...He had sent a man

         ahead of them,

 Joseph, who was sold               

                   as a slave.

              Psalm 105. 17

(God calls us to be

    faithful right where we are,

even in the hard stuff,

affliction,

and "what in the world

   is God up to in this?"

We will not always understand,

but there will always be those

    who are coming after us.

We are just bushwhacking for them.

God sends us

       into these wilderness places

to bring the name of Jesus there,

to bear witness

             and to sow His glory,

even in what we may never see.

Not just for practical reasons

      but for His redemptive purposes.)

O LORD,

Thank You for Your hand upon us,

even in places we cannot understand.

You are working Your redemption

            of this broken world

                       through us.

Help us to serve You

    by trusting You into the thicket.

And to know that generations

       are following us

to know that You are real.
