Preparing for my mission trip down to Mexico I found myself dreading the day that we'll leave. I began to have a fear about going, I felt insecure about leaving my little Texas-sized bubble. I know in my heart that this trip will be amazing. God has BIG plans for our group in Merida. But I could not loose that nagging feeling in my chest. I soon began spending time saying 'but I can't" instead of talking to God about HIS plans for me. Then last night while I trying to sleep it hit me!
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord you God will be with you wherever you go."
(Joshua 1:9)
I felt like an idiot. How could I have been so selfishly blind!? Here I was thinking: 'I can't', 'I'M scared','I don't speak spanish' 'I I I '. Never: 'GOD can', GOD will be with me','With GOD all things are possable'. I can't do it on my own but GOD can. With Him as my partner I can do ANYTHING, even go to Mexico.
As Christians we're called to be strong and courageous for God. He never said it would all come easily, infact He said that this life will be full of strugles. Life may not always be the way I want it but I know it's all worth it.
Because Jesus saved me, I know that someday I'll join Him in heaven. Jesus sacrificed His perfect life for a bunch of worthless sinners.
I think I can sacrifice a life of ME for a life of HIM, can you?
Can you step out of your bubble and live for the One who saved you?
No matter how hard it may seem, He's ALWAYS going to be with you, walking alone the road right along with you.
Please just take some time this week to listen to God, you'd be amazed at all the things He has to say.
May God bless y'all with many chances to lean on Him.
In Him,
McCall <><
