Walking without my partner has been difficult, and I am glad it will probably be only a temporary state. She flies into Detroit in a week and a half, and I find myself counting the days and hours. God has been kind to me, allowing the work for my mother-in-law to progress with little stress thus far in the seeming answer to prayers of my dear friends, and my wonderful bride. We'll see how it continues as I await the delivery of the rest of the materials for the retaining walls.
The walk of faith is just just that, a walk of faith! Each day has it's unknowns, unpredictabilities, and uncomfortabilities. All the while, The One who knows need not predict or find Himself uncomfortable because He is...GOD! It isn't that He hasn't been uncomfortable, He sacrificed His comfort for our redemption as the only god ever doing such, demonstrating to us that He alone is GOD!
There is great comfort in the walk of faith, knowing that He knows, and that the unknown, unpredictable and uncomfort (okay, discomfort) is only new to me and a surprise to me. There is great comfort in knowing that God is God and learning to trust His heart, His leading, His care for each of us, His children! As long as He continues to give me breath and life, my job is only to walk in faith and obedience to His call, His leading, doing His work, for His glory!
There is little else for me to do, for I cannot save myself, or become righteous unless Jesus works it within me. Nothing I can do, nothing I need do but place my life, each day, each moment in His hands. Life is a gift of His grace, His power. If we truly get this, then complete transformation is on its way within us. He will give us answers to the unknown, strength and wisdom to go through the unpredictable, and the strength to endure the discomfort of life; the walk of faith. It is our walk of faith, but He knows it all, all the way to it's end and to our eternal future. May He lead each of us to deeper trust and life with Him!
