November 25
This morning I was invited to go back to Jinja – the others were going in to the Internet Café. Of course, my knee jerk reaction was to want to go and connect with home and the outside world, talk to my wife, post to my blog, shop for the boys. But twice I was prompted not to go. I backed down and was then talked into going again, and then (very unlike me) as we got to the car I just told the others I wasn’t going, that I needed to stay here and that I didn’t know why. This always sounds so weird and ‘spiritual’ but that was all I could say. I walked over to the kitchen shelter to see Jaja Mary and talked with the boys for about an hour or so. I connected with Bob and we decided not to do any computer work until next week. It is strange because all I thought I’d really be doing was computer stuff and I will have been here a week before we even touch the computers… I have yet to even see the computer lab???
I’ve come back to journal, and to read the word. I read this Psalm and it spoke to my heart…
Psalm 34:3-5 (ESV)
[3] Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!
[4] I sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
[5] Those who look to him are radiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed.
How perfect is the Word of the Lord! Yes, Lord… as I preach on Sunday may we magnify your name and glorify You... I have sought you and I trust you that you have heard my cry, my need, and have delivered me from all my fears! Make us radiant as we look to you and may we never be ashamed. May I speak your Word boldly without shame or fear as it is translated and shared with this community of Christians. Make your Word clear, and simple, and understandable to all of us as I speak. Teach me in my heart, give words to my mouth, that your Spirit would speak your truth through me. I give thanks to the Lord for He is Good, His mercies endure forever.
Blessings to you ~ Steadman
