To the Work

How does God equip us for the work He has called us to do?


He shows us our weaknesses that grace might be our strength.
We suffer loss that He might become all we need.
He allows us to fail that our successes might be to His glory alone....
We struggle in our walk with Him that He might assure our souls that we are His children being molded--disciplined--into His likeness.
He works in secret that we might display our faith in His lovingkindness openly for all to see.
We stand alone that we might deeply sense His presence.
He provides our daily needs that we might be cheerful, exuberant, givers.
We face the storms that we might learn to be still and know that He is always the faithful God He claims to be.
He puts us in hopeless situations that we might freely cast every fear onto His care, released to His control.
We are disappointed in ourselves and our disobedience that He might whisper to our hearts, "I know that you love Me; now, go on, feed My sheep."

He has placed us in this time, in this place, among these people because it is now, here, with them that we will experience the abundant life He has planned for us--the best life that we could never have in another time, in another place, with other people.


"Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; all I have needed Thy hand hath provided,--great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me."
