The Advance Team
February 14, 2018
My Fathers house has many rooms; . . . I am going there to prepare a place for you.
John 14:2
A friend recently prepared to relocate to a city more than 1,000 miles from her current hometown. She and her husband divided the labor of moving to accommodate a short timeline. He secured new living arrangements, while she packed their belongings. I was astounded by her ability to move without previewing the area or participating in the house hunt, and asked how she could do so. She acknowledged the challenge but said she knew she could trust her husband because of his attention to her preferences and needs over their years together.
In the upper room, Jesus spoke with His disciples of His coming betrayal and death. The darkest hours of Jesuss earthly life, and that of the disciples as well, lay ahead. He comforted them with the assurance that He would prepare a place for them in heaven, just as my friends husband prepared a new home for their family. When the disciples questioned Jesus, He pointed them to their mutual history and the miracles theyd witnessed Him perform. Though they would grieve Jesuss death and absence, He reminded them He could be counted on to do as Hed said.
Even in the midst of our own dark hours, we can trust Him to lead us forward to a place of goodness. As we walk with Him, we too will learn to trust increasingly in His faithfulness.
Help me, Lord, to lean on You when my life feels uncertain and hard. You are trustworthy and good.
We can trust God to lead us through difficult times.

Good Morning, Kitty Mittens and All:
Late Night Schemes
Unexpected Naps are a curious Kitten's Kryptonite
That sneak up busily when exploring or deciding upon Fight or Flight
When chasing down the rare Dust Bunny. For they are odd, unsettling slights
Or challenging the perils of The Big Long Chair for a view not seen before
Which is where I found myself after a leap or two from the safety of the floor
To indulge in some impromptu Spelunking which thrilled me to my core
Then feeling "Gravity" pull me down to land in this most undignified pose
One I have never experienced. With my head bowed between my toes
Appearing insignificant as I wait for "Gravity" to turn its back
As I prepare for another much more strenuous attack!
Jack Deth~ 02/15/2018.

Following Where He Leads
February 15, 2018
Then [Elisha] set out to follow Elijah and became his servant.
1 Kings 19:21
As a child, I looked forward to our churchs Sunday evening services. They were exciting. Sunday night often meant we got to hear from missionaries and other guest speakers. Their messages inspired me because of their willingness to leave family and friendsand at times, homes, possessions, and careersto go off to strange, unfamiliar, and sometimes dangerous places to serve God.
Like those missionaries, Elisha left many things behind to follow God (1 Kings 19:1921). Before God called him into service through Elijah, we dont know much about Elishaexcept that he was a farmer. When the prophet Elijah met him in the field where he was plowing, he threw his cloak over Elishas shoulders (the symbol of his role as prophet) and called him to follow. With only a request to kiss his mother and father goodbye, Elisha immediately sacrificed his oxen, burned his plowing equipment, said good-bye to his parentsand followed Elijah.
Though not many of us are called to leave family and friends behind to serve God as fulltime missionaries, God wants all of us to follow Him and to live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to [us], just as God has called [us] (1 Corinthians 7:17). As Ive often experienced, serving God can be thrilling and challenging no matter where we areeven if we never leave home.
Dear Lord, equip us to be Your missionaries wherever You have placed usnear or far, at home or abroad.
God will show us how to serve Him wherever we are.
Elisha followed Elijah in ministry to his generation, and that pattern was not unique. In the final moments of the exodus, Mosesthe leader and lawgiver of Israelwas succeeded by Joshua, who had been at his side for forty years. Centuries later, Jesus would follow John the Baptist (the second Elijah of Malachi 4:5 and Matthew 11:14) in proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom. These patterns of forerunners and followers are tied together by one of the most significant indicators in Scripturenames. The names of the three who followed Moses, Elijah, and John in ministryJoshua, Elisha, and Jesusall mean the same thing: the Lord saves. Throughout the years, this has been the confidence of the people of God. God saves us by His grace and then empowers us by His Spirit to follow Him and serve others where He places us.
Where has God called you to serve?
