I'll be leaving for China in a week - and it finally hit me that it might be impossible to raise enough funds to cover my m-ssion trip. Yesterday, I was scared, worried, upset, and angry at myself for my circumstances that kept me from preparing ahead. But I know it's God when a certain peace falls over me, reminding me that God is faithful through all circumstances. As I was reading Jeremiah today, I took some time to consider the promises that were currently being fulfilled and the ones that have been recently fulfilled. I don't think I take enough time to reflect on my prayers and see how they were answered, but whenever I do, it really magnifies God's glory and his hand moving in my life.
In Jeremiah 32, Jeremiah buys a piece of land while he's in prison - and not just any land, but a place where the Babylonians were camping out - when it was the last thing people expected him to do. But to him, it was completely rational - God promised him that it will be of use in the future. Interesting enough, I feel that I'm at a similar point, but my mistake was that I relied too heavily on God carrying the promise out when I didn't do my part in "buying the land". So, I'm willing to place all my chips on him, because honestly, it's not even a gamble because God will never lose a bet or disregards a promise. I don't know what going to happen next, but one thing for sure - going to Chiina is another promise that is currently being fulfilled.
