The Father really knows how to give good gifts to His children, and "every good and perfect gift is from above, comming down from the Father of heavenly light, who does not change like shifting shadow" (James 1:17)! God has been giving me words of encouragement to persevere and run the race with him as I prepare for the journey to Papua New Guinea. He shows me that in him we can overcome and be victorious through Hebrew 12:1-3, which stated, "let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of God. Consider him who endured such opposition form sinners, so that you wil not grow weary and lose heart." Galatians 6:9 reminds me that there is the eternal reward in Him, so "let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
God uses 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 to tell me to "rejoice alsways, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." He also reminds me of his faithfulness with 1 Thessalonians 5:24, "the one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it." Please pray that I keep trusting in him, allow his will to be done, and find joy in knowing the Father who is faithful, along with prayer requests from previous posts.
