Emily, seen here with Tom & Esther, has been a tremendous help to us in the house since the end of August. She is on a gap year before going on the study German and philosophy and when she leaves us during this month she will be working to raise funds for a three month stint in Uganda in a mission school with Mission Direct.
The Scripture text for our Sunday service was from Isaiah 30:18 - The Lord will wait that He may be gracious to you ... blessed are all those who who wait for Him. Often the Lord doesn't seem to be in hurry to answer our prayers but He knows the very best time seen from the many vantage points which He alone has access to. These words of promise are set within a chapter warning of the foolishness and sin of making our own plans and using our own initiative without reference to God and His word. Our deliverance and salvation is in returning to Him in restful trust when we will then find our strength through quiet peace and confidence in Him. (v 15).
