"Ministering in everyday opportunities that surround us does not mean that we select our own surroundings it means being God's very special choice to be available for use in any of the seemingly random and haphazard surroundings which He has engineered for us."
MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST
We are getting settled in our new home in Chile and our new surroundings. Our team members, The Wolf Pack, have worked so hard getting our house ready and making us feel part of the family. We've seen and done more this past year than can be stated in this writing. However, greater then all seen and done would be the reality that EVERY promise in the Word is Yes in Him (2 Corn. 1:20). Every day He has fed us with fresh manna-His Living Word-to strengthen us spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally. This "manna" is always exactly what we need for the day! He has been a God of encouragement and perseverance. (Romans 15:5) His Spirit is alive and powerful within us, enabling us to do above and beyond our level of imagining. We have learned to trust, obey and be disciplined with the "tough" love of the Father that commands that we "love Him with all our heart, soul, and mind" (Matthew 22:37). We are continually learning to "ask so that we can receive, seek so that we can know and knock so that the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:7) He has faithfully met absolutely every need and has given us so many unexpected delights along the way! Had we not obeyed the command to "leave all and follow Him", we would be on the "outside looking in" and oh, what we would have forfeited. He has become our All in all.
