My friends Jerry and Julia are departing on Friday for El Salvador to seek a treatment for the cancer which has attacked her over and over and over.
They received an email from a Pastor friend in Uganda that they emailed on to me. I found the words particularly encouraging to me too. I am facing a large struggle myself and see that I should have a new attitude. Both about Julia's treatment and my own struggle with my partners.
Peter in Uganda wrote:
When a farmer prays and expects rain
He goes out and tills his field.
We expect our faithful God to deliver on
His promises, . . . . so prepare for that.
Book the 'champagne and fine wine',
start preparing the guest list,
take a look at the new clothes,
clean up the house, prepare the lawn arrangements,
make sure the garden is in order,
check out prices for the guest list,
work on the thanksgiving speech....
Faith is being certain, sure that God has heard,
God will keep, God will not fail.
There are no ' mights' in faith...only 'wills'.
