Today is a little something different. I am working on writing a biography of my dear friend, Michael Masambu of Kenya. After the great Kenya youth conference headed by him in December, he was physically exhausted. I was honored to speak there to 4,800 youth and was likewise spent. So, today I’m sharing his Facebook comment, posted shortly after the meetings.
Owing to my background – my difficult childhood, I am this person that thinks I must work for the next meal. I worked for the next meal at a very tender age. I worked for the next meal under harsh conditions. I worked for my notebook, for my pensil and for my pen 🖋. I could only move to the next level if I worked. I ate because I had worked. I bought a shirt because I worked for it. My parents didn’t provide much because dad was too old and mom was too poor and over burdened. I worked to pay for my High School and College. I worked as a carpenter. I made beds, I made chairs, I made all manner of furniture. I overworked! I hurt my chest.
I am a pathfinder. I am a ground breaker. This is what life has given me. Today I realize things changed the day He became my Dad. He doesn’t grow old. He is the same Yesterday today and forever. He budgets for His kids. I am His Kid. If His Kid, then all my needs are made! What I have today came from him. What I need tomorrow will come from Him. It is my duty to be found by Him. He is Elshadai! He is Yehovah Yireh! Learn to trust him. Being a mule on the go always is denying that He cares.Yet He truly cares! Rest. Wait upon him. Those who wait upon the Lord shall be Strengthened. Hallelujah. Free at last! Free at last! MKM
I thank God for Michael and his dear wife, Sarah. Let’s pray for them as they continue in the Father’s vineyard.
But those who wait on Yehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
Pray for Kenya, pray for Jerusalem and pray for rain.

Elisha Vision - Commentary 
Food for thought: In Isaiah 40:31 the word wait in Hebrew is very interesting. It means an-intertwining of two thoughts, in this case our thoughts with God’s thoughts. The word is Kawa. It is not a static waiting where nothing is happening (not unlike the waiting at a red light for it to turn green. ) Rather it is when we stop and take the time to intertwine our thoughts with God’s thoughts and in the course of doing this our strength is supernaturally intertwined with God‘s strength and it recharges us, so to speak. “ In that day you will know that I am in my Father, you and Me, and I In you.”
