Luke 1:37 is one of my favorites, “For nothing is impossible with God.” I have clung to this verse when I have been told that what I am doing is an impossible task. I have leaned into this verse when the opposition seems to be too much. I have depended on this promise when all hope seems to be lost. Another verse that pairs together with this promise is Philippians 4:13, “For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” “What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” Romans 8:31
What God starts, He finishes. I live with the peace of trusting in His Word and in His timing not mine. The Ugandan Dream is a perfect example. “One of the main ways I assert My sovereignty is in the timing of events.” I have been in Uganda now for 8 years. We have had many victories and many discouragements. This has been one of the most challenging years for me. Yet, when I let go of all control, it gave room for God to do it His way! I can’t even explain all that has happened in the last couple of months. Things have just exploded in ways that can only be explained by the miraculous!!! His ways are always better! We still are working hard towards reaching our goals...but we are enjoying the peace that passes all understanding as we, “Slow down, and enjoy the journey in His Presence.” I truly am living this out now and I am loving it!
We have heard the quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Life is a journey, not a destination.” As Sarah Young points out, ENJOY the journey in HIS PRESENCE! What a truth to cling to!
Love you!
