The past month or so has been a moment by moment trusting in the Lord. I guess that's the only way to go, right? I went from almost panicking at the thought of hosting a sort of "church" meeting in my home to trying to figure out how to encourage and nurture the little flock God has given us. It is exciting to see what an ecclesia really is. Even more exciting is how I feel God has set each step before us before I really even realize that is what our need is. This brings me back to the thought of Gods complete and sovereign faithfulness that I picked up on in my journey through Genesis. It is amazing to me how I think something needs to look a certain way and then realize God already has everything all planned out and when I submit to Him it goes just as He has desired for my life. That thought and realization right there makes me sigh in relief...whew thank you Faithful Father.
My journey through Acts has been so eye opening as well. I've read it before, studied it before, but never like this. This study through Acts with the help of Bible Study Fellowship has been so enlightening. Its really neat to share with Sean what I am learning and see my husband smile and think, "now God why wouldn't she listen to me when I tried to teach her these things?" But the coolest part is that my husband is happy for me that I am learning these neat and very important truths for the edification of Christian brothers and sisters, for the ecclesia. What is even neater is that as I studied through my lesson this week and came across the question of circumcision and the difference between Jewish Christians at Antioch and Jerusalem Christians I was able to answer with complete confidence and easily recall some facts I just learned through the lesson my husband taught on this past Sunday during our "church" time. God is so good. Even in moments of panic and wonder of the unknown, God is so so good to me and shows me He is to be trusted, He is worthy of all praise, He knows what is best for me all of the time. Thank you God!
