Use Your Imagination

This post only requires you to close your eyes and think. Imagine if our country never had a written language which would mean that we couldn't read, write, or have a copy of God's Word!

Our family just recently stayed at a Bible Institute in Texas that is training missionaries to go to countries where there is not a written language to eventually create a written language for them. After the language is written down with much preparation and study, they can then translate the Bible into that language! As you can tell, that is not easy task for anyone.

My heart was blessed by the dedication these missionaries have to take the Gospel to these "Bible less People Groups". One thing is for sure, most of them are giving up much more than the average missionary. Most of them go into the middle of nowhere, into the "bush" to work with these tribal people. The missionaries live almost like the natives for the sake of the Gospel.

Does this make them anymore spiritual or called... no. Each mission field is different, just as each missionary is different. However, it does mean that we should stop and think the next time we complain about things that really don't matter. My heart was stirred to not worry about what my eventual home would look like because some of those missionaries would be building their home from the ground up. Some will hike a day or two to get to where they are going.

I have realized that God is going to take care of even the smallest details for me. He doesn't want me to worry, but to TRUST.
