This past Sunday the ministry team I travel on was at a church in Tampa. This was the first time we were out since ending the summer at the beginning of August. It felt good to be back together and brought back fond memories of the summer (on which I plan to blog sometime).
It is amazing that before going into any situation (or service) God knows exactly what will happen. He knows exactly His plan and purpose. He knows what He is doing. Even though this was our first time back, and yes, a little rusty and at times confusing, God still worked through us. The songs we sang and played and a message preached by a VP of ours touched the hearts of these people at the right time. Sometimes its hard to express, but I believe we received genuine responses from people who needed this ministry at that very time. Of course, this ministry is the Lord's and it would be utterly sinful to take any glory (not to say that I never have). But it is fulfilling to know that we have been used of God in His purposes and for that I thank Him.

Isn't the omniscient - and thus perfect - planning of God glorious?? So that, regardless of appearance of spontaneity, deformity, or discontinuity the events of our lives may be, we can bask in the wisdom that God had planned the entire event even to the direction in which the street dust blew. The most glorious moments of Philadelphia were those which were least planned, and therefore most clearly those which God was in control of.
P.S. Very exuberant to see you writing.
Thanks for sharing that Sean. Sometimes it is hard to see where God is leading and what He is planning, but we need to know its ok. God is sovereign and and ever faithful. Amen!
