“Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.”

William Carey · Sermon in Nottingham, May 30, 1792

Scripture

Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Reflection

In his 1792 sermon, William Carey said: "Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God." All day today, we've been updating systems, migrating our working platform to a new computer, and version 1.7.4 is now live—faithfulness in small things. Though our website can no longer be accessed in mainland China, traffic continues to grow. This is not our doing, but God making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. When doors are closed, the way remains; may the Lord lead us out of this dilemma. Tomorrow is a day off for the kids, and we're going to the movies; even heavy rain cannot dampen our family's joy.
