Constant Calling On My Life
Lately i haven't wanted to read the gospels. For some stupid reason i have thought that I always turn to the stories that i've read over and over again...its a horrible thought i know. The other day i decided to randomly turn to a gospel and read whatever i put my eyes on. After what God has revealed to me this summer, i am sure that he directs me to certain verses and puts a passion on my heart when i read them. I turned to the chapter in Mark when Jesus is SENDING HIS TWELVE DISCIPLES OUT (Just like me)! I love it when verses just come together and I can hear God literally speaking to me through them. Mark 6:7-10 "Calling the Twelve to him, He sent them out two by two and gave them authority over evil spirits. These were his instructions: 'Take nothing for the journey except a staff--no bread, no bag, no maney in your belts. Wear sandals but not an extra tunic. Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, SHAKE OFF THE DUST OFF YOUR FEET WHEN YOU LEAVE, AS A TESTIMONY AGAINST THEM!'" Its incredible to know that He directed me to this verse closer to when i leave because i don't think i would have taken it the same way earlier this summer. I was just terrified of going, so he gave me words of comfort, and this to me is now preparing me and warning me for the hard times that might come my way...BUT God is by my side, He's got my back, and i have nothing to fear if i put my trust in him. Certainly, i'm not going to be careless in any way when i arrive, but God knows what i can handle and what i can't! Like i said before, bring it on africa:) I am as ready as i'm gonna be.
