God Supplies

I didn't receive my VOM supplies for the CFC luncheon on time.  I did have some things, but I didn't feel I had enough and was a little concerned.

That day on my In Touch calendar it said:

God never sets up a situation or creates a circumstance without also building in the full provision, expressions, or potential for success in that situation or circumstance.  God creates situations so that we might trust Him...Any lack in our lives is an opportunity for us to grow in our relationship with God, and an opportunity for us to grown in our abilities and in our faith so that we can be even more effective servants of God and witnesses to God's love and grace. 

Thankfully, God already had it all planned out.  Another Area Rep, Robert came through with all His extra supplies and even manned the VOM table with me too!!  Thank You Lord for once again showing Your faithfulness and thank you Robert for coming through and sharing all great stuff you had, especially the table banner, ( I must get one of those) !!!  It was awesome to see our table filled with materials for people to take so the story of our brothers and sisters who suffer so much for their Christian witness could be told.  

I pray Lord, that their stories would be heard.  I pray that hearts would be moved to support them.  Wrap them in Your arms today.  I pray especially for Pastor Saeed, who has spent exactly one year today imprisoned for being Your child.  Lord continue to strengthen and use Him.  I do pray that He would come home to his family.  But I also pray that until that time he would shine your light in the darkest of places.  Encourage him and all our brothers and sisters who suffer for Your names sake.  And please open the eyes of their persecutors Lord, that they may come to know the one true living God and Savior.  In Jesus most precious and holy name, AMEN
