22Whether the cloud lingered for two days, a month, or longer, the Israelites camped and did not set out as long as the cloud remained over the tabernacle; but when it was lifted, they would set out. 23They camped at the LORD’s command, and they set out at the LORD’s command; they carried out the LORD’s charge according to His command through Moses.
The Lords Charge
When we came to Christ and were “born again” He laid on our hearts 💕 His orphans. It led to something unbelievable for my wife and I, two selfish people that decided not to have children to care for His orphans. It started with a request at a church service for an adoption agency, but it was one of those agencies that charged a fee and after a meeting the Holy Spirit quickly closed the door to that particular agency. We went to another agency and after several meetings we were transformed from from foster care to adoption, wanting and infant to an unwanted ten year old. We quickly knew this was His choice because the child’s name was Jesus! Our friends said we were nuts and tried to dissuade us but the Lord persuaded us that this was the correct child. Was it easy? NO! Did He walk with us? Yes! Did He provide the necessary tools? Yes! Did our church help? Yes! Did our church family help? Yes!
We provided a loving home to a child that his own birth family didn’t want.
We weren’t perfect but our Lord walked with us every minute.
We planted a seed and he recently told us, “you helped me through a very hard time in my life”.
What has the Lord charged you with? Did you follow through?
Blessings
