God knows...

^NIV Psalm 33:11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

God knows what is going on, we don’t have to be concern about what the future holds because when we are faithful to his glory and his plan for our lives then our future will be bright because of him. We have the assurance that the Lord has a plan for each of us and wants us to succeed. He blessed Abraham with a child, with a nation and he wants to bless us with a promise that last for all generations. We are part of that promise that God made with Abraham. We are the descendents that are charged to go out and be a blessing to others. I’m excited to be a blessing to others. I want others to succeed. I want others to have prosperity because I think that is only enhances their self worth and gives them confidence to carry on through life. Christ is the only one who can instill a sense of hope in people and it is our pleasure to introduce and show the love of Christ to a hurting world, to a broken people, to a lost society that quite frankly has taken for granted the blessings that have come from the Lord. The Lord is willing and able to give blessings and wants to all his children to know the loving grace and majesty of the Father.

The team seems to be coming together every day now. I can see the love of Christ is each and every one of my teammates. They are all very enthusiastic of what the Lord is doing in their lives and wants to share that with each other. They are recognizing the gifts and talents that God has placed in their lives and they are willing and encouraged to draw on those gifts to glorify the Lord in everything they do. I am in awe at the way the Lord is faithful as to place people in my life to encourage me and to challenge me to be better than I am. I firmly believe that the Lord is working in each of our lives encouraging us and challenging us to be a blessing to each other. Jonathan said yesterday that the honeymoon time with your staff will soon be over and that once we are with each other for entire weeks at a time we will need to draw on the strength of the Lord to see the love Christ brings to each of us through each of us. God wants us to succeed, he wants the summer to succeed but most of all he wants to be a blessing to us for always. I have confidence that when we draw on the strength of the Lord he will not fail us and will lift us up to a higher plain.
