I have been progressing slowly with my Matthew connect journal. Yesterday, the passage was on the well-known fish and bread story. [Coincidentally, Yee yee and Daniel Loo cooked me a very healthy potato and fish dinner yesterday. Thanks for the hospitality my favourite hang-out-to-eat buddies].
Well, I did pray to get a fresh revelation out of the story, not the one heard 1000 times before since I was a baby. And in that 20 minutes, God spoke very gently about every situation I was facing now. The seeming lack. The multitude of needs. The 10,000 faces you don't want to see because you think what you have is not enough. The financial struggles. The hard, laboursome mission in GU. The uncertainties and lack of skills I need to go anywhere in the music business, or live out the vision God has placed in my heart for a long time.
God just said," You're exactly where you need to be at. It is not a mistake. I don't make mistakes."
Now for the miracles...God has been daring me to live on the edge for a long time now. And I stubbornly cling to safety and just go frantic if anything is uncertain. But God reminded me that my choice to do music was based on the fact that He had gifted me to do this, and this area is one of continual dependance on God. I won't have a set job, set pathway, seemingly no security. But God will be glorified all the more through the odds against me.
He will multiply the meal for THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS. As long as I can trust Him to do that. You are a good God.
