Today’s Beatitude – “Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.”
I’d like to invite you to consider how many times a day that beatitude would bless you if you would embrace it. In Mwanza right now, it is 5:35pm, in London 3:35pm, Chicago 9:35am and Denver 8:35am.
Let me tell you how many times I’ve been blessed by that beatitude today:
After a ten and a half hour flight, we waited a long time for our luggage only to find that the sound system had been broken. We were dogged by pushy bag handlers. As we rode through Dar Es Salaam, we dodged bikes, cars, buses and people. Then when we checked in for our evening flight to Mwanza, we were held up for over an hour to take care of details that were already confirmed with authority at the airport.
You get the idea. Please don’t get the wrong impression. We have experienced the power of God’s presence because fo your faithfulness to keep us, this mission and God’s plans in your prayers.
If we keep a healthy perspective, no time – no experience is wasted in God’s economy.
So, the next time you’re ‘held up’ at a stop light, don’t complain, pray.
We are thanking God for you and also praying for you!
