably illustrates this point better than I can. She uses an analogy of an unused cake mix (in her book ‘The Making of a Leader’). In it she describes how our faith can sometimes be like the unused cake mix. You have all the ingredients to make something delicious. In other words God has given you all the talents, gifts and recourses you need but unless you make the effort to open the cupboard and put it together you will never be able to make the cake. What’s even more disappointing, and slightly more concerning, is that other people are just dying to taste your cake: they’re praying for you and longing for you to take that step so just open the bloomin’ cupboard.

Easy for you to say, you grumble- jetting off around the world. Well, not exactly! It wasn’t easy for us to get to this place. Before this there were a lot of tears, trials, failures and anxieties. I really won’t bore you with the details but getting through those is what has brought us to this place. So never give up on believing in God cos I can assure you he never gives up on believing in you.
