To be honest, I sometimes struggles with these seasons, because I am such a doer. Although, since Covid I have learned to appreciate the quieter times. Throughout the month of June I found myself asking God what more can I do. Lord, I want to be used by You here! Who do you want me to share with, encourage, visit?

I have been feeling less and less useful as I’m going through a long season of
losing my voice. It started with just my singing voice, but now, two years
later, it is also my talking, reading, and presenting voice – accompanied by a
cough and spurts of choking. I have seen doctors. I have prayed for healing. I
have rested, wrestled, and cried. And do you hear what this paragraph is all
about? I! Me! What I have done! And today I am feeling challenged.</span></p>

well known. Moses and the burning bush is an account that every Sunday school
child has heard numerous times, and I’m sure many of you have heard it more
than you can count. So, may we all be refreshed with God’s Word and character
today. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</span>The Lord, through His Word and Spirit, divulges Himself to us, although

verse 1 we see that Moses is tending the sheep of his father-in-law Jethro when
he comes to Mount Horeb.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is also
known as the Mountain of God, or Mount Sinai.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Now, this verse doesn’t really show us who God is, but if we look back
at what happened on that mountain, we can catch a glimpse of our awesome
God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First of all, the burning bush is
here at the mountain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Later on, after
the Israelites are freed from the Egyptians, they come to this same mount to
rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moses climbs the mount and
receives the Ten Commandments of the Lord. The law is important to the Lord. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

bronze or wood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And he is certainly no
golden calf. He speaks to His people and reveals His glory. Moses’ face was
shining after the glory of the Lord passed by him up on that mountain. Elijah

all of this?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No one really knows where

</span>Two, God called out his name.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>God

God because the Lord confirmed His identity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He is the God of Moses’s forefathers – Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is a covenant keeping God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A God who does not forget His people. This
should have been encouraging to Moses, but it was terrifying because the Jews
believed no one could see God and live. And Moses was definitely hearing and

powerful God; who is Holy, Perfect, Omnipresent, Loving, Just, Promise Keeping…
He desired to use Moses to bring out His people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moses, a broken, shy, prince, murderer,

Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” God listens.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He hears our complaints and excuses, but He
doesn’t give up on us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His ways are
better than our ways. And as I often quote, “The Lord Knows”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is a promise keeper. A God who knows the future. A covenant keeping God who
patiently explains to Moses that He will be with Him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He will never leave him or forsake Him. He
will tell Moses what to say, including the fact that He is the Great I AM.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He will guide Pharaoh’s heart. He will allow
Aaron to go as a companion. Again, I am blown away by the mercy, love, and plan

feel inadequate or unworthy? Do you feel shy or scared? Do you tend to focus on
your own weaknesses and make up excuses for what you haven’t done, or for

thoughts and actions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Moses was curious
enough to approach the burning bush, but not courageous enough to believe all
that the Lord had to say.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He hid his

Exodus 3, we can see the grace of the Lord at work here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One, the Lord desired to have a relationship

</span>We are not slaves to the Egyptians, but we are born as sinners and

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Greetings
dear Saints around the world. It is such a sweet blessing to know that there
could be listeners from various countries who tune in to this message, and when
I ponder how small the world is getting because of technology, it’s still a
wonderfully large and diverse planet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
the moment I am living and serving in Gulu, Uganda, amongst the Acholi
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find the language here
difficult to learn and I always wish to respond in Ateso, which is the language
of the former tribe I lived in for ten years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Thankfully I can speak a lot of English wherever I go, but sometimes a
translator is needed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Twenty
years ago I was serving in the Philippines, in Southeast Asia, when I received
an invitation to come and spend Christmas and New Year’s with a cousin who was
living in Japan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My flight was delayed
leaving Manila, so that meant I would miss the overnight train from Osaka. When
I arrived in Japan I had to take a tram, or small train, over to the Kyoto
train station, which is a major transportation hub.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I got there at 11:15 pm, but the train I
wanted left at 11pm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The station was
very cold, in the dead of winter, and only a few people were standing around
the platforms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried to talk to the
staff or train conductors wearing white to see if they could tell me when the
next train departed for Kochi, but the only English they knew was “Sorry Ma’am,
you missed the train!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know, but when
is the next train.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They would shake
their heads and say, “You missed the train.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I tried to think of other creative ways of asking and they just shook
their heads and walked away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ATM
like ticket machines were all written in Japanese characters, so I couldn’t
even read the name Kochi.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I
bundled up and sat against a wall in that cold, quiet station for about two
hours. Then a tiny man motioned for me to follow him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sending up a few prayers to God, I followed
this man through a door, down a long dark hallway, down some stairs, along
another hallway, where he brought me to a warm computer lab with comfy
couches.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He motioned for me to sit and
then he walked away. A moment later a young man came up to me and asked me, in
perfect English, how he could be of assistance. I felt incredible relief!! And
from there I was able to reach my cousin;s home with a clearly laid out train
schedule.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Today
we are going to read a story from the Bible that shares a little about how
various languages came about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m sure
the people were utterly confused as they wondered around trying to find someone
else to speak the new language that rolled off their tongues. Ola. Jambo. Yoga.
Apfwoyo. Dag. Hello. Bonjour… <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then
that moment when they would meet someone whom they understood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow. Imagine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Let’s

