God Is Dependable

I called my mom yesterday to see how her and dad were doing. My dad answered the phone and said that they were getting ready to drop off some home made rolls to a family that lost a loved one. That my parents were getting ready to do this on a Saturday afternoon was not surprising. They may be the most selfless people I have ever met. My mother is famous for taking dinner rolls to parties, funerals, shut ins, and more. They are as predictable and dependable as the morning sun rise. I told Michelle that it would be interesting to know how many dinner rolls my mom has made over the years. So we decided to do a little figuring. We estimated that with her being 67 years old and probably making a batch a week since she was probably 16 years old that she has made around 62,400 dinner rolls over her lifetime. That is astounding!!
As predictable as receiving a fresh batch of home made dinner rolls is from my parents God is even more dependable. God did awesome things in 2009. I dont want to take that lightly and be so forward minded I dont stop to say thanks for what has already been done. However In 2010 lets trust God for more. You will see that as you step out in faith and take a risk that it is in those moments of feeling weak in the knees that you see God work the strongest. He is faithful and he loves you. What requires faith for you that God is saying trust me in?
Refuge for Women is committed to taking steps of faith in 2010. I pray God never allows us to get comfortable in our current circumstances but that we are constantly praying prayers that without God’s intervention we will fail miserably. Please be in prayer for us this year. We need your prayers with hiring a staff that is called by God, protection from distraction and division, and for completing the house for a spring opening. Your prayers are the number one way we need your involvement. Thanks for your partnership. Lets witness His dependability together.
