back and covered them and their horses. Not one of them survived. “And
when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of the Lord displayed against the
Egyptians, the people feared the Lord and put their trust in him and in Moses
his servant” (Exodus 14:31, NIV). God was fully reliable.
We can be amazed at these and many other biblical accounts showing
the trustworthiness of God. But the real test comes when we find ourselves
in what feels like an utterly hopeless situation, when the odds are overwhelming and it appears that God is inattentive, that he has shut his ears
to our pleas or has even abandoned us. It’s in these kinds of critical times,
which are common in our earthly journey, that the frog in my office reminds
us of this: we can Fully Rely On God.
God has been reliable in the past, he is fully trustworthy today, and we
can count on him fully as we move forward. In this issue of OMS Outreach
are stories depicting radical dependence upon this faithful God. They call
us to trust him when most would feel like quitting, when human hope has
dissipated. We all face those moments. The big question for us as an OMS
family is this: in times like these, will we F.R.O.G.?
Thanks again for welcoming Esther and me to this very special family!
When you’re in Greenwood, you’re welcome to come see my frog.
