“God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.” (John Piper)

In light of the recent storms, intense heat, and fires that overwhelmed the U.S. in the past few weeks, I can’t help but think that in all of this chaos, God is still sovereign and in control.  He will still receive glory, honor, and praise because He is God and His glory is a manifestation of His holiness. It is sometimes difficult to separate our personal agendas, frustrations and inconveniences from what is most important; the recognition of God’s glory. When we become captivated by God’s holiness and we are completely satisfied in Him, His glory is revealed through us – His bride.

As our family prepares for the mission field before us in Zimbabwe, it is essential that we remain satisfied in God by clinging to the feet of Jesus so that the glory of God will be revealed. Our prayer as a family is that no matter what happens between now and the time we board the plane to Zimbabwe, God receives all the glory. When we face trials of many kinds, when we are spiritually assaulted by our enemy, when those close to us turn away, our prayer as a family is that God receives all glory because it is God who has sustained us. It is God who has embraced us and covered us with His loving mercy. It is God who is our refuge. It is God who continues to provide in ways unimaginable. It is God who provides the peace that passes all understanding. It is God who is the giver of life itself. Glory to God!!

How exciting it is to be held in the palm of the almighty as we serve Him.
