Just last week, while going on my daily walk I looked up to the sky and pleaded with the Lord, "God, you need to remind me just how big you really are." We had been going through a stressful time and our problems were bigger than we could handle. But God is bigger still.
I was reminded of Job, how he consistently called on the Lord, pleading for mercy and understanding. Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm.
"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?"
In essence, the Lord was reminding Job that if he is big enough to create the universe and all that is in it, he is big enough to trust even when Job didn't understand.
Today we are fasting and praying for Paul and Dulcie Bushhorn and their family. The Bushhorns are the Missionary Associates at New Vision City of Refuge in Christiana, Jamaica. Unfortunately, they have been stranded in Ohio waiting for their work permits to go through. They are anxious to return to Jamaica to resume their responsibilities as interim directors while we are itinerating.
This hold-up affects everyone, especially the kids and staff at the City of Refuge in Christiana. It has been a tumultuous summer; full of changes and challenges. However, the Lord is bigger than all of this and we will trust him no matter what.
