So my bag was stolen... . Why would God do this? I thought He looks after us and our stuff and that everything always works out for the best if you trust Him...
But, sometimes we just miss the entire picture and get it all wrong. For the past two weeks Cornie and I have been waiting in Addis Ababa for my passport and God just had it all planned. We went to a local international church and saw Ethiopia stretching her hands to God. We met the Pastor after the service and Cornie felt led to ask him about their mission in terms of neighbouring countries.
On another occasion when we went to report the theft, we met a policeman who claimed to believe in science. He said that seeing is believing and God is not tangible. We explained that the way we should look at God is the same as looking at a case. The fact that you did not witness the theft does not mean it did not take place.
We also befriended a young lady who runs a cafe and the Lord just impressed it on our hearts to be praying for her. The Lord has big plans for her life.
These things may seem small, but the Lord has bigger plans!
All the little things that happened during this time would not have happened had we left on our time.
We believe for fruit of all this.
