“But you will not leave in haste or go in flight; for the Lord will go before you, the God of Israel will be your rear guard.” Isaiah 52:12
I have now been a Cape Town a couple of days! Once again it is obvious how God has gone before me in this journey! As I was reading Isaiah 52 this morning, I was reminded of how God’s promises to the Israelites remain true for us today, as we seek God’s best for our lives. These promises remain true for me today, this week, the month here in Cape Town! I tend to get worried and anxious about the unfamiliar and unknown, but I must remember the countless ways God has gone before me. I must trust that He will continue to do so, each new day! I take comfort in this promise!
God has definitely gone before me in logistics and getting settled into life here. The place where I am living is perfectly located for this season of exploration and discernment here in Cape Town. I am a couple short blocks away from Main Road, which is a major street for public transportation. There are is a grocery store, internet cafe, shops, restaurants, and ATM machines all within walking distance! God went before me in my visit last March, when I met some wonderful, hospitable people working with a ministry called Shade. Philomene and Greg have been so helpful getting me started here.
God also went before me in Sierra Leone. My time with Cami, Faye, Noah, and other new friends there was so good. I am thankful for their hospitality and friendship. It was a sweet time of sharing life together and catching up! I have much to learn from their leadership, heart, and example, as they serve and grow closer to Jesus there in Freetown.
This is only the beginning….I know there are many more ways God has gone before me! I look forward to seeing it all unfold, as I take things one day, one step at a time here in Cape Town! Thank you for your prayers as I continue to get settled in, find my way around, and connect with people and ministries serving here.
