Trip Report: Mae Sot
In keeping with the blessings of God that have rained down on us this trip, our drive from Bangkok to Mae Sot was much shorter than expected. God has truly been gracious to our team, and there is no doubt but that this blessing is due to the prayer warriors diligently lifting us up.
Today, I am again reminded that there is nothing more exciting than having the opportunity to do God’s work. In our group devotional this afternoon, I shared with our team something that never fails to amaze me: Our chance, the God-given opportunity, to be a part of His promise.
God’s Word is full of promises to His people. From David in the Psalms, noting that he had never seen the children of Godly men begging bread, to Jesus Christ Himself, saying, “Lo, I am with you alway,” God has staked His character on His faithfulness to His people.
There were times in the Bible that God fulfilled that promise by pouring out blessing from Heaven–the manna in the wilderness comes to mind. But far more often than that, God uses other people to do that work. Those people are a part of God’s promise, a piece in meeting His covenant with His people.
I believe I can speak for the team when I say that we are overwhelmed to be a part of the promise, a small piece in proving God’s faithfulness.
And your prayers make you a part of this work. We can feel them, and they are working–not only on our behalf, but on behalf of the brothers and sisters in Christ that we are here to serve.
