June Devotionals: Praise You In the Storm

Psalm 121 verses one and two serve as our Bible verses for our June devotional as we reflect on our journey of the past six months. Together we answered the call of God to educate and advocate for the victims of human trafficking which culminated with an anti-human trafficking conference held with Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church in Gig Harbor on June 5, 2010. Although God met us at every turn and showed Himself strong on our behalf as we dreamed and planned, we experienced varying degrees of stress and pressure to accomplish the impossible and overcome what at times felt like the insurmountable. For a while a storm hovered, the storm clouds burst, fear of failure rained down and we wondered.

Then the Light began to come into our efforts, we believed "the One who calls you is faithful and He will do it" (I Th.5:24) and we stopped doubting. When the day of the conference arrived even the elements declared the defeat of the grim and gray. The Holy Spirit was evident as all things came together in harmony and He orchestrated a perfect day. The Word of hope went out to the people and the enemy was defeated. The Light overcame the darkness. God was faithful and He had done it. People found hope as they learned about a hopeless topic. People were equipped with ways to take action against human trafficking leaving inspired and encouraged. He has shown us again that when He gives a vision and sends the call and we step out in faith, He will do the rest. "My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of Heaven and Earth." This is our reflection and our testimony.
