We're studying Genesis now and its amazing to see God's faithfulness to people despite their unbelief. I've had a pretty sweet opportunity to see God's faithfulness this week with the Awaken tickets we need for the Gathering in September. We have prayed about it and felt God said we're suppose to go and really get involved which is exciting! As a group we've also prayed and felt God say that money shouldn't be an issue, if he says you're going then he'll make a way. It's really easy to say you trust in God's faithfulness when things are easy, but when you look online and tickets are up past 1,800USD, money becomes an issue. I was really struggling with the idea of spending so much money when we're living off of support right now. The Awaken group meets two times a week to pray and people kept getting reminded what God said about not letting money be an issue. Well we've talked to one of our translators to look up prices on some Chinese websites and she found some for under 900USD! PRAISE THE LORD! Seriously, half the price, God is so good. He really challenged me in my lack of faith and was asking me how can I trust him with my whole future if I can't trust him for a few thousand dollars and one event? What a good question!
God, forgive me for my unbelief. You are so big! In the midst of writing timeless truths about God's faithfulness he was challening me if I believed they were true- I fell short. But another timeless truth came in play- God's faithfulness isn't dependent on us, he is faithful because... he is, its part of his character.
God, thank you for your faithfulness and for building my faith in the small things so that my faith can stand the big things.
