A missed flight, a delayed flight.....when should we try to get a meal? Should we change the vehicle reservation time?  When do we call everyone that is expecting us and tell them we won't make it?  Do we go ahead and go to church and get there late?  Do we try to get together with everyone late for just a few hours?  Which car do we choose? Do we stay in a hotel or start driving to our destination? and on and on and on..........decisions, decisions, decisions! 

 

Changed plans..........what do I do?  Do I listen to my instincts which basically say, "Bail Out!  This is overwhelming!"  Or do I listen to the Holy Spirit who is saying, "I'm going before you and setting everything straight, trust Me.  Listen to my guidance.  Obey Me!  Keep going!  All things work together for good to those who love Christ." 

 

Well, here we sit in Phoenix on the other end of a "spiritual warfare day" in the travel world and give glory to God who kept us going.......kept us focused......sent people to pray us to our destination......made the right decisions for us.   We're rested and are ready to dig in to the task ahead of us.  My two precious Navajo teens heading back home today (please pray for them as the experience re-entry) and me as I head down to the San Carlos Indian Reservation to lead an 8 day mission trip with two church groups from Texas.

 

Thank You, Jesus for your faithfulness as you strengthened us and gave us wisdom yesterday.  And Thank You as you have prepared us today for the task you have set before us and for teaching us to "Fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning it's shame and sat down at the right hand of the throne of  God.  Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."  Hebrews 12:2-3
