Thankyou for Emmanuel

Such is the ending of another great journey. One that I am very grateful for Lord. I have seen so much of You in the world, in people and in me. Lord you believe in us with such faith and you love us with such intensity. As I was overlooking the sunset at Darwin, I realise that we must each ask ourselves 2 questions if we want to change.

1. Do you seek God's face in every decision? (I ask myself "Do I want to accept the risks and challenges for the sake of knowing my Lord more?"
2. Do you believe He will show up to save the day?

The faith that saves and the faith that pleases. I was listening to that song "You'll come" and the words rang deep in my soul.

As surely as the sun will rise You'll come to us
As certain as Your word endures

And I recall once again His law, His character in my heart once more.
God is a God who loves to save. He is like a Prince who saves the princess from the dragon just in the nick of time. He is mighty to save. He WANTS to come through for us in every circumstance.

Its just up to us whether we will wait for Him to come (and waiting does not mean distracting yourself with another god until He "arrives"), or whether we will choose another "god" to save us from our peril.

Yes and Amen God!! Yes and Amen.
