I read this link about "God of This City" after Miss Jennifer commented on my last post. I expected a cool story, but this is more than just a cool story! It amazes me how God moves and works and so often we don't even know that He's moving and working!! It's crazy to think of how much I do see Him change and the hard hearts that He can melt. I've seen Him turn people around that I had begun to lose hope for--people that I had prayed about for year, kids whose lives were going to be difficult for them if they professed Christ. He has done so much right before my eyes to show me His greatness and His ability to change the hearts of people. But I know there's so much more that He has done and is doing that I don't know about. He has plans for greatness and for amazing change. He knows what is to come in my life and how much longer my life will be. He knows what struggles lie ahead of me. He knows where I will fail and where I will fall on my face and not know what to do apart from simply asking for His guidance. He knows my whole entire life and the lives of everyone else on this earth and He has a unique plan for each individual that is perfect in every way for His glory!! How incredible is that?! And what is even more incredible to me is that I feel like He has allowed me to see so much!! He has shown me so many different situations where His gospel has changed people and even some that I was privileged to be the deliverer of the gospel and He allowed me to be encouraged by seeing the fruit of my labor! And how much more of that is He doing behind the scenes that I have never and will never see! It's just crazy to think about God being all knowing and all wise! And I'm not sure why that's what I got out of reading this story, but it just made me think of how He has a plan for everything and even though these guys may not ever see how they impacted even one person's life on this trip they could have been God's tool to change one person who may grow up to proclaim the gospel to His country and lead many others to Christ! We just never know how God may use us! All we know is that we have been told to go and preach the gospel and if we are obedient He will use that for His glory in whatever way He pleases!! So go read this!! :)
