For some time God has been dealing with my heart about writing every day and I have put if off for too long. I decided that I would make use of the internet and it is my prayer that this daily sharing will increase your faith as well.
This morning as I was praying, a phrase from the scripture came to my mind; "stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance". It is from the book of II Peter chapter 3 verse 1. This made me begin to think about memories. All of have memories, some good and some bad. The negative memories will drag us down if we focus on them too much. But if we begin to focus on what God has done for us then our memories can help increase our faith to believe for the now and for the future.
It may seem either very bold or very foolish to title this blog "Guatemala for Jesus" but when I asked the Lord what to call this blog that is what He gave me. Some time ago when I was praying about some things that were troubling me the Lord spoke specifically and said "you need to learn to trust that when I say I will do something, I will do it." As many of you know, God has called my wife and I to the mission field. It seems that in light of certain situations in our lives it would be more wise to accept the fact that we can not go. But when I begin to contemplate taking another road, Faith kicks in and says "what God promised, He is able also to perform".
I didn't start this journey almost two years ago now to stop when the battle gets tough. The same God who called me knew the obstacles that we would face along the way and I believe that he has already made provision. So why is this blog called Guatemala for Jesus? Because the Lord called me to Guatemala and like the Apostle Paul I say "I must preach the gospel at Rome (Guatemala) also.
I am ready to do the work of the King, both where I am now and some day In Guatemala.
Guatemala for Jesus!
