Faithful

The Lord is ALWAYS faithful.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God" (Phil 4:6). As Blake was saying in the last post, there is absolutely no need to worry. Why would we worry when we have a perfect and powerful Heavenly Father looking out for our every need? As humans, there are many things that are beyond our control. We have to leave them up to God, so I challenge you guys to stop trying to come up with money for this trip by yourselves. Stop trying to make this work. Get on your face. Pray. Fast. Cry out to the Lord. James 1 reminds us that a prayer without faith is useless, so be reminded of how the Lord your God has been faithful always and will continue to be for eternity:

He delivered the Israelites out of Egypt, as he promised. (Exodus 6:6, Exodus 12:31)

He sent his Son to earth and he was born of a virgin, as he promised. (Isaiah 7:14; Luke 2)

His perfect Son died as a sacrifice for our sins, as he promised. (Isaiah 52:13-53:12; Luke 23)

Jesus was raised from the dead on the third day, as he promised. (John 2:22, Luke 24:1-7)

He sent the Holy Spirit to us, as he promised. (Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2:1-3, 16-21)

“You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed”(Joshua 23:14).

"Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations" (Deuteronomy 7:9)

God will always be faithful, so go pray in confidence that he is listening and if Mozambique is where he wants you this summer, he will without a doubt provide a way for you to get there. Do not limit the Lord to what you can do, his power is so much greater. Have faith because he is faithful.

Get excited for our meeting TONIGHT at 9:30 at the Loft. This is going to be an intense meeting, so please everyone try to be there!

Love you guys more than you know!
