Over the years, it's been clear that God is concerned with the big things and the little things that concern us. It's been so good to see how God has been faithful and answered our prayers. We've become dependent on God to provide for the mission and for His power to make us effective in our ministry.
But even though we see God regularly at work in our ministry, we are also blessed to know that God still does the unimaginable as He works out His will.
I was reminded about this recently at our Association of Gospel Rescue Mission (AGRM) conference that Chip, Steve, and I attended this week in St. Charles, Illinois. At a lunch round table in the exhibition hall, a director from another rescue mission recounted his experience in funding a very large capital project. Although it was a lengthy story (and I've already forgotten some of the details), this director found himself lacking a certain sum of money that the mission had to have to contribute towards the funding of this project. So he decided to send out a letter to some of their donors simply asking for prayer about this. One of his donors who had received a letter, called the director and told him that God had called him to be the "check writer" for the project and he knew that he was to give a specific size gift, which as it turned out was the exact amount the mission needed to complete the funding of the project. PRAISE BE TO GOD!
God is actively pursuing His agenda in our world today. Ask God to reveal to you what He wants to do through you. His invisible hand will guide you!
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my
power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12:9)
