There is a song by Chris Tomlin that leads into this story. “How great is our God, sing with me , How great is our God, and all will see, How great, how great is our God” I don’t know how to title this saga of God’s goodness! I do know that it will take at least two posts to tell the story to the glory of God. Stephanie and I have been feeling rather unfulfilled lately, now that the bulk of the infrastructure and clinic start-up work is accomplished. So as we drove to church this Sunday (1 hr. 45 min.) we were talking and challenging each other about moving outside the compound more than we already are. Getting outside the gate. When we arrived at church a friend said he had a word from God for us. The overall message was wonderful and spot on but one of the verses was Isaiah 62:10. “Walk out of the gates. Get going! Get the road ready for the people. Build the highway. Get at it! Clear the debris, hoist high a flag, a signal to all peoples!” (The Message) Could God have been any more clear?! Or Timely. We have been asking for wisdom and direction for the next step. God loves that!! How faithful He is to lead and let us know what He has in store for us. “If you don’t know what you’re doing,(lacks wisdom) pray to the Father. He loves to help. You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought.,,,.” (James 1:5–6, The Message) We know that God is not doing this type of thing just for us, and wants to do it for all His children. The second part of this God story is even more exciting. Tomorrow we’ll tell you what happened when we walked out the gate.
