Trust God (By Andrew)


Finally things are seeming to reach a lull, with no more funerals to attend and the next wedding at least 3 weeks in the future. As I sit back and reflect on what God has been doing in our lives, and how He provides for us each and every day, I can’t help but be amazed. This month we have built two new staff houses, we’ve begun building trusses for the new technical training workshop where we will be teaching auto/motorcycle mechanics, and we have begun replacing the dorm roof which was becoming unsafe. Every time that there is a need we have but to take it to God and He meets it, and while He does that, He ensures that there is no way that we as missionaries can claim credit for it.

As we are reaching the end of the school year it is a temptation to become overly worried and anxious about the lack of teachers for next year, but this morning God gave me another opportunity to learn to trust him more. When I opened my Bible this morning it opened to the 4th chapter of Philippians and I read verse 19 which says: “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (emphasis supplied).  That text immediately reminded me that God has everything under control, and He knows already what we need and He is already at work to provide the needed volunteers. At the same time though I must remember that I also have a work to do, as is stated in Matt 9:38 “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.” Please join me in praying, so that we can finish this work and go home.
