To My Tireless Prayer Warriors,
It is such an encouragement, constantly receiving emails, facebook messages and phone calls from folks around the globe reminding my family and I that you are with us and not "have been" with us. In the midst of all the motivational and encouraging emails and letters there are the occasional discouraging, honest confessions of missing out on God (actually I get more with conversations). This is not because these folks are not normal, in fact they are very normal, just like most people.
To be honest we meet a few people who try very hard to not show discouragement (I do too some times when, in a brief moment, my eyes and my mind is on something else other than the Lord) or despair but can't help it for the lack of peace and assurance. Therefore many times when we do share our grievances we try to stay on top of our circumstances and frustration and saying "I am pressing on". Usually the tone of "pressing on" sounds a little more low down than upbeat. I guess this is where my time of listening to others help me look to myself where I am each and every moment. We know what Heb 12:1-2 tells us that while we are running this race of life we are to fix our eyes on Jesus and not on our discouragement and circumstances.
I WANT TO STAY ON TOP!! It's a great feeling!!! And I know I can do that when I am standing on solid rock and not on sinking sand. Praise God that from London to the ends of the earth or from Singapore to the uttermost parts of the world. It is the same because Jesus is always there. I am encouraged. I am glad that the Lord has so graciously given me the privilege of sharing this from weekend to weekend and from country to country to be an instrument to draw all men unto Him. Like the Apostle I want to continue to say (with God's enabling grace), "We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man so that we may present every man complete in Christ". For this purpose also I labour, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me (Col 1:28, 29) And yes, it is His power, by His Spirit and not our own strength and wisdom. Praise be to God indeed! I am helplessly giving myself to abide in Him on a moment to moment basis as He give grace to do so. I am learning to use my God given time to write to more people, pray for them and with them as we are all connected in that one Spirit to fulfil that one purpose which the Father has laid on us all.
Our next three months schedule will require lots of grace, strength and wisdom from the Lord. Thank you for standing with us you who are our arms, leg and body. The Lord is still the head!! Hope to see many of you in the next three months. Do let us know how we can bless you if you know we are coming your way. One bonus that I am thankful for is not just the friends that we have but the Lord's goodness in giving us also great food along the way. Now that my taste buds are returning I am going to minister to my flesh a little more too. It's wonderful!!
SO PRESS ON WITH ME, and keep praising the Lord as long as we have our being and as long as the Lord grant us breath. (Psalm 146:1-2) Enjoy the Lord and you will enjoy Life. Amen.
In His Grace
