Well, it’s about time I blogged again… hmm… words are not flowing. I will share a verse that has encouraged me in my devotions.
Isaiah 55:10-11
“For as the rain and snow come down from heaven and do no return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My Word be that goes out from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, but shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”
Mariah did a really good job summing up our time with Mickey. I felt God laying it on my heart to write out some verses to leave with her. I copied out Psalm 73:23-28 (my life verses) and explain that it described what God is to me. She agreed to read it later and let me know if she has any questions. She has no foundation in the Bible or knowledge of God. I wanted so bad to just share all my heart and God’s salvation with her, but without building a proper foundation it would not make sense. I’m just praying that the verses I left with her will intrigue her enough to create an open door for other opportunities. Please pray for the salvation of the this precious Japanese girl.
It is raining outside right now. Actually it is more of a moist mountain mist. I think that the rainy season we have been told about from our first day has finally arrived. The surroundings here at Adatara Bible Camp are green, green and more green, with some vivid flowers thrown in just for fun. You can almost feel the ground soaking in the water and the plants drinking it up. As I look at the rain it makes me remember God’s faithfulness. He is faithful to maintain the water cycle, from the little streams in the mountains and the rainy season in Japan, to the crashing waves of the ocean and the underground reserves that supply thousands of people.
He is also faithful to water the seeds of His Word in the hearts of people. I take great comfort in the promise that God’s words will not return to Him empty. He has a purpose and a task for it to accomplish. It doesn’t say it might succeed, but it shall succeed! He feeds the souls of the hungry till they thrive.
Oh, Lord when I am weary, when I feel there is no purpose being accomplished… help me to be faithful to proclaim Your Word. You have promised Lord, to give the success. Only help me to be faithful.
