INTO THE PATIENT WAITING...

Psalm 111 Praise the Lord! I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation. The works of the Lord are great, studied by all who have pleasure in them. His work is honorable and glorious, and His righteousness endures forever. He has made His wonderful works to be rememered; the Lord is gracious and full of compassion. He has given food to those who fear Him; He will ever be mindful ot His covenant. He has declared to His people the power ot His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations. The works of His hands are verity and justice; All His precepts are sure. (isn't that beautiful!) They stand fast forever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. He has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever: Holy and awesome if His name. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdome; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.

It will not do to say that you have no special call to go to China. With these facts before you and with the command of the Lord Jesus to go and preach the gospel to every creature, you need rather to ascertain whether you have a special call to stay at home -Hudson Taylor This quote by Taylor have been going over and over in my head this evening. Makes me think alot about what He wants me to do versus what I want to do. One of my favorite artists, Andrew Peterson, wrote these words down...he wrote them in relation to Abraham and Sarah following the Lord into an unknown land. But the same can be applied to us today, how do we respond to the unknown situations ahead of us? Do we glorify Him in the circumstance? Where are we putting our strength? Are we willing to obey? - - - Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord. And the Lord I will obey, Lord, help me I don't know...the way. - - - ~Psalm 111~
