Even in ghana, this early morning time is so precious to me. God reveals himself to me in the new day as the birds begin their songs and the earth comes alive. Here in Ghana the sun doesn't shine until 6-ish, unless it is the rainy season and the sun stays behind the clouds.
God has been faithful throughout this mission trip. He is answering prayers and revealing Himself to me daily. I have found our daily devotion time to be both challenging and rewarding. It is such a blessing to talk about what being a Christian is all about...What does God expect from us.....How does He work....What about fear....and so much more. We are using John Piper's "Pierced by the Word" I have found the author to be very insightful and would encourage you to read it. It is a 31 day devotional meant to pierce the heart of the reader with the Word of God that he or she may become the very embodiment of that Word. How else are others to see Jesus in us. If we are filled with, satisfied in, and walking in His Word others will know that He is God to His glory. As God's Word pierces deep into our souls it changes us into who we should be.
The very first study was about the love of God and how His love is demonstrated in every circumstance....not just the good ones. This is the love that is in us in Christ Jesus...the Love of God. Piper say's ""Love is doing whatever you need to do to help people see and savor the glory of God in Christ Forever and ever. Love keeps God central. Because the soul was made for God." That is just a taste of what God has been revealing to me.
and every day, He is faithful to give me some challenge to use what He has shown me that day.
My prayer for you my friends is that you will come to this knowledge of God through His Son Jesus Christ.
