Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. Has the Lord redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has redeemed you from your enemies. For he has gathered the exiles from many lands, from east and west, from north and south.
Some wandered in the
wilderness, lost and homeless. Hungry and thirsty, they nearly died. “Lord,
help!” they cried in their trouble, and he rescued them from their distress.
He led them straight to
safety, to a city where they could live. Let them
praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for
them. For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. (Psalm
107:1-9, New Living Translation)
Monday night, I returned from my sixth trip to Kenya.
I’m sorry that this is my first blog post, but I am still decompressing. Every
time I come back home, it seems to take me longer to get over the jetlag, catch
up on laundry, and get my head back on straight.
As with every trip, there were many highs and lows. I’m
not going to lie – this was one of the more stressful ones. Lots of long stories,
and I’ll share most of them here soon.
But today’s takeaway is that no matter what we are
struggling with, God is only a prayer away. If we take our every worry and
stress to Him in prayer, He will answer us. Maybe the answer isn’t always the
one we want to hear, but we can rest in the peace that our Lord and Savior
knows more than we do and the answer is the right one for us.
Let me praise the Lord
for His great love and for the wonderful things He has done for me.
