It kinda crazy to think that last year this time I was in Africa serving the Oku people through promoting and learning their language. My heart and mind were in the missions mindset. Now with a year passing and much occurring it's easy to fall back into the regular routine without much thought and I have unfortunately fallen into this rut. Over the past few days in reading through Luke I have been convicted of doing this and failing to realize that I should have never left that mind set of missions or the place that my heart was in when I was leaving and on that trip.
The story of the Centurion in Luke showed me the lack of faith that I had put in Jesus over this past month. The Centurion knowing how much authority he had over his soldiers realized that it was nothing compared to the authority that Jesus had. The centurion knew that simply speaking Jesus could heal his servant and he did.
I have just like the song says, boxed God into my mind as smaller then he is. Forgetting the authority he has over all things and the power that he has. So as I move forward I am challenged to trust in this authority and power remembering that he can do all things, and I can trust that he will help me do the things I can't.
