His Work When You Don't See It

Wednesday, February 19, 2025

As I was about to graduate from college, my life was dramatically interrupted with a call to ministry. When I graduated, I searched for the right ministry. I didn't find it. Finally, I said, "Lord give me a job You would do." Soon after that, I got a job working with disabled children. I knew that eventually, I would leave there for full-time ministry. For five years I taught Bible studies, ministered to the homeless, but saw no sign of the ministry God had called me to. Then overnight I was given the leadership of a congregation and a radio program; overnight, but five years later, in God's faithfulness, He had actually been preparing me for ministry. He was teaching me to be faithful in the little things. Maybe your life doesn't make much sense, or it seems like God has forgotten. He hasn't forgotten. He's with you right now, and He is working all things together invisibly. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Delight yourself in His love, and He will bring it to pass. For He will give you the desire of your heart.
