Book Review Friday: 2 Samuel 12-15

I must say, that "only" one thing jumped INTO me this week, but it was straight from the Lord and you know how D-E-E-P He can cause His Word to jump.

2 Samuel 12:7-8
This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I gave your master's house to you, and your master's wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if all this had been too little, I would have given you even more.'

It's a very long story, but - in short - the Lord is birthing a healing ministry at our church, which will come forth under my leadership. I was feeling completely and utterly inadequate to conduct the initial "info meeting" on Sunday. What was I to say? There are still so many unknowns. There was a fear rising up in me and that's when the Lord broke through with His Word, fed my heart, and transformed my being.

If all this had been too little, I would have given you even more.

Though our situations are vastly different, I heard the same God that David did. The One who is faithful to provide for the ministry He's called us to. I could create a substantial list of the details the Lord has given for this ministry - not the least of which is its name, BRING THEM TO ME Ministries (from Mark 9) - and though there truly is much that I have yet to know, I DO have enough to go forward in the confidence of His presence, perfection, provision and faithfulness.

This week in God's Word and presence was transforming. It corrected my perspective and enabled me to lead His people with TRUTH. Glory to Him!

(this post was originally much longer, but I lost it into the swirl of cyberspace and am now summarizing even further ...)