<p style="background: white;"><span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">So far the reading of God’s Word. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">This story happens not only near the beginning of the Bible, but
also near the beginning of the story of man.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Adam and Eve were created.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They
sinned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The people just a few
generations later had completely forgotten about God and Noah built an ark to
save his family and some animals from total destruction, and then Noah’s 3 sons
started all over again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shem, Ham, and
Japheth began having children and spreading out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At least, they were supposed to have spread
out and fill the earth. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">Ham gave birth to Cush. Cush gave birth to Nimrod and in Genesis
10 we learn that Nimrod became a mighty warrior on the earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. The
first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad, and Kalneh, in Shinar.
From that land he went to Assyria, where he built Ninevah, Rehoboth Ir, Calah
and Resen, which is between Ninevah and Calah – which is the great city.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">Have you heard some of these city names before? Assyria, Ninevah,
Babylon, and Canaan – these people groups were often against God’s people, the
Israelites, but they were first built up under the leadership of Nimrod, the
great Grandson of Noah. This family line of Cush, Nimrod, Canaan, and others
forgot about God again. They were against God and seeking glory for
themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The glory and wonder of the
Babylonian ruins and gardens can still be glimpsed to this day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve heard rumors that the hanging gardens
around the current day Baghdad, Iraq, still reveal some of the ancient wonder.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">While preparing for this message, I also noted that many scholars
and religions believe that Babel and Babylon are the same place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Babel is a Hebrew word and Babylon is a Greek
word – for the “Gate of God.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">In Gen. 11:6 Nimrod says “Come, let us build a great city for
ourselves, with a tower that reaches the sky. This will make us famous and keep
us from being scattered over all the earth.” This went against God’s command to
spread out, go out, multiply, and fill the earth. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">Going against God is never a good thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Noah’s descendants tried to make a name for
themselves and God confused and scattered them. Noah’s sons, grandson, and
great grandsons wanted to make a name for themselves and be united in doing wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whether, not covering Noah when he was naked,
or uniting together to make a name for themselves with this tower that was
supposed to reach the heavens. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">God might not scatter us anymore through language, but we as human
beings still try to go against God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
want all the attention and the glory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
want people to look at us. It’s sometimes easier to be united in evil than in
good or truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In today’s society, we
try so hard to get noticed by driving the best cars, building fancy houses,
showing off our degrees, carrying titles for the sake of pride and
arrogance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We show off the things that
we’ve acquired and can easily forget that it is God who gave these things to
us. It may not feel like we are going against the Lord, but when we live on
easy street and forget the Lord and His provisions and guidance, it’s the same
thing. We, too, try to make a name for ourselves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span class="text"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">And the Bible is filled with stories of people who drew together
for the wrong reasons and displeased God. Nebuchadnezzar wanted people to
worship him. The children of Israel combined their gold and jewelry to create
the golden calf. Jonah teamed up with a whale because he went against God. Adam
and Eve partnered with the Serpent and ate from the tree of knowledge of good
and evil. Even Herod and Pontius Pilate united together to send Jesus to the
cross. God saw that when the descendants of Noah started gathering and
building, nothing would be impossible, because they were working with such
unity. But they were united against the Lord, not FOR God. So God confused
their languages and scattered them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">A few authors even suggested that Nimrod and these warriors wanted
to get their revenge on God for destroying the whole earth. They were going to
build a tower to reach God. They wanted to be worshipped. Nimrod was definitely
a proud, selfish, arrogant man who was building a large name and city center
for himself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">God saw all this happening! He didn’t like what was happening in
that beautiful city, but he couldn’t destroy them all because He was keeping
His promise. Instead, God humbled the people by confusing their language and
sending them out across the world. He wanted the people to focus on HIM and His
plans for them. Once again, the people had to turn their eyes back to God.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">We too focus on ourselves quite often. We could even say that
people think “I can do all things” but forget the rest – “Through Christ who
strengthens me.” We can be just like Nimrod. People build a name for themselves
rather than glorifying the name of the Lord. How often do we build ourselves up
to receive all the honor and take great pride in our towers of success,
possessions and other worldly treasures?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">God stopped the work of Nimrod and the other warriors as God
desired for the people to obey and remember Him and to spread out, just like He
had commanded. God wanted His name to be known instead of Nimrod’s name. Or the
Babylonian people. It’s not about what the people could do, it’s all about God.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">God wanted the descendants of Noah to go out and spread the Good
News of what God had done – to go forth and multiply, not only in number, but
also His message of Hope. God hoped His people would obey Him and remember His
Holy name. Trust me, when I found that young Japanese man, deep in the train
station, who could speak English and show me train schedule, I could do nothing
but praise the Lord.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the language
being confused, it actually drew me closer to God, knowing that He was the one
guiding my footsteps, looking over me, and I praised Him for how He lead me
through that journey in a foreign country. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">God today, gives us grace and offers instruction through His Word.
And he stops our plans by humbling us and turning our eyes back to Him. Life is
meaningless if we don’t have Jesus.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">James 4:6 says: “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the
humble.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">Therefore, let’s humble ourselves and place our trust and focus
back to Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus is the Name above
all names.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is the strong and mighty
tower! He alone is the gateway to God, not the Tower of Babel, where people
thought they would find the gates of heaven. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif";">So, what does God want from us today then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well,<o:p></o:p></span></p>

