I thought I would post the scripture God showed me while in India. I already shared that He taught me much in Ecclesiastes about my life and how people are living daily in India. He also shared with me many other verses.
Regarding my fear and struggles before leaving he showed me Matt 10:37....."anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who will not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me." That was a big test from God on both of those issues. I had to put God first and then follow Him on this mission! Wow! Talk about taking it all on. I passed the test and have been blessed and rewarded. I know God will give me more because I have done well with what He has given me.
For the Christians and non Christians in India God showed me Ecc 2: 26..." to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind."
God showed me Psalm 115 for the people in India who will not follow Him but instead follow their useless idols.
I really related to Ecc 1:18 after being in India a few days......" For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;the more knowledge, the more grief" However by listening and waiting on God He will bring peace for my aching heart that cries for India.
The reason I know the above to be true is that God, upon telling my heart to help Him bring others to India, he pointed me to Matt 9:37....."The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field" I hope you will join me in this prayer and let the Lord use me by directing interested people to this blog and to us so we can share God's work with them. To that point God gave me Matt 5:15....."You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your father in heaven."
I haven't had God give me that much scripture from all over the bible in a while. It was always so relevant and what was cool was that I just went there by God's direction....not devotionals, etc. I wold just come across it and God would reveal some thing to me.
Since God has placed India in my heart I will continue this blog.....not as entertaining as squatties and crazy bus rides up mountains....but the journey for me didn't end when we came home but a new mission began. For today I feel jet lagged :) but I feel like God is really smiling on me. I feel like He is happy with my service. I took on so much with this trip....I went way beyond what I thought I was capable of and what I have been capable of in the past. I just pray that God will help keep it all fresh in my heart and my mind. I pray it won't "wear off" and that I will be able to continue a lot of the service I did in India right here at home. Believe it or not we need it as bad or worse than India does. I pray we will start to cry for God to heal OUR land!
In service,
Krendi
