ARE
WE THERE YET?
Newsletter March '08
Rainier Christian Schools
has been on a long and marvelous journey. We are
celebrating because through this last year we crossed many
rivers and scaled the peaks of that next mountain range.
We are now able to look out over the valley before us and
see some of the blessings our Lord has planned for us.
“For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a
future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to
me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me
when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by
you,” declares the Lord, (Jeremiah 29:11-14).
We have not yet arrived at our final destination, we have
not accomplished our full purpose, we have not attained
the level of excellence to which Christ has called us, but
He is leading us on to a hope and a future, and we press
on. We have come very far and we should celebrate, we
should remember the wonderful things our God has done and
thank Him for His provision. This celebration cannot just
be about what He has done, but must also be about the hope
and the future He has planned for us. This celebration
must motivate us and strengthen us to “press on toward
the goal to win the prize for which God has called
us.”(Philippians 3:14)
As we move forward to preach the Word and build-up
the
Kingdom
of
God
through Christian
education we will encounter many difficulties, problems,
impossibilities, and maybe even a few giants. We will have
opportunity to doubt, complain, draw back, or even quit.
May God Himself guard our hearts and minds that we will
remember what He has done, see what He is doing, and
believe He has a good plan for our future that will
glorify Him.
“I will never leave you or forsake you. Be strong and
courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit
the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. Be
strong and very courageous…Have I not commanded you? Be
strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be
discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you
wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:5-9)
We are not there yet, but we are in the company of the
Lord and He will be faithful to deliver us safely to our
final destination where we will give Him praise and glory
for all eternity.