winter, we always accompanied Dad to the arena on Saturday nights.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He would play broomball and my brothers and I
would run around the rink, or play hockey after his game was over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The arena was a half hour away, and as we travelled
Dad would entertain us with songs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
called them “The Broomball Songs”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Here’s a few samples; let’s hope I can sing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

fun with all these golden oldies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
laughed, we sang our hearts out, and the journey flew by so quickly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

music was not as widely accessed in the 1980’s as it is today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We sang plenty of hymns at church and around
the table for family devotions, but the cassettes were lacking.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

people would make a pilgrimage up to Jerusalem at least three times a year for
various feasts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Groups would travel on
foot for days, climbing uphill to the city where God’s temple was
situated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And just like my family loves
to sing or listen to music on a journey, the Jewish people would do the
same.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since Jerusalem was an uphill
climb, some of the songs they sang were called Songs of Ascent. Today, we are
going to explore one of the songs that brings a joyful praise to the Lord.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Psalm 121 is a very famous traveller’s song,
written by an anonymous author. It’s also possible that the Levites sang this
song as the ascended the 15 steps to minister at the temple in Jerusalem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s open our Bible’s to Psalm 121.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

because of His great care for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He is
a God of Shamar. Shamar is a Hebrew word that means to exercise great care
over, to watch over, to guard, to tend or restrain, or to take heart.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

the One who will preserve (shamar) the soul of the one who looks to him for
help. (v2). He will guard (shamar) that soul and will not slumber (v3); He will
watch over (shamar) Israel and will not sleep (v4); He is that soul’s keeper
(shamar) (v5) and will both preserve (shamar) that one from evil and guard
(shamar) its life from evil (v7); the Lord God of Israel will guard (shamar)
that one’s coming and going forever (v8).<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

the hills, but his sightline did not stop there. He looked beyond the tallest
peak and the skyline to recognize the God who created them in the first
place.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And as the Psalmist worships the
Lord, we can notice that problems are woven all through the text.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

dangers might have been faced, or they could have been harmed along the way; maybe
there were thieves waiting behind the bushes or poisonous snakes or scorpions
crossing their paths. Fear, illness, loss, and even death could have taken
place during their travels, but also their daily lives. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

