Divine Interruption

In the post I wrote a few days ago about worrying and my relationship with Christ I mentioned that if I'm not careful and prayerful, my mind makes a huge leap from a little worry to the worst possible senario. The cost of our adoption is low especially compared to adoption from most other countries and even the US. I know the Amani orphanage has worked hard to make sure the total adoption expenses stay as low as possible and I am very, very appreciative. I also know this isn't the case in most countries and it is such a shame. However, many organizations offer financial help and God will provide you with resources if that is the desire of your heart. I want to be honest about my relationship with Christ and how it is a real living thing and how God keeps telling me to stop listening to myself and to listen to Him. He has entrusted us with this precious child and He is up to the task of equipping and providing us with what we need. He is El Shaddai (All Sufficient). But know you can rest assured if you are in the process of stepping out in faith in some area of your life, fear and doubt are bound to come your way and I want to be an encouragement to you by being honest in my journey.

I read this today:

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong, (2 Corinthians 12:9-10, NKJV).

The words of 19th century author Hannah Whitall Smith sum it up well: “If God is what He would seem to be from his revealings; if He is indeed the “God of all comfort” (2 Cor.1:3); if He is our Shepherd; If He is really and truly our Father; if, in short, all the many aspects He has told us of His character and His ways are actually true, then we must come to the positive conviction that He is, in himself alone, enough for all our needs and that we may safely rest in Him absolutely and forever.”

All-Sufficient God, truly You are all that I need for every need. Let me rest each day in that knowledge.
