As God would have it, a young man was transferred from London to our city, Bristol. He was on a contract with Air Bus and it was a temporary arrangement. He joined the church and fitted in perfectly. He became one of the pillars in the church and ended up getting a lecturing post in one of our main universities after his contract with Air Bus ended. God ordered his steps and he got to know this sister. The next twelve and half or so months they developed a friendship and to the glory of God, last weekend they got married.
Although it seemed as though there was no hope for her in our church, God sent someone from another city to be an answer to her prayers. Her family and friends had also been praying for her. The family and friends of our new son were praying for a godly wife for him. We all judged God faithful and held onto His promises to answer our prayers and to meet our needs, and He did. Even to the wedding day we continued to trust God for the provision that was needed, and He showed Himself faithful. It all came to pass in God's perfect timing. There was great rejoicing as we all celebrated with them, their families and friends. You will surely rejoice with your family and friends as your prayers are answered. God is faithful. He will surely bring it to pass.
As we finish off the first quarter of the year, I want to encourage you to continue to trust in God, to depend on Him, and to wait for Him. Do not give up on Him, keep your eyes on Him. He will surely come through for you and your family. Whatever it is you are waiting for, have faith in God. Faithful is He who has promised and He will do it for you.
Grace, wisdom and strength be multiplied to you. We are praying for you and have a blessed rest of the month.
