Psalm 121

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from where shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forever.

Living by Faith and Not by Sight

I was listening to our local christian radio station the other day and the General Manager started talking about "faith support". He reminded listeners that he was not making a plea for a handout or trying to sell a product. He was asking them to be part of sharing the Gospel with people in this community, to be a part of what God is doing through the radio station. I thought he did a very good job of explaining "faith support" and it caught my attention because we trust God to provide our finances as well.

Our job is to obey God's call and be faithful to invite others to join the team! We're not salespeople nor are we professional fund raisers. We don't have control over when or how the funds are provided, we just have to trust God to provide for what He has called us to do, and He will!

God is touching the hearts of many people to be a part of taking the Gospel to Japan, through giving and going! He loves the people of Japan and wants them to be free from the bondage of false religion.

Often we feel like Peter, stepping out of the boat, doing something that looks crazy to the "rational" mind. But if we keep our eyes on Jesus, He won't let us sink!
