God is faithful. That is a wonderful reality that I am learning to appreciate more and more. I can count on Him. He doesn't shirk or swerve from fulfilling His job - and He gives His all to do it. God calls us to be that way, too. We are limited and sometimes that seems like reason enough not to try. After all, what can I do with 30 minutes, $10, or an extra coat in my closet? They might not be much compared to the needs around me - but am I faithful with that little? Have I committed each minute, each dollar, each personal belonging to God's service? "He that is faithful in that which is least," the Master said, "is faithful also in much." (Luke 16:10)
The end of this week finds the building project in Makindu gaining altitude. "The mason up there is truly under God's care," Lawrence writes. He praises God that one end of the structure is up to roofing level, at least.
His son, Alvin (center), shows one of their visitors around.
Using the resources and time committed to them, the vision for the Bible Center is slowly becoming a visible reality. "We have now run out of funds, though some of the building material is
still there," the brother says. When the Lord provides, the work will go on - patiently, faithfully toward the goal. Meanwhile, the maize and peas are growing well, praise the Lord!
Am I determined to be faithful, even if it doesn't seem to make much of a difference? Maybe another brick won't complete the wall, but it is needed. If we only have one talent, it is not meant to be buried and hoarded selfishly. It was entrusted us for a purpose. (Matthew 25:14-30) May we live to reflect and rejoice in God's faithfulness!
