Let your hand be with me

"Our ability comes from God" 2 Corinthians 3: 5

 

In 1999, God spoke clearly to me, my wife and me. He asked us to go to a Bible school established on another continent. We were so happy, excited and eager to find out what the Lord had in store for us! All the plans we had drawn up had lapsed. The Lord asked us a true step of faith.
God wishes to make you capable of accomplishing His purposes.

It was the Adventure with a big "A". Very slim savings, no friends on the spot, a simple student visa not allowing me to work ! The story was perilous and involved a number of important challenges. Once the emotion had subsided, I experienced a strange experience. Lying on my bed, I felt as if I were flying away and, from up there, to discover the journey that awaited me. All at once I measured the extent of the journey and its complications. A thrill of anguish invades my whole being. After wishing to leave to serve God, fear now hugged my heart and this question that tormented my mind : "Would I be up to this expedition ?" Fortunately, since that day I panicked until today , The hand of the Lord has always been tense to help and help us. The Lord is faithful, he does not forsake the one who trusts in him. What he begins in our life, he accomplishes perfectly.

Perhaps you think God's plans too far-fetched for you ? Well, you're right ! That is why you undeniably need his power. Pray asking the Lord that his good hand be upon you. The projects of God surpass you, are they greater than you ? Then call for his intervention.

God wishes to make you capable of accomplishing His purposes. If today you feel too small - and this feeling is justified - the Lord stands by your side to dispense you with the necessary anointing. Everything from him, have faith that he watches over you.

A prayer for today

Lord, your plan is wonderful and so great, and I really need your hand on my life, amen.
