Always There

I woke up one morning with a good feeling. 

I was simply thinking of all the ways that God has been there for me in my life. 

I was changing from a job that paid well to a new job where my income was much more uncertain. But instead of worrying, I felt a sense of confidence and peace.

It reminded me of the story of Abram and his obedience to the Lord. God told Abram to go to a new land that he would show him. I can’t assume that Abram never wavered or doubted, but he trusted and followed God’s instructions. And God was faithful and gave Abram and his descendants a new home.

God asks us to believe, to be obedient and to trust that he will always be there for us. When we face changes and times of uncertainty, we can be encouraged by the story of Abram. 

When we have faith and act in obedience, God will see us through. He will never fail us.

Prayer: Dear heavenly Father, thank you for always providing for us. Even when we don’t understand, help us to be obedient to your will and your way. Amen

Fantastic! I’m so thrilled by God’s goodness that He has brought about such a wonderful way of communicating His love and Gospel to Deaf people. I’m convinced God will use it to His glory and that it will be an effective means of nurturing Deaf Christians for whom church and the Bible is often difficult. You can be assured of my prayers in asking our Father to use these means to reach Deaf people who would never dream of entering a church building. KS
