My experience in Spain has been eye opening to my faith in many ways. It is defiantly out of my comfort zone. It is a new culture, a new language, a new house to live in, new people surrounding me, new surroundings, and a new school to get use to all at the same time! I went for a run the other day and was wrestling with God and just asking Him why he put me in the surroundings, and thanking Him that “my ways are not His ways” Isaiah 55:8 and I came back to my house and God gave me an answer in my devotional that said “How many of us are set upon Jesus Christ slaking our thirst when we ought to be satisfying Him? We should be pouring out now, spending to the last limit, not drawing on Him to satisfy us. “Ye shall be witnesses unto me”- that means a life unsullied, uncompromising and unbribed devotion to the Lord Jesus, a satisfaction to Him wherever He places us.” (My Upmost for His Highest.) I live to bring glory to God and I should be focusing on how I can satisfy Him where he has placed me rather then relying on Him to give me comfort in my surroundings. Now, will I rely on Him and pray for comfort? Of course! But that shouldn’t be my main focus.
