Ukraine Prayer # 468

1/29/2024

 
Ira Kapitonova
And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.
Genesis 12:2-3
Today, we talked with my students about Abraham and his obedience to God. He knew God and trusted Him enough to leave his country and his father's house and go where God called him. There was no danger to Abraham's life if he stayed (to be honest, quite the opposite was true), yet there was a promise of blessing if he obeyed.
 
Long after our discussion with the students was over, the passage about the call of Abraham stayed in the back of my mind, along with the thoughts about the challenges we, as adults/teachers/parents, face in Ukraine. Only when I sat down to write my daily update did I realize that these two thoughts were not coincidental. One was the answer to the other. In our lives, we don't know what tomorrow holds, how things will turn out, or when God will restore peace and justice in Ukraine. However, one thing we can be certain of is that God wants us to follow His call wherever it may take us, and He is faithful to cover our needs and bless us as we faithfully persevere with Him. We may feel weary, uncertain, or unfit for the circumstances we find ourselves in, yet if God called us to be there at such a time like this, we can trust Him to take care of everything and bless us beyond our understanding.
 
I still find it incredible when God unexpectedly uses Bible lessons I prepare for my students to teach me something I need to learn today.
 
Pray for those who have chosen to stay in Ukraine, many are soldiers who had to send their wives and children abroad, others are elderly. Pray for their protection and well being and pray that they will have this perspective of Abraham.
