This picture I took last night as I was finishing up a late night run where I could find light. One of my favorite songs played, Oceans by Hillsong United. This has been my go to song for Water Walking for years. Our mission field can seem scary and overwhelming, whether we are called overseas or called in our communities. Even though I have been encouraging us all to be mission minded, I haven’t been very mission minded myself. In the last few weeks I have been waiting on test results and the next step from my Doctor. Life seemed to stand still for me. Thankfully I received some good news this week and I am working towards a plan with my Doctor.

Last night was a God Wink for me in that even when God takes us down paths We didn’t think our feet could wonder, we need to keep the faith. Jesus is always there to reach out to us, just like He did for Peter; “Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” Matt‬ ‭14:31‬ ‭NIV‬‬. Especially in our trials, God can use us for missions. We can be mission minded in allowing God to use us when life is difficult. We are not alone in this mission field. We have a strong community of believers.

Are you feeling stuck today? Are you consumed with your present situation? Don’t let doubt take over, keep the faith! Let’s take a moment to worship with Hillsong United!
