The Bible tells us that God's ways are not our ways. I know that is true, and in an intellectual sense, I am glad that is true. I know that God is perfect, wise, and perfectly wise and wants what is best for me, so He is much better equipped to control my life than I am. Sometimes, though, it is hard to understand and accept what God is doing in my life. Things don't always go my way.
It is in these hard times that God draws me to Himself. My faith is strengthened and matured as I am stretched and grown. Lately I feel like I have been forced to trust God in a new and deeper way.
Life is hard for many Beng people. They don't always have enough food or water. They work hard for what they have. Sickness and death are a regular part of life. I pray that the Lord would use difficult times in their lives to draw many to Himself, that they may know Him in a personal way and depend on Him for life and salvation. Thanks for praying with me.
