Just be Faithful

"Our Lord calls to no special work: He calls to Himself." 

-Oswald Chambers

As we’ve journeyed the road of fundraising, packing, organizing, coordinating logistics & moving we’ve been encouraged by the challenge to offer our work, resources, time & finances back to God as offerings to Him and His glory. The temptation is real to gear up for a big moment that will somehow give us a sense accomplishment or some measure of “success.” Questions such as, what if our results are not enough or visible in the immediate future? How will we know if this was the step we were supposed to take? 

We’ve been reminded that neither the immediate results nor  the long-term impact are up to us. We can rest in God’s plan and work as we step out and “just be faithful.” We recognize there will be challenges, questions and unexpected turns, but we are committed to being obedient to the work He calls us to each day. We have no doubt that the work He will do will be anything less than amazing. 

Results and success are about us; we want to be about Him. His faithfulness to us has been evident. The mountains He’s already moved propel us on this journey. His goodness to us has been tangible.  May we strive to look past our measure of success or failure. But instead, focus on being faithful to the One who promises to fulfill His purposes; living with a heart of gratitude that He allows us to be a part of His plan.  

We know that as we step out into something so much bigger than ourselves that our strength and abilities will fall short. Only by His provision, grace and wisdom can accomplish the tasks He puts before us. 

Through the process, we pray that He will receive all of the glory!
