Disappointment On The Journey




It was Monday night and after supper, Ruth and I read together that day’s devotional reading from Oswald Chambers “My Utmost For His Highest” which was based on Matthew 8:26, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?”  Together Ruth and I took time to share some things that we fear and then to pray about them together and renew our confidence in God.  A few hours later we received an e-mail with jarring news. A few months ago a related email had made us jump for joy as we read that we would receive a significant grant to go toward the Biblical values project in Uganda. (It was especially amazing because we had not expected it.) It seemed that God had provided for this need and we had no reason to “worry” about it! But…this email informed us there had been a mistake and it actually was for another project in the Central Africa Republic.  Although we are still processing this disappointing news, we are choosing to believe…rather than fear…that God will provide the needed resources…in His way.

  1. Sayang talaga!! But it's good that God doesn't make mistakes! Didn't the good news carry you across the Atlantic, and all the mountains on the way? Now there's still time to complete the application before the Dec. 1 deadline, and I believe the Lord will provide--and that He'll use Tyndale for at least part of that. 1 Thes. 5:24 KJ
