“The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about eighteen pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.”
Matthew 13:33
Last Monday as we drove in to Svay Pak for the first time I looked around and part of me thought that what we were about to do was a total waste of time and energy. What difference could this little place, called Rahab's House, make in this cesspool?
This weekend I have had the privilege of visiting two little heavens on earth and seeing angel after angel. The work of ARC and Rescue are making a difference. Why?
Becasue that's the way Jesus said the Kingdom of God would break in to this world. These two small projects are growing and growing and impacting and impacting. Praise Jesus!
So what about Rahab's House? Could it be the yeast that is needed in Svay Pak? Yes, oh yes! I have been inspired by ARC and Rescue. But also challeneged. In order for the yeast to be effective it needs to be worked into the flour: in order for me, us, the church, to be effective we need to be worked in to the fabric and make-up of society and not sit idle at the sidelines and watch the world go by.
I am so looking forward to the drive in to Svay Pak on Monday morning. Right now it is not something I would wish to eat - but perhaps with a little yeast, this place could be transformed in to another little heaven on earth in this land.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your Kingdom come ... on earth as it is in heaven.
Amen.
Marty
