Faithful Till The End

-
Hab 2:3-4
For still the vision awaits its appointed time;  it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it;  it will surely come; it will not delay. “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him, but the righteous shall live by his faith. 


As I stumbled upon this verse the other day driving to California from Montana I had great thankfulness in my heart. I honestly get chocked up thinking about where the Lord has taken me in the last year. The Lord gave me a vision over two years ago after surrendering my life to Him. I was standing on a beach in Mexico and the Lord spoke to me to give a year to him and go to Bible College. This year was going to be used for ministry. That day I would never have thought that I would be now traveling to California again but equipped for ministry. The Lord has given me yet another year committed to Him. I waited for that appointed time and now the Lord’s promises are being fulfilled. I could not have come into ministry that day standing on the beach but it needed discipleship, instruction, reproof, correction, and pouring into. God’s timing has been so evident in my life. I honestly haven’t understood it until recently. The Lord has given me promises in the past year that I am waiting for until that appointed time. The Lord does not lie. I have no need to doubt. But recently I have found myself doubting. Because I think I can do it on my own but I forget that the Lord is in control. I take the reins like a self righteous person and end up having fears and anxieties. But the righteous shall live by faith. As I have been driving through Montana, Idaho, Utah, and now California I can see how I have been living by faith and I am extremely thankful for what He is doing in my life. He has taken me all over the world this year and is continuing to fulfill His promises. God will be faithful to the end and I need to do the same. If His promises seem slow I still need to wait for it for His promises are true. I need to humbly wait for it. I need to keep asking the Lord to kill my pride in this process of waiting. It is a hard prayer but I constantly have to pray for patience and humility. The truth is that God has been faithful to me my whole life as I see how my life has been protected by Him and I need to live by that truth that He is holding my hand in every step of the way. God is faithful and will be faithful till the end. 
Application: I am going to ask the Lord to help me remain faithful in the small things which include my responsibilities.

2 Corinthians 1:4–6

Who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too.  Last week ended with great hope. I had great hope that this week would be so much better since being more comfortable in the classroom. But starting the week off I had some conflicts. I got sick. I have amebas. I didn’t find out until today. I had to stay home from school for two days which was really hard for me. It was humbling watching someone else take my position and learn so much. It’s not an easy job but it’s rewarding. It was rewarding getting out of the car and seeing my kids run at me yelling “teacher” and giving me giant hugs. Staying home today was a challenge just because I don’t like to sit around resting. I like doing tasks and getting them done. But the Lord gave me this section of scripture a

If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness. As Christians we are to boast in the things that we are weak in. Because the things that we are weak in, Christ makes us strong. And this weak I am proclaiming how faithful the Lord has been. This pass weak I have been sick which makes me miss home. I miss the comforts. And I’ve been trying to hide it. I don’t like going up to someone and telling them my problems. I like to bottle things up inside which isn’t good. But that weakness was seen by a leader and I was approached. I was asked how I was doing. And I couldn’t lie. I said what was on my mind and woke up the next day praying Psalm 17:6-7. I had a feeling it was going to be a hard day so I prayed that the Lord would show is steadfast love and answer my call. After I had gotten all my work at school done I began to think about home again as I walked to the church’s cafe. As I was sitting there Betty asked if anyone wanted to help a prayer child read a  letter

psalm 81:16

It is very interesting because I am reading through the Bible in a year thematically as I came across this verse. I am reading through Number and Psalms right now. It is so interesting how both can correlate so well. The psalmist writes how the Lord brought the children of Israel through so much but they still did not walk in His ways. I have been challenged this week to walk in the Lord’s ways. That if I open my mouth, He will fill it. I’ve learned this week that if I need guidance from the Lord it requires faith. Ive needed faith to ask the Lord for strength as I work with kids each day. In this verse rock is looked at as a difficulty. And the Lord always gives us something sweet from a hard time or a rock we have to jump over. This week has been tough just like last. It was tiring being in class with kids who don’t listen or respect me. But there is honey that comes from the rock. A little boy in my class, Shadrack, is friends with Joel and he came to our home yesterday. This boy