the mountains to hide, or find safety. In </span></span><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light", "sans-serif";">Genesis 19:30 we see
that “Lot went up from Zoar, and stayed in the mountains, and his two daughters
with him; for he was afraid to stay in Zoar; and he stayed in a cave, he and
his two daughters.” They were escaping all the evil that was left behind them
from Sodom and Gomorrah.</span></p>

said to the Israelite spies, “Go to the hill country, so that the pursuers will
not happen upon you, and hide yourselves there for three days until the
pursuers return. Then afterward you may go on your way.” So, they departed and
came to the hill country, and remained there for three days until the pursuers
returned back to Jericho. Now the pursuers had sought them all along the road,
but had not found them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

the time of Gideon, the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord and for 7
years he gave them into the hands of the Midianites. Because the power of
Midian was so oppressive, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in
the mountain clefts, caves and strongholds and from there they cried out to the
Lord for help. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

And so was sin and evil. Again,
when we look back to the Old Testament times, we remember that the Jews always
had to bring sacrifices and offerings to the Temple to pay for the wrongdoings
in their lives.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t know how often
the Levites had to climb those steps up into the Temple, to bring the blood
sacrifices to the Altar, but it is comforting to know that they too looked up
to the Almighty God of Shamar who cares and protects.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

and troubles didn’t just happen in the past.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They surround us, and sometimes feel like they consume us even
today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life has many dangers. In the
physical realms, there is disease, injury, accidents, infertility, war,
infirmity, natural disasters. Here I’ve often seen broken bones or bad scrapes
from motorcycle accidents. Last week there was that terrible earthquake that
rocked Syria and Turkey. And at the same time Israel is dropping bombs on
Syria. I can only imagine the pain and suffering those people are going
through.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

also experience economic problems. Recession and depression, unemployment,
outsourcing, downsizing, insolvency, debt, and theft. This week I’ve been
receiving texts from a young man who is really struggling right now.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He and his siblings were completely orphaned
about 8 years ago. He has been trying to get his sisters through school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had a job, but now his contract is
ending.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He doesn’t know how to supply
for their needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then, to make the
situation even more difficult, he got his girlfriend pregnant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The parents of the girl have rejected her and
forced her into a somewhat early marriage, so now this young man is also
needing to find food, clothing, and supplies for his new “expectant wife”.
Those are huge economic struggles.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

are spiritual dilemmas happening all around us too. Doubt, evil, sin,
corruption, fundamentalism, extremism, false teaching.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pastors who tell people that they should give
at least 1 million shillings as offertory and then they will receive a
promotion, or a child, or a car as a blessing. Congregations are falling apart
because a pastor had an affair and Christians no longer trust the church.
Deacons run away with the money purse, or fudge figures in the accounts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Trust me, spiritual problems can bring us
down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The journey of life can be
difficult. The Psalmist may have looked around him in anguish, but then looked
up with hope.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

why the Israelites sang – it’s a soldiers song and a travellers hymn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They knew there was a God, the Maker of
Heaven and earth who would guard, protect, watch over, shield, and keep
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They praised the God who made the
mountains that they climbed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
worshipped the Lord who kept them safe on the journey. Their God was a keeper
of souls.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A God who was more than a
faithful watchman who carefully guarded the city gates. He sheltered His people
better than a mother bird who tucks her young ones under her gentle wings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

we can notice a strong build-up of praise. The first two verses point to where
they go when they need help, they look beyond the mountains to the Maker of
those hills. Then the next two verses proclaim that God is their
protector.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He will not let their feet
slip. He never slumber or sleeps.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
diligently watches over them. Verses 5 and 6 reiterate that He watches over
them. He keeps them from harm. Verses 7 and 8 repeat that He keeps them from
harm and watches over their lives – always.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Shamar is woven through that text and that’s why they sang.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that’s why we should sing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

our eyes with hope, expectancy, desire, and confidence. God is our watchman
too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only does he stay awake, he
carefully observes, he’s attentive and notices everything. He not only sees,
but he see the significance of things. He knows. He helps and calms our fears.
He is also our protector, Helper, and Keeper. We may run to the hills, but it
is not the hills that protect us, it is God, the creator those hills. He is
close beside us all the time. Hallelujah!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

not our feet slip. Charles Spurgeon said “Our feet shall move in progress, but
they shall not be moved to their overthrow.” We can stand strong because the
Lord is with us. How can we stand strong? Through His Grace.<b><sup><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></sup></b></span></p>

