Thankful Buckinghams point to the God of ‘immeasurably more’

General Lyndon and Commissioner Bronwyn Buckingham have thanked Salvationists around the world for their warm welcome as the Army’s new world leaders.

BY GENERAL LYNDON BUCKINGHAM

Bronwyn and I are taking a moment today to say thank you to Salvationists and friends from all around the world for all the cards, emails and messages of congratulations and support that we’ve received, along with the promise of prayers. We are so incredibly grateful.

There’s no doubt that we’ve been overwhelmed by so many people – some people we know, and so many more we don’t know, who have reached out to us with words of affirmation and, particularly, those who’ve offered Scripture verses to us.

And there’s one particular Scripture verse that’s come over and over in the last few weeks – Ephesians 3:20-21, from the New Living Translation.

And we are claiming it for ourselves these days, but we’re also claiming it in believing it for The Salvation Army in this next season.

And it says this: “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.”

So, Bronwyn and I are placing our confidence and our trust in the God of the immeasurably more.

We would encourage you today that, in your own personal circumstances, you too look in faith to the God of the immeasurably more. And let’s claim it by faith for The Salvation Army world.

God bless you.
