“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Matthew 5:6
The older I get, the more times I have thought to myself or commented to somebody that after reading a familiar passage, “wow, I don’t recall reading that before.” Has that ever happened to you? I am sure that you, like me have read through the Bible several times throughout our lives and this common phenomenon has happened to you at least once. The ‘learned’ in our fallen world will tell us why this takes place. I’m really not too sure what is in the forefront in our culture today, knowledge or wisdom. I have read that knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit and wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. The beauty of finding ‘new’ insights in Scripture is that the Holy Spirit continues to open our eyes and minds a little more each time we dig into His Word. There is always something new and exciting in His Word; another lesson to learn.
The beautiful children in the attached photo attend the Lutheran school in Ouanaminthe and their school day is over and at the time, they were in the process of saying ‘orevwa’ to the visiting mission team members. They are hungry and thirsty for His Word and thanks to people like you, they will come to school each day and be fed; Spiritually and nutritionally.
And, you can help provide a wonderful lunch for them on this final day of the Trinity HOPE online auction; bidding concludes at 8 PM. For several of these kids, the meal provided by donors like you from Trinity HOPE will be their only meal of the day.
Heavenly Father, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen.
May God be with you…Jay
