Taste and See (Psalm 34:8)
Have you ever spent days, weeks, months, or years completing a task, only to learn that you were sincerely compliant in effort but wrong in the way you executed it? In rehab, Debbie's mother learned that a foot exercise that she had faithfully performed for months was useless to help her lymphedema in the way she did it. Now she "pumps" correctly!
It reminded Debbie of a salesperson with whom she worked in the 1990s, a single mother of one young child, earnestly trying to be a great mother, friend, and co-worker. She called her moral guide "The Gospel according to *," using her first name. She chose ideas from various religions, including Bible thoughts, and lumped them together in her "feel good" code. She was sincerely compliant with her own ethics but sadly missed the necessity of the Gospel and obedience to God's ENTIRE design in community. This mentality permeates the Church, too, and sometimes ourselves, until God brings it to mind for confession and repentance. Abundant life and blessings are our inheritance if we accept the whole counsel of God, not just the precepts that "feel right" to us individually. Lord, help us not lean on our understanding but trust Your ways fully.
Come and See (Psalm 34:8)
Visiting pastors |
Our Ivorian colleague laboring to fund and increase ministries using CHE settled a land dispute with villagers, receiving the paperwork to make his sole ownership compliant with Ivorian law. The matriarchal side of his family finger-printed a document that cedes him the land free and clear. He, in turn, publicly dedicates it to CHE agricultural endeavors. The papers go to tribal superiors for signature, stamping, and registration. This is an answer to prayer on the way to have governmental authorities using patriarchal structures to not allow land ownership contestation.
Prayer & Praise
- π Pray Ivorian pastors seek the Lord's wisdom in balancing rural life with new realities of our world, like AI. Hard physical fieldwork mixes with cell phone scammers—truly, two worlds collide!
- π Praise the Lord for tangible paperwork progress related to the local agricultural project. The matriarchal side of the family signed an agreement allowing the land to be solely owned!
- π Rejoice that Debbie's mom returned home from rehab the day before Thanksgiving! Doctors and family still have significant medical concerns, but she is resting better at home.
