"Moreover brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea...And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that Spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ..Now these things were our examples..." I Corinthians 10:1,4,6.
Firstly, thank you all who faithfully pray for us!
A conversation with a supporting pastor has really stuck out at me. He said to me
"Our Christian walk is day by day. Trusting in the LORD, every step.
Like the Israelites getting up every morning going to the tabernacle to see
if the cloud lifted or if it remained. They waited on God daily, and watched.
In the event the the cloud moved, they followed."
It made me think also of how they gathered the manna. The Lord provided enough for each day. They had to work for it and gather it, but all they needed was given. Likewise we pray, give us this day our daily bread. Day by day we wait for the Lord's leading for work and for ministry opportunities. Day by day we contact more churches, send out packets, wait for replies. Week by week we travel to new churches, wait and watch.
