We are Moses

God is so good to give us examples of ourselves in Scripture. Men and women of the past who had the same struggles we do. Listen to the conversation between Moses and God:

"Here I am among six hundred thousand men on foot, and you say, 'I will give them meat to eat for a whole month! Would they have enough if flocks and herds were slaughtered for them? Would they have enough if all the fish in the sea were caught for them?'"
The Lord answered Moses, "Is the Lord's arm too short? " Numbers 11:21-23

Can't you just hear the tone in Moses' voice as he reasoned against the probability of provision for such a vast group of men? Impossible! Have you ever been there? I have! When this group began contemplating a trip to Kenya and the expenses involved, the economic situation, the church budget, etc., we were not sure it was the best thing to do. Then the decision was made, we acknowledged it was a step of faith, and many of us were still fearful....what if....... Can you hear God's reply.....is his arm too short for this? I think not! I think God wants us to get to the point where we realize that it is HE WHO PROVIDES.......not US! His arm is NOT short....He can and does go beyond human impossibility! That is something we learn from the Kenyans....their faith in God's provision goes beyond what most of us realize. They believe and acknowledge that all comes from their heavenly Father, because they don't have the means to do things on their own like many of us. God continues to get us ever closer to our financial goal for the trip and for medicines needed. Praise Him with us for His faithfulness.

Father, may we each grow in our faith and dependence on you. Forgive us for the lack of faith that we do have. Thank you for your continued faithfulness and provision. Thank you for preparing us for weeks of ministry. We know you are with us, and we love you and delight in the opportunity to serve you.
