TRESTING

It feels like we are within reach now!

While we have had to make some adjustments to to our monthly support goal, God has been incredibly gracious in getting us back up to 70% (because of the necessary adjustments, our level had dropped back to 67%).

With 3 months left as family pastor at Eden, there is a sense of urgency setting in as we pursue that last 30%. The awesome thing about having a sovereign God is that while there is a sense of urgency, there is no reason for a sense of anxiety! We know we can trust and rest in the fact that He has everything under His loving control.

That actually has been part of the challenge for me. I easily can say that I am trusting in His sovereign and loving purpose, but am I resting in it? And if I am not resting in it, am I really trusting it? I guess you can call it "tresting"-- trusting and resting in Him. You can't really have one without the other when it comes to God.

Psalm 91:2,4 says,

"I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”

He will cover you with his feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge..."

Covering you with His feathers is the image of a mother hen gathering her chicks to her and them seeking refuge under her wings. It was a place of protection and rest. The idea of trusting and resting going together is something we actually see all through Scripture.

So the real test for our family as we enter these final months is, "Are we tresting in God." We trust that He will provide the monthly support we need. In the meantime, we need to rest in the fact that He is and always has been Jehovah-Jireh. Please be praying that God will find our family "tresting" in Him.
