We (the cadets and I) had a very eventful and fun weekend which I will tell you about later. But, of course, after we returned some crises came up which could easily overwhelm me. I was praying very emotionally as I got ready and on the way in to work today. Ilona, one of the Riga 2 corps leaders, led prayers this morning. She was right on and exactly what I needed. From Galations 3:5 - does God want us to work for Him or simply to believe in Him and He will do the work? (a simplified version based on limited understanding of Latvian) Then we sang this chorus:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in his wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of his glory and grace.
That's it! What I need to do today - simply look to Jesus and let Him work out the crisis in His way. I was then inspired to listen to the Hallelujah Prayer Chorus CD. I could listen to Pete McBride play the piano all day. But, today it wasn't the music, it was the simplicity and truth of these timeless songs. Especially this one:
He knows, he knows
The storms that would my way oppose;
He knows, he knows
And tempers every wind that blows.
Today I simply want to look into Jesus' face and trust Him.
