Kampala

journal entry... walking through kampala and realizing the wealth - the western mindset/culture and how it is destroying God’s faithful here –how fast money, success… can bring us to trust in the money, trust in the good job, trust in ourselves… anything that keeps us from crying out to God for his mercy to keep us, care for us, watch over us. Wealth comes in and we forget about God –the dependency we should have on him alone – we start feeling comfortable and we get spiritually lazy –we no longer need to cry out to God on our knees – we no longer look to him for guidance –things seem to be okay with out God –ahhh what a tragedy. What a plan of the enemy to make us rich, do anything to keep us from crying out to God …its happening here in Africa – a poor nation, Uganda, once ruled by a terrible dictator Idi Amin, where people ran to God… now the nation is being rebuilt and people are getting comfortable again.. God you are restoring the brokenness that once was, and now because of the restoration people are trusting in their own wealth, good work, etc…. its becoming like the west, you God are becoming harder and harder to find.
