God ask us to trust Him, to step out in faith and rely on Him and not ourselves. That is really what should be at the core of all we do trust in Him alone. God is constantly at work in and around our lives, when we trust Him he reveals Himself to us in many different ways.
Re-thinking Christmas. It’s the series we are in right now and a topic of discussion in my home. The idea is to purchase a few less gifts and take the money saved, and donate it. We have placed our re-thinking envelope on the center of our tree, you can’t look at the tree without seeing it. It’s front and center on our tree and in our minds. We’ve been thinking about it, praying about it and talking about it for a few weeks. We’re trusting God on this one.
We have decided in addition to supporting the clean water, church plant, and the bread of life mission, that RiverGlen is backing, we are also going to give financially to a missionary this Christmas. Yesterday morning Kelly and I decided how much we would give. Three hours after making that decision I received very unexpectedly, and much to my surprise, an amount of money that will not only cover the amount we committed to, but will also leave a little left over.
Some will say it’s a coincidence. They can say that. I say, I serve a God that tells me to take him at his word. John 10:10 says I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. God provided more than we decided to give, he gave to us abundantly, we were blessed for our obedience.
I'm thinking I need to do some more re-thinking.
