My soul blessed God for what he is in himself, and adored him, that he ever would display himself to creatures. I rejoiced that he was God, and longed that all should know it, and feel it, and rejoice in it. Lord, glorify thyself,' was the desire and cry of my soul. Oh that all people might love and praise the blessed God; that he might have all possible honour and glory from the intelligent world!
For a long time now I've been reading The Life of David Brainerd. I'm almost done. I don't think I've found anyone more challenging to my objections against going on mission.
Wonderful to know you're reading this dangerous stuff.
ReplyDeleteIs mission work of some sort or another on your radar?
It's an option. I've always said I didn't want to go on mission as a single guy. But I have been challenged by this book to never put limitations on God.
ReplyDeleteIf David Brainerd had that mindset, he would have died alone and the American Indians would not have heard the gospel. Not to mention people like Robert Murray McCheyne wouldn't have read his diary and gone off to do their amazing work serving Jesus.
I finish Uni at the end of the year, so I'm unsure what that's going to mean for my future.
