Keeper, Sustainer
"Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." Psalm 127:1

There is a principle here: It is the LORD that builds, it is the LORD that keeps. He is the establisher, keeper, and sustainer of all our work.

God brought this verse to mind today as I was talking to someone about our work in Taiwan, expressing our concern for the church there--especially the Chinese ministry. We really feel the burning desire to return and continue the work that has been started. I guess our natural fear is that without the presence of the shepherd (missionary/pastor) the sheep will weaken and scatter. Ah! But the GOOD SHEPHERD is the One who is building the work. He orchestrated the events that have affected our life and work at this point in time. We must trust Him for the ultimate outcome.

Chemo session #10 began today. Continue to pray for endurance and healing.
Pray for our Taiwan church and for God's blessing on it.

I sure am glad God is the best shepherd, aren't you? It's kind-of like our kids - we can try to "keep" them together, but God is the glue that works best....without our help! :) Thanks for being an encouragement to me!

Love,
Liz

There is nothing more powerful than those in prayer, I we are praying as God says continually, with faith and our faith is larger than a mustard seed so mountains will be moved and people cured!!
In His abiding love, Becky
