Where do you find the blessings and safety of God in a world that is getting more violent and crazy every day? Terrorist are found in every nation. Murder, theft, rape, and every kind of evil can be found today. We are living in days that are like the days of Noah. A world full of sin and wickedness.
There is only one place in this world where we can be safe and where God greatly blesses. Only one place in all the world where you will find true unadulterated peace. Do you see the picture above? Those people have found that one place where God blesses and give them peace. That place is in Vanuatu where they are missionaries translating the scriptures into a language that never had the written word of God before.
They live on an island in a native village, far from civilization, with their families. If there is any serious accidents or sickness, it would take many hours to get to civilization where they can be treated. Their lives are wholly in God's hands.
Does that mean you need to go to Vanuatu also? NO! You need to find the will of God for your life. The missionaries above live in a primitive village in the jungle because they are truly living in God's will. They are safer there in the hand of God than if they were anywhere in the United States, outside of God's will.
When did God bless Abraham? Not when he sat safely in his home at Ur of the Chaldees. It would have been easy to stay there comfortably living his life out, but God called him away from there and from his family. It was not until Abraham walked in the will of God that he was blessed and found greatness.
Many of us must leave our comfort zones if we want to live in God's will. We have to leave the safety of the known, to find the blessings of the unknown. Do you dare to follow God or does fear stop you from living in the hand of God?
To follow the missionaries at Vanuatu add them as friends on Facebook.
