But I have no church platform any longer.
And I need an outlet.
"This is what the Lord says: Make this valley full of ditches. For this is what the Lord says: You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this valley will be filled with water, and you, your cattle and your other animals will drink. This is an easy thing in the eyes of the Lord." ~ 2 Kings 3:16-18
I have never seen God move mightily without first requiring me to act in faith.
Nor has he ever given me proof that he would deliver me.
But I have dug the valley full of ditches.
My back is sore. My tongue is parched. The end of my well-being is in view.
But I praise God his deliverance. For the rain-fall of mercy and provision that is coming.
For it is an easy thing for God to do.
You are preaching to me! I am not sure if I would call it preaching or simply being transparent...or both. But, it spoke to me and encouraged me. I'm praying...for both of us.

While you may not have a church pulpit as a platform, you've got a global world wide platform right here on your blog! eh?

Good thoughts. I've been fighting myself in this same vein lately. May you be certain of what you do not see... We are surrounded by an awesome crowd that can attest to the value of faithful perseverance.
