In a few hours
I am leaving for China. Three women will accompany me, and we
have just found out the the Russian airline that flies from China
to Siberia has canceled all flights. We have four suitcases of critical missionary items, missionary support, and some important documents to deliver. We must go through China, and now there are no flights. Let's look back to see where we can see the Lord: Even though we have planned to spend five days in Siberia and have planned to meet two women traveling from Ukraine, the Lord has been calling this the China trip. The one thing I have been seeing for years is getting on a train and taking our little party through some Chinese countryside, since one of the women is planning to spend the rest of her life in China as a missionary. There is a sense that the Lord shut down the planes to keep us in China. Certainly there are times when the enemy tries to impede the plan of God, and when one thinks that is the case, one must take the suitcases and go to the closed airport or go to the river when the boats do not run. But we see the Lord all over this. So here is the punch line. . Go with the flow. It is not always possible to tell, but at the moment you must know God will give enough light to let you see where He is, and that is the critical deciding factor for each moment. |
