| "The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quite you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:15 |
Many of you know I play the piano, but what you may not know is that since we have moved to Ecuador we have tried several times to buy a piano. In Ecuador pianos are like cars, they hold their value very well and tend to be expensive. These last five years have been the longest stretch in my life to go without a piano in my home. Last week I got an email from a friend in Quito saying they had to move and was I interested in her piano. You bet I was, yet I knew our financial circumstances. So I said to her, "We can only make payments, and we can't start until we return in June." To which, she said, "Great, and we'll arrange to have it moved to your house, it will be waiting for you."
I can't even describe the joy I feel, just knowing that piano is at home waiting for me. And then I was reminded of the verse God had given me right before we started our home ministry assignment, which is above from Zephaniah. He was reminding me of every promise in that verse:
~He is with me
~He will save me
~He will take great delight in me
~He will quiet me with His love
~He will rejoice over me with singing
And to prove it, He sent me a piano just waiting for me at home.
