Sorry it has been so long since last post, I will try to do much better.

I continue to be amazed at how faithful God is. I see him answering prayers more and more often these days. I don’t mean to say that I see God doing what I pray for Him to do, I just mean that I see His hand on things more often.

When we were in China last month, I was so excited that He allowed Catherine and I to be in the “Birthing Room” when 2 people prayed to receive Christ as their Lord and Savior. Prior to the trip, I prayed that He would save souls while we were there, but I had no idea He was going to start the first day. That night after we all celebrated and cried for joy, I laid in bed and confessed my lack of faith. I realized that God was capable of doing things much larger than my expectations. That is no new revelation intellectually, but it was practically. God was going to accomplish His plan with or without me.

Here is my desire: I don’t want to be found lacking in faith again. When God lays it on my heart to pray for something, I intend to fill my words with more faith. I don’t think that they have been hollow words, but thank God, they will have more faith in them from now on.

Challenge: My friend, if you are facing something that might seem too big for you and even too big for God. Don’t give up! If it feels like Pharaoh’s army is behind you and the Red Sea is in front of you, don’t forget that the Lord is with you.

May God keep you and bless you and turn His face toward you.
