Tomorrow I leave on a mission trip out of the country. Excited? Yes, very much so. Yet there is some fear too...fear of doing this alone. Fear that this is all too familiar and that I will do this mission trip in my own strength instead of the strength of my Father. Thus far, I haven't "needed" the Lord to provide anything. The Lord has blessed me with the funds to be able to go on this trip...so expense was not an issue. I have been on several mission trips in the past so this is familiar. My fear, though, is that the familiarity will lead to independence of the Lord. My prayer this past week, however, has been that I would be completely reliant upon the Lord. That HIS strength would guide me!
Psalm 27:1 "Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is wasted"
Lord, I pray that you would build this week! I invite you to pray with me as I leave. Pray that the Lord would be glorified and that I would work this week in HIS strength!
