They will run and not grow weary
I trust your day is off to a great start! It’s day #2 and we are counting down to Sunday November 1—the first official service on the new property for City Worship Centre.
First of all, let me start by saying thank you to those that have responded to my daily email updates and also to those that have sowed financial seeds to help us relocate to our new home. We are praying for a 100 fold return on your seed and believe God is a rewarder of those that seek Him as you fund the building of the Kingdom of God here in Austin! We really appreciate your prayers, your love gifts, and your encouraging words.
Though it has turned cold with this last front, we missed the really bad rain and thunderstorms—thank you Lord! Over the next few days, we are working on the floor of the tent and are finishing up the electrical needs. Our Kid’s Centre teams have been working to get the nurseries and kids church ready to roll for Sunday morning and are doing a great job. Also, the video guys are doing advance preparations to get the studio operational once again.
There are so many little things that need to be done and sometimes we want to feel the burden to get everything done immediately! However, we must wait on the Lord and follow His leading. If the tent isn’t completely finished out by the weekend, we will still have services on the property—even if it’s under the trees! I hear the weather this weekend is going to be absolutely beautiful!
I wanted to remind you of a familiar passage of scripture that would be good for us to pray and agree on—especially in times like these:
Isaiah 40:28-31 says,
“28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint”.
Friends, we are not interested in building our own kingdom and our hope is not in our own ability but our hope and our faith is in the Lord! So, even in busy and stressful times, we can find our strength renewed and we can run the race He has called us to run without getting weary or quitting before the finish line.
We are praying for you today as well. May God’s favor, grace and blessing be upon you. May you find strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. May you soar far above the worries and cares of this world and may you know His presence like never before.
If you are within driving distance (or flying distance!!) and could join us, we would love to invite you to celebrate with us this coming weekend.
We would consider it an honor to have you join the celebration! Equip classes begin at 9:00 and the service is at 10:00!
The address to the new property is 13550 Hwy 290 W—Austin TX 78737. We are only about 5 miles west of the old location—just west of the Polo Club.
Until tomorrow—much blessings,
Ps Joe and Becky and the team
