Yount's testimony is one of those stories that reminds us that God's plan for us may not always coincide with the plans we are attempting to make for ourselves. Yount made reference to Daniel and the manner in which God called him to serve the kingdom - and it most certainly wasn't easy for Daniel! But just as Daniel did, Yount curbed his own ideas and agenda to allow God to call him into action - where He wanted and when He wanted.
Having recently started my own company (Frogman Interactive), I have certainly struggled to 'control' all of the aspects of running a business - let alone the many aspects of my life as a struggling Christian. But if the testimonies shared at the lodge have reminded me of anything, it's definitely that God is in control. Always.
How did Yount (and Daniel) do it? One word - prayer. Here's that great quote Yount shared by Martin Tupper:
"Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence."
I also liked this gem: "Not praying with your wife in the morning is like giving up a gimme putt."
I'm grateful Yount shared the wonderful news of his missionary work with NCS. To make a financial contribution to Yount's mission, click here to make an online donation using the form found at the bottom of the page.
As for the prevalence of prayer in this posting - how's this for timing? Check out this photo of the praying mantis on my office window Friday afternoon. -David
