WHAT DOES THE LORD REQUIRE OF YOU?


He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. - Micah 6:8 NIV

God at work.

Many people ask us how we manage to "live by faith." (By that they often want to know how we don't starve because we don't get paid for the work we do. )

The Bible teaches us that God loves us and that He knows all of our needs. In trusting Him to provide what we need we allow ourselves to be a tangible example of the God's abilities and His faithfulness. It isn't easy but it is amazing. My last blog post is one example of how God can provide financially...

Living "by faith" also involves trusting God to open doors and create opportunities for us to do what He has called us to. The Bible teaches us that God has good things planned out for us to do before we are even born.

Check this out...

Yesterday afternoon I was looking at the availability of URLs for something we will be doing at CSU in Ft Collins.

A certain name come to me all of a sudden. The URL 'Rgeneration.org' was available... but 'Rgeneration.com' is not...

I typed it in to see if it is for sale... and I was forwarded to 'setapartlife.com' which is a website for a ministry in Ft Collins. As I looked closer I discovered that it is a ministry... In Colorado... In FORT COLLINS, that is moving towards some of the same things that we are! I thought, " I HAVE to get in contact with these people."

This morning I got an unsolicited email from a trusted friend here in Colorado Springs suggesting that I get in contact with a certain person in Ft Collins. You guessed it... Same people!

Within 15 minutes we were exchanging emails. They live in the small town I grew up in, we have similar ywam connections, (SO, of course we googled them...) we all have very similar ministry philosophies, interests and passions!

This kind of thing doesn't happen everyday... But this type of experience is typical of how I have known which major steps to take over the course of almost two decades.

Living "by faith" is an amazing adventure and I would suggest it to anyone who wants to really "live."

I can't prove that God exists any more than anyone else can prove that God doesn't exist... Based on my experience, however, I am convinced.