Corinthians 1:24 “Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with
you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.” And we can stand firm
in God’s perfect and pleasing will.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the Maker of Heaven and Earth. Let us be joyful that our helper is ever present
and He will not fail to reach us in His perfect timing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And if we keep our eyes on Jesus, believe in
Him and trust in Him through this journey of life on earth, we shall pass
through with safe conduct.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not because
this world is trouble free, but because our final destination is not the temple
in Jerusalem, but the throne room in the New Jerusalem, the eternal celestial
city!! Jesus, the light of the world, will shade us from things that can burn
us, from times when life is hot with problems, he is there to comfort and
protect. If our souls are kept in Christ, then all things in life are kept
secure. Our keeping is everlasting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

unto a gracious God to keep thy soul steady; for looking downward on thyself
thou shalt find nothing but what will increase thy fear, infinite sins, good
deeds few and imperfect: it is not thy faith, but God’s faithfulness, thou must
rely upon; casting thine eyes downwards on thyself to behold the great distance
betwixt what thou deservest and what thou desirest, is enough to make thee
giddy, stagger, and reel into despair: ever therefore lift up thine eyes
unto the hills, from whence cometh thy help, never viewing the deep dale of thy
own unworthiness, but to abate thy pride when tempted to presumption.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

To speak of it is
one thing, to believe it is another. While God watches over us and protects us,
we are safe and can rest. We can sleep, be refreshed and shaded. God has
arranged the rocks and sands under our feet, and Christ is the solid rock upon
which we stand. Sing praises to the Lord as you set your fears before Him on
the altar. </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri Light","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Spurgeon, in his book “<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Treasury of
David</i>” encourages my heart with these words. "There is something very
striking in the assurance that the Lord will not suffer the foot even of the
most faint and wearied one to be moved. The everlasting mountains stand fast,
and we feel as if, like Mount Zion, they could not be removed for ever; but the
step of man – how feeble in itself, how liable to stumble or trip even against
a pebble in the way! Yet that foot is as firm and immoveable in God’s
protection as the hills themselves.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

time you head out on a journey – whether that is the normal footsteps of life,
or the car or bus rides to some place afar, keep your eyes on the Maker of
Heaven and earth because He is ever keeping (shamar) you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Speak out your fears to Him, but then trust
Him with them and know that He is carrying you in the Palm of His hand. God
should be your first and final source of help and hope.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

instructed to likewise guard our hearts and keep them engaged with the Lord:

life.” (Prov. 4:23)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Many also fasted from 6am-6pm as we brought these requests before the Lord. Monday through Friday we meet at the church at 6pm to sing and pray together over the daily requests and then we have a simple snack to break the fast. On Friday and Saturdays we meet in the homes of church leaders - again to sing and pray, but to also share a meal. It is a blessing to know the Lord hears our prayers and it is helping us to grow in unity as a church family.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFRB6A7A-TEbAHUJI09dByrE8yfyZ6TgWq5CPsdc_DdnxDS8Lc0rTvkXQOCd1McYgyGEn5uA1SACNgeg2TypnAMplaJC9pTj8BmBUb31xMwnILNO0ahQ0x6F-j1Go-whkLaWR71-yEI8dEeSYjYLPC_PB4OB4_hup7jeDiUWPCSmTc4gzZSCRboPVR/s4610/20230117_210633.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2301" data-original-width="4610" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFRB6A7A-TEbAHUJI09dByrE8yfyZ6TgWq5CPsdc_DdnxDS8Lc0rTvkXQOCd1McYgyGEn5uA1SACNgeg2TypnAMplaJC9pTj8BmBUb31xMwnILNO0ahQ0x6F-j1Go-whkLaWR71-yEI8dEeSYjYLPC_PB4OB4_hup7jeDiUWPCSmTc4gzZSCRboPVR/s320/20230117_210633.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p><b>Day 1: Prayer Points</b></p><p>1.

Most of the young ladies whom attend are university students from the campus next door. There is a time for fun and games, Bible study and worship, as well as snacks and fellowship.

