Listening to - Who alone can rescue - matt redman
Hey y'all. Mitch has inspired me to write my blog. So here is a brief overview of Uganda.
How odd it was to literally jump on a plane with a couple of t-shirts in my duffel bag for a few weeks. I realised throughout the week that God wasn't using me in my full engineering capacity. What he was doing is teaching me humbleness. In a situation with a new team of strangers in a strange land, God was working in every one of them not just expanding his kingdom on land but also in the heart of those on the team and those around us. From one guy stepping up when called to speak at church, to others opening up fully in our first team devotional times.
To leave you, Mitch, with a verse that has inspired me late. It talks of what we have to give God, and that reality is God wants us to seek him. This is a well known verse but I feel it has much more meaning in full.
So Micah 6-8:
With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands or rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has told you what is good; and what does the lord require of you but to do justice, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
And my prayer for you: But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them that those who love your name may exult in you. For you bless the righteous Oh Lord, you cover him with favour as with a shield
