Full Transcript

God lives and works today. He is a God who enjoys doing good things for His children, and He takes an interest even in our smallest concerns. In our program today, we will hear about a woman in Switzerland who experienced this wonderful reality.

She wrote to us. I take care of the Praise Chapel in Eschy, Switzerland. This chapel was built in the midst of the beautiful Swiss countryside by the Sisterhood of Mary to call people to rejoice and praise the Creator.

Part of my work involves speaking in different groups about the reality of God and how He performs miracles today. A friend and I share about the little Praise Chapel and show a slide series about the Sisterhood of Mary. To do this, we desperately needed a projector table which could be transported easily from place to place.

However, the only one that suited our needs and would fit into our little car was far too expensive. My friend and I looked at our meager budget and thought, but we do need it so urgently, and it is for the Lord's work. Therefore, we decided to take a dare of faith and order the projector table anyway, trusting that the Lord would provide the money.

Without our telling anyone, of course. And God did not disappoint us. By the day the table arrived, we had received enough money and gifts to pay for it.

We even had about two francs left over. Let all the world lift up its voice In God's great goodness now rejoice And let all his glory sing to him His wonderful renaissance We know not how Now all of us are not called to go this particular way of faith in regards to material things. However, we are all called to a childlike faith in our Lord Jesus and Heavenly Father.

Only those who have a childlike faith can pray and receive God's gifts. The prayers of the little ones rise through the clouds, and our Heavenly Father is interested in everything about us, yes, even our smallest concerns. Therefore, commit yourself to being a true child, to being small and humble.

Then you too, in your particular needs, will experience how God enjoys doing good things for his children. Then your prayers will have power. Who can plan, who has sense All the Father wants to bless He loves giving, helping, aiding All his children gently leading That they all may find true joy You are kind, always kind Only love to us we find Joyfully we praise your mercy Father, you are love, love only You are good, so good to us You have been listening to a program written by Basilea Schlink of the Little Land of Canaan.
