Today, I find myself on the verge of another great adventure of faith. Having had one of the most difficult years of my life I now face the fact that I will be without a house, job and an unknown future. I do not however fear the coming adventure as I am filled with excitement to see how the Lord shall lead me and my family along this walk. I am also comforted by the words of a great hymn written by Haratio G. Spafford in 1873:
"Though Satan shall buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And has shed his own blood for my Soul."
Being a blood bought saint I know my treasures are in heaven and not of this earth. I have been able to reflect this past year and have seen how at times my eyes are not always on the prize, I do not always stay focused on the foot of the cross. I have some great anticipation to what may come before me in the near future and the opportunities to be more vocal about my faith. I trust the Lord to provide me a venue to share, witness and serve. The job, the housing and the worldly comforts shall come.
May all the glory go to The Lord Jesus Christ for what he works in the hearts of my family and those whose lives we touch.
