To my Almighty Father, I give all praise, all honor, and all glory.
When I was led to take the first step in setting up a new work, I sought the Lord in prayer. I asked Him to direct every detail, every decision. At that point, I didn’t see the full picture—I simply moved forward in obedience, trusting Him. I chose to proceed quietly and simply, without involving others formally, though I wrestled with whether or not to include someone close to the vision. The decision to leave it as it was seemed practical at the time—due to cost and possible complications.
But now, looking back, I see it was more than just practical—it was divinely guided.
Recently, a new direction opened up—an opportunity that was never considered at the beginning. And as I explored it, I discovered that had I involved the other party back then, it would have hindered this very opportunity from taking place. What looked like a small administrative choice turned out to be a shielding from the Lord. He had seen it all ahead of time.
Even more amazing: the one I considered including had already heard from the Lord separately—He told him that remaining behind the scenes was part of God’s plan, and that things would go well if he remained anonymous. At the time, it was a mystery. Now, it is clear.
“Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.” (Isaiah 45:15)
“But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.” (1 Corinthians 2:7)
Truly, our God works behind the scenes. He leads us with invisible threads of mercy, covering us with wisdom we don’t even know we need. What was hidden is now revealed in His perfect timing. I stand in awe of His faithfulness.
Thank You, Lord, for going before me. For ordering my steps even when I didn’t understand. For preparing every detail with such care. You are the One who opens doors no man can shut. You are the One who guides with unmatched wisdom. May every part of this journey testify of Your goodness and be used for Your glory.
All praise and glory be to You, now and forever.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
