Faith


The Divine is stepping in and providing supernaturally for a women's conference that our ministry hosted last fall. The money is due tomorrow...a total of $2110.50. God has provided $1510 of that so far! We have $600 more to go. I wish I could say that I have sat in complete peace letting His yoke carry this burden; but alas, I have picked up the yoke and carried the burden too.

Last week when the money was due, I cried for awhile feeling so alone. I could hear the Spirit whispering to me that I wasn't alone. He was there. The Body was there. I chose to let Him carry this burden and gave it over to Him. It has been difficult, but I know that my faith is stronger for letting God Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth carry my little monetary burden.
I have compared this week to the battle at Jericho. It wasn't only Joshua out there walking around that wall, it was the whole army! They walked united in faith and purpose, believing that God would do what He said He would do. They walked in silence for 6 days. Then on the seventh, the shofar was blown, the army gave a shout, and the walls came down supernaturally.

For 6 days we have faithfully been marching around this debt and tomorrow the shofar will blow, we will give a shout, and the walls will crumble and we will see His faithfulness once again. Praise God!
