Today was a great day of worshiping God! (Cliche sounding, but true!) I love when God does something different than we might expect, having a “set” order of service and all. Of course, He can change that!
God used today to do just that in even a seemingly small way. I felt led to speak during the Response time after the day’s message at our early service (a time when I normally wouldn’t). We couldn’t just sing Rise Up, O Church (Men) of God with the current transitions and struggles our church is facing without truly focusing on exactly what we are singing, and God used this coupled with a message about the Church to speak that to us today.
In sum, I felt God was asking us to grow in determination that we will intentionally rise up as a church , despite the challenges we’ve faced and continue to face. We have to be determined to rise up as the Body of Christ, filled with the power and strength that can only come from God!
My prayer is that all the things God was speaking to us as a church was truly heard in all our hearts today.