After a dental visit, I went to visit an ENT, who sent me to a surgeon. The surgeon booked me for an endoscopy 2 days later and it showed a hiatal hernia, stomach polyps and serious acid reflux. I'm now on a major diet change. Then I was off to a lung specialist for a spirometry test, I have weak lungs, but they seem okay - even after a chest x-ray and CT scan. There is really no explanation for the cough in my throat. I am not only losing my singing voice, but also my teaching voice.

While driving back from Soroti with an Anglican Reverend, we had great fellowship in the car. Just moments away from dropping off the priest at his home in the diocesan housing, he mentioned that he was previously a little nervous driving all the way back to Gulu with us. When we asked why, he said, with most couples that he drives with, the husband and wife are either silent the whole time or they are silently bickering. But he noticed that we love to be with each other- joking, singing, telling stories and testimonies, pointing out things of wonder, reminiscing the awesome conference we attended and more. He said it was a blessing to travel with us. Hallelujah! May our marriage be a testimony.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgIxWvQO_CigYXcFDmleeNfXcBSE7kldw7REuyFLEOHbIk0C-iBM250q-8_JSyg8O__M2kPYdx2KWMFxqAYycnq_pNMbK-iQeQveBvrNpyxGzWrKCl_Zq27AkZDVQo6krw8O82MI7xC_gYjlL7T4uFZ4J_hmkKMjuD19VZaNXBr6oRb8xzvEkpVrwU/s1280/WhatsApp%20Image%202022-08-22%20at%2011.02.28%20PM.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgIxWvQO_CigYXcFDmleeNfXcBSE7kldw7REuyFLEOHbIk0C-iBM250q-8_JSyg8O__M2kPYdx2KWMFxqAYycnq_pNMbK-iQeQveBvrNpyxGzWrKCl_Zq27AkZDVQo6krw8O82MI7xC_gYjlL7T4uFZ4J_hmkKMjuD19VZaNXBr6oRb8xzvEkpVrwU/s320/WhatsApp%20Image%202022-08-22%20at%2011.02.28%20PM.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">2. Moses and I travelled to Soroti for a 5 day Pastors conference, put on by the LEMA (Leadership Education and Missions in Africa) Institute. I stayed at the registration table most of the week, as there were over 240 participants and the hosts from Michigan didn't understand the local names or the local English. For example: "Excuse me, where does one go for a long call or short call?" Our hosts thought that a phone was being requested, but no, that question is asking "Where are the toilets?" A short call is number 1 and a long call is number 2. Are we together?!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ZqySXeLGe_CGfGcBq_BBOpzEi3XVtxADcNzkoRkO6LfOIhtdYJLiWBzBrNQBsZju9gBFN8BXF44Lvu4PnOZRwHvoFkjZX5nEG-YqQLc8jsCE4vFVT9UtJehpuGsDYB6Zd6u7dvOsv8KUOyweQKCo7w1FT5sCGIUI3efNiHYY2JA6uQhuzdkBKZbM/s3263/20220822_170445%20(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1665" data-original-width="3263" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5ZqySXeLGe_CGfGcBq_BBOpzEi3XVtxADcNzkoRkO6LfOIhtdYJLiWBzBrNQBsZju9gBFN8BXF44Lvu4PnOZRwHvoFkjZX5nEG-YqQLc8jsCE4vFVT9UtJehpuGsDYB6Zd6u7dvOsv8KUOyweQKCo7w1FT5sCGIUI3efNiHYY2JA6uQhuzdkBKZbM/s320/20220822_170445%20(2).jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">3. We attended a great workshop on Spiritual Warfare by Professor Ruth Veltkamp. She spoke about demon possession in unbelievers and demon influence amongst believers. Then she also challenged us to not only forgive our enemies or those who have hurt us, but to pray for them and BLESS them. That's another level!! We are trying to change our prayers now. The Lord is faithful!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOtsxz7YhhM13EJGxgo95lGiYINxil6DBcODFmqMSE1_zsoHN6eBtLSJEasMyjFwr-QmeUCdOrNpFQLyNZN_KCKllVQQ6YQZKo7a2p2_pB3ph6iSjbtKfRSEoMvu1QbqPyaRdGOK-9tmOkmyi973V5vpvT02qnDxRBTDlFGNnrRZBWnJ1oA7Xs4dEV/s4624/20220824_160602.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4624" data-original-width="3468" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOtsxz7YhhM13EJGxgo95lGiYINxil6DBcODFmqMSE1_zsoHN6eBtLSJEasMyjFwr-QmeUCdOrNpFQLyNZN_KCKllVQQ6YQZKo7a2p2_pB3ph6iSjbtKfRSEoMvu1QbqPyaRdGOK-9tmOkmyi973V5vpvT02qnDxRBTDlFGNnrRZBWnJ1oA7Xs4dEV/s320/20220824_160602.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">4.

