Greetings!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow...what a mighty God we serve.
My friend invited me to her pastor's anniversary celebration today, and we had such an awesome time in the Lord. The amazing thing about this church is its ability to bring out those God-given gifts in you. I have done things at this church that I have never done anywhere else, and I think it's because they don't expect perfection. They encourage you to do your best, and they clap, shout, and love you the whole way. I actually feel empowered when I leave there...like I could do anything, and we need that every now and then.
My pastor's message was on point today too. He came from John 10:10, and the title of his message was, "Flock Support." I love the way he delivers a powerful and life-sustaining message using everyday things. God has really anointed him as a gifted storyteller. This morning he used geese formation to address the issue of supporting and encouraging one another. The thing that really stayed with me was when he said that the geese that are honking at the end of the formation are encouraging the ones up front.
What he was saying is that when it's your time to move into position everything will be lined up to happen naturally. Just because you are at the end of the line right now, doesn't mean you are going to remain at the end of the line. If you just hold on...your time will come. In the meantime, you have to pray for and encourage the one in the lead position, because one day that could be you.
I love days like this...when God confirms His word to you. It is a reminder that God hears our prayers. He knows exactly what we need, and at the right time—He provides.
Until next time...
Be blessed
