Worthy of Praise

"Also with the lute I will praise You- And Your faithfulness, O my God! To You I will sing with the harp, O Holy One of Israel. My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You, and my soul, which You have redeemed." - Psalm 71:22-23

It's been a good day. Although my car is still dead, God provided transportation to church today. Afterwards, I had an awesome afternoon with my small group from church. We went and visited the Micah Project, another ministry here in Tegucigalpa. Micah Project works primarily with boys that they help get off the street and help them have a better life. We had an awesome lunch of tipico foods. We had a tour of both the house for the teenage boys, and the leadership house where those 18 and older live. I have visited once before, and am blessed to see the work God is doing through Micah Project. It is awesome to see all the ministries that are working in Tegucigalpa, helping the poor, and ministering to the lost. God's hand is truly in this troubled country.

After my visit to the Micah Project, I went to visitation. Our ministry is required to have supervised visitation once a month for any family members of our kids that are registered with the government. We have it at a school in the city for about two hours. It is a difficult time for those with no family, and also for those who have family but are unable to live with them. I stayed there until about 4:00, and then got a ride home back to the ranch.

As I reflected on the day, I just had to praise God. Although things have been difficult lately, God has proven Himself faithful, as always. He provided transportation. He provided safety. He provided a good time of fellowship. While at Micah House, I found out the girl who had her computer stolen had it returned to her (through a miraculous series of events). Even in times of difficulty, God is always with us and taking care of us. He is the Rock of Salvation. He is truly worthy of our praise.