At Gulu Globetrotters we wrapped up Term 2 out of 3 for this year. We have almost made our way through the 75 Stories of Hope curriculum and the kids have nailed all of the hand motions. We had a special presentation at an arts exhibition. The kids are grasping the Stories of God well and truly understanding the Hope that we have in Christ Jesus. At the moment we have a two week break, but I'm excited to be back in the classroom again soon. For three weeks I also stepped in as a substitute teacher in the Independent Learning class. I had to oversee all the students as they logged onto their own devices for Mathletics or Spellzone, or played podcasts and science videos that led to great learning conversations. I can see how my mom loves being a teacher!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5YrZiBU2HbQDJ-O9YvbP05vMJg6JvqqjLfxddI4bhuica_ZowQ6J5egvgvAN6ebdsZIZsi-0My6zdKCioxuWB7UK0-0Zq1Wkpzf4MaO1-bdPSyvgiQYNQioyEpX9ZHSh58kZ2cyfyUqPaVqKrVS8j-bwoOiuD0D2S0pL39RgMbrcbyEMZ7_QV0SVp/s1280/WhatsApp%20Image%202022-08-17%20at%2011.07.49%20AM%20(1).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5YrZiBU2HbQDJ-O9YvbP05vMJg6JvqqjLfxddI4bhuica_ZowQ6J5egvgvAN6ebdsZIZsi-0My6zdKCioxuWB7UK0-0Zq1Wkpzf4MaO1-bdPSyvgiQYNQioyEpX9ZHSh58kZ2cyfyUqPaVqKrVS8j-bwoOiuD0D2S0pL39RgMbrcbyEMZ7_QV0SVp/s320/WhatsApp%20Image%202022-08-17%20at%2011.07.49%20AM%20(1).jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Microphone Mondays or Water Bottle Tuesdays is what I do as a time of review... pretending to be a Radio show host at GGT FM.

It was a course on developing God leaders and I partnered up with Luke and Rapha from World Embrace, Gulu, to run 5 discipleship classes a week. </p><p style="text-align: center;">We praise God for this group. They were blessed with a big breakfast, a time of worship, a few speeches, a certificate, Bible, and a few other prizes and treasures. One young man memorized every verse perfectly of the 15 week course and went home with all the chocolate bars!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHgt9hMmzNXBBpPwiDi_eruIGdE9hEdMez08pASklxoTy-92ML7s2bv1tA4j2wOVEhlKuxQkkJ_7hXe-1rhcpWJXWUN_LCw5NI9mugLUbiwmxf28d1__G3MD-tnw-oBbX8kWwY9GRvo_1OlrKiXPt7EWhExQz2HcW51_Yyx9CKzQXirounCYFsrVvt/s1280/Lead%20Today%20Grad%20(53).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It took two nights before I realized there was a huge dent on my forehead and skull. The next day I started feeling a lot of pain, nausea, and headaches. I progressively got worse over the weekend. And since it was school break and I didn't have to teach for two weeks, Moses made the decision to take me to Kampala. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgvIwQUwrpDLqhDqkAPKjzQ5hVNEOsA8J0nuzYChAA2khTAjQD65l1GEywvmtLl7Usnu5GsOLd5NxyQRsjsrobvsXIUN786rhrIZiIevew8QvLTdoJMdAWS9ambTqkpJKgPh6xDuJivS2Kf68YG7skSHS6c3-BdN41XaLYUHroDmWglNePt5o6o4Se/s1280/WhatsApp%20Image%202022-06-01%20at%209.16.55%20PM%20(1).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgvIwQUwrpDLqhDqkAPKjzQ5hVNEOsA8J0nuzYChAA2khTAjQD65l1GEywvmtLl7Usnu5GsOLd5NxyQRsjsrobvsXIUN786rhrIZiIevew8QvLTdoJMdAWS9ambTqkpJKgPh6xDuJivS2Kf68YG7skSHS6c3-BdN41XaLYUHroDmWglNePt5o6o4Se/s320/WhatsApp%20Image%202022-06-01%20at%209.16.55%20PM%20(1).jpeg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sleeping during the 6 hour drive</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="text-align: center;">I think we were both scared by the time one week had past.

