This morning we had a wonderful church service joined together by our family and friends in prayer and worship. I want to thank everyone for all the support and love you have given us all!
The verse we have been focusing on these last few months is Psalm 68: 1-11,
"May God arise, may his enemies be scattered;
may
his foes flee before him.
2 May you blow them away like smoke—
as wax melts before the fire,
may the wicked perish before God.
3 But may the righteous be glad
and rejoice before God;
may they be happy and joyful.
2 May you blow them away like smoke—
as wax melts before the fire,
may the wicked perish before God.
3 But may the righteous be glad
and rejoice before God;
may they be happy and joyful.
4 Sing to God, sing in praise of his name,
extol him who rides on the clouds;
rejoice before him—his name is the Lord.
5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
is God in his holy dwelling.
6 God sets the lonely in families,
he leads out the prisoners with singing;
but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
extol him who rides on the clouds;
rejoice before him—his name is the Lord.
5 A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,
is God in his holy dwelling.
6 God sets the lonely in families,
he leads out the prisoners with singing;
but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.
7 When you, God, went out before your people,
when you marched through the wilderness,
8 the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain,
before God, the One of Sinai,
before God, the God of Israel.
9 You gave abundant showers, O God;
you refreshed your weary inheritance.
10 Your people settled in it,
and from your bounty, God, you provided for the poor.

11 The Lord announces the word,
and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:
and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:
It starts by painting a picture of God's people rejoicing before Him. Then His people are called to sing songs of worship and praise. God is explained as the father to the fatherless and a defender of the widows. These are all examples of reasons to praise God. He is mighty and merciful. Then in verse 7, it explains how God went before His people, the earth shook and heaven poured down.
I know that God has gone before us on this journey. He is there working through the Passion Center and people of Malawi. I know that He is with us now, and will continue to be in every single step of the way. He is taking care of the orphans and widows at this very moment. And very soon we will have the chance to sing songs of praise and worship together!
Will be praying for you all!
