Three Days and Counting...Plus Colds

 "I know that You can do all things,
And that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted." - Job 42:2

Today this is one of my verses. One of those verses that I am going to cling to in faith.

You see, we leave for Taiwan in three days (possibly two if you count like some people...). This is a fulfillment of one of my life long dreams and the beginning of what God is calling me to do in Asia. However, this morning I woke up with a very sore throat; red swollen and all.

I don't know if you understand how frustrating that can be when you have been non-stop sick for two years, and this is the first time that the doctors have said to 'go ahead' into Asia.

That said, God is so much more faithful than my finite mind can comprehend. Look at these verses that He gave to his trembling child this morning:

"The Lord will accomplish what concerns me;
Your lovingkindness, O Lord is everlasting;
Do not forsake the works for Your hands." - Psalm 138:8

"I will go before you and make the rough places smooth;
I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars...
So that you may know that it is I,
The Lord, the God is Israel, who calls you by name." - Isaiah 45:2, 4

"Heal me, O Lord and I will be healed;
Save me and I will be saved,
For You are my praise." - Jeremiah 14:14

Is He not good? Talk about a personal relationship with His children, He knew just what my weary heart needed.

I am going to trust in the Lord today and sing His praise. Oh yes, and use our cold herbs quite liberally.

Take time this chilly morning, to sip a cup of warm tea and bask in the grace and lovingkindness of the Lord. He wants to speak personally to you too.

- 3 days and counting!!! (I don't think that you could be as excited as I am, but you could try.)