Thankfully the pain and nausea has disappeared and I only occasionally am slow in speech. The kids I teach have noticed that I am slower in processing, but they are so good to me. This class has seen me for months now, come to class with a water bottle because of the constant coughing to do chronic acid reflux, and they have become so patient, caring and forgiving. I'm glad I am still able to teach every day!!</div>Karebearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11043825780221994680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3959518805147493526.post-4862811242356531112022-05-18T07:22:00.000-07:002022-05-18T07:22:39.519-07:00Jesus as Undercover Boss<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Wrapping up Week 15 of the "Lead Today" series that I have been co-teaching, the lesson focused on Jesus as the perfect servant leader. Jesus really is a very unexpected role-model. Over the weeks, we pondered 5 levels of leadership.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">"The beginning level of leadership is POSITION. Most people start on this level with others. Real leadership growth begins at Level 2, where you earn the ability to influence others by building a relationship with them. Once you have gained their trust over time, you can begin to help them be successful and productive as part of the team. PERMISSION. This is a high level of accomplishment as a leader, as is moving to Level 3. PRODUCTION. But excellent leaders pursue moving to Level 4, where they invest in others helping them become better leaders. PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT. Only the very best leaders ever make it to Level 5. They do this by spending a lifetime serving, leading, and investing in others.

He knew me before I was born. He gave up His pinnacle position on the throne and came to earth in the position of a human baby. Jesus influenced those around Him, but more importantly, He has greatly influenced my life.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs7K9YpRzM2VkrosMs6v06LJgazwBnm8rd6XpV6sks3jOqn2a5kE5Wo1b5sVlgr4jYwBI80vbH7nI59Hy1bKcQ_w8zEBWi0pn6eTvYehPkeJrNfxCCQXErd7nlna-cgym98btZ_-eSjF3YyeXwQNJl1RzMBnotFS66vlK-_E2TbRtVdOXq4Brposoa/s711/WhatsApp%20Image%202022-05-18%20at%203.49.56%20PM_LI.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="711" data-original-width="498" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs7K9YpRzM2VkrosMs6v06LJgazwBnm8rd6XpV6sks3jOqn2a5kE5Wo1b5sVlgr4jYwBI80vbH7nI59Hy1bKcQ_w8zEBWi0pn6eTvYehPkeJrNfxCCQXErd7nlna-cgym98btZ_-eSjF3YyeXwQNJl1RzMBnotFS66vlK-_E2TbRtVdOXq4Brposoa/s320/WhatsApp%20Image%202022-05-18%20at%203.49.56%20PM_LI.jpg" width="224" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have been watching a few episodes of "Undercover Boss" lately, and while sitting in class, I imagined Jesus being the ultimate leader in an undercover position. Jesus gave up His Heavenly throne, to be the Son of a carpenter. Jesus learned, taught, and experienced. He has been through mockery, rejection, hunger, tiredness, denial, homelessness, and so much more, so that He could die in my place. Christ had a crown of thorns placed on His divinely human head, so that I could become a part of the Kingdom of Heaven.</div><div style="text-align: center;">My eternal King has already sat down in my heart and had a chat with me. I know that I have a place in eternal glory with Him. I'm a part of the company of Saints. I have so much to keep learning from my boss - patience, forgiveness, discernment, wisdom, courage, clarity of speech and more. At the same time, I rejoice that I get to be a part of the Kingdom business already - teaching Bible to primary students, leading discipleship classes, digging into His Holy Word and sharing it with others, serving as a missionary in Gulu, Uganda, and being His hands and feet on behalf of a few churches and saints in North America.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Right now, my heart is blessed to have Christ as the Leader of my Life.</div> <p></p>Karebearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11043825780221994680noreply@blogger.com0
