God has been good, and has been continually revealing Himself in my life over the past few weeks. I am confident that God answers our prayers. He hears our cries for help. He has always been faithful, but we cannot give into laziness. Giving God control of our lives does not mean that we are to give up our responsibilities. God's burden is light, but that doesn't mean we have no burdens. Man was designed to walk with God, and if God trust us, He will give us a real burden, to share in His suffering. This does not necessarily mean that something bad is going to happen to us, but that God will put a strong sense of concern or longing for something in regards to His kingdom. Some are burdened to go to different countries and reach different people groups with the Gospel. Some are burdened to help those who are sick, hurt, abused, or under oppression. God has given me a burden for the Church of Jesus, I have felt called to be the paramedic of the dying church in the West, because we face a lot of problems, and need to be revived once again. I love the Church, and every time I walking into a different gathering place of God's people, I feel the need to assess the atmosphere of what's going on, to love, to encourage, and to learn from everyone, everywhere I go, but also to bring renewal and reformation in areas of weakness. How can this call on my heart be made practical?
1. To hold fast to God, His Word, and the promises of Him who sent me
2. To do a lot of traveling. I want to learn from the Body of Christ in different parts of the country and the world.
3. To take what I have learned, and to train believers who are part of a church family to be a light to their congregations.
Please pray for me, as God continually shows Himself to me, and directs my path toward His calling for my life. Pray for God to give me wisdom in this confusing time in my life, that I would be able to be a good steward of what He has given me.
"Here am I, send me, though there's really not much I can do.
But I've answered the call, and I want to give it all to You." -Keith Green
