Who

This week I have been the Aunt/Parent figure for my nephew and niece that have come to KC to go to camps here at the International House of Prayer Missions Base, and also attend the Fascinate Conference.  I am so blessed that the Lord our God has brought them here, it just confirms the truth and beauty of everything He has called me to do and experience here, because now the younger generation has been sent to hear His words of truth.  
For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting, His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations.  Psalm 100:5



Dropping my little ones off at their camp and letting them go into the hands of counselors has been a challenge.  It has caused me to really lean into God's faithfulness in working through men to bring about His goodness towards the weak and needy children. (weak and needy because they are just kids!) 

¹²For He delivers the needy when he calls out, the poor also and him who has no helper.  ¹³He will have pity on the poor and weak and needy and will save the lives of the needy. 

Psalm 72:12-14 (AMP)

I felt like I just wanted to make everything perfect and safe for them, and do the hard stuff for them, but I knew I couldn't and if I did they would never grow and learn, experience for themselves how to trust in the Lord.  This parenting thing is unfamiliar to me, but I can see how someday it will reveal so much more about our Father God to my heart and soul.  God's greatness is perfect and His judgements are too.  He knows how much we need Him, and how much we need to trust Him, and He allows us to learn of His faithfulness in every situation in our lives.  God truly is good, almighty, and the wisest King of kings!

Lord Jesus, You are fairer, better, wiser than any man, yet you have humbled Yourself to be joined with men for the glory of our Father God who loves us so much!  Thank You that we are called sons of God and that we are.  Thank You for being the most trustworthy companion of all men and women.  Thank You Lord for filling us with Your Spirit who comforts us and leads us into all truth, that we may be assured of Your good plans for us, and Your always provision of all our needs.  We cry out to You, from where our help comes from!  We say "yes" we will go with You in every situation, high or low, dark and light, knowing that You will never leave us or forsake us.  I lean on You my God and my King!  If you are for us, nothing, and no one can be against us!  Victory in Jesus, my Savior forever!

^{5Who is this who comes up from the wilderness leaning upon her beloved?...}

¹⁴[Joyfully the radiant bride turned to him, the one altogether lovely, the chief among ten thousand to her soul, and with unconcealed eagerness to begin her life of sweet companionship with him, she answered] Make haste, my beloved, and come quickly, like a gazelle or a young hart [and take me to our waiting home] upon the mountains of spices!
