Well, the past few days have been really uneventful.
Monday night was interesting (for a better choice of words). Please continue to pray for my family as we continue to struggle through a possible divorce. I really believe that mom and dad are trying at it (though i don't see any drastic changes, but subtle ones). Pray that their priorities will become God centered and then everything will fall in place.
We so often put God on the back burner of our lives. I am guilty of it at times. God is working on that with me (especially with the devotional I am now doing along with everyone else at Mountaintop). The past few days have been amazing in my walk with God. He has really spoken to me through His life-giving Word. I am thankful for His blessings in my life and my relationship with a real, loving Creator.
Tonight I join my brothers and sisters in Christ at Mountaintop in worshipping the Father. I cannot wait to see how God moves there tonight. It may be an ordinary Wednesday night, but I am praying that God will speak to someone's heart and that I can help minister to others. I am thankful for the call that God has placed on my life. I feel whole-heartedly that He is still calling me to vocational ministry through worship leading. He is reaffirming it daily by strengthening me to be the man He wants me to be.
Lord, I praise you for who you are. Thank you for saving me and calling me to lead a life devoted to you and to your church. Please be with my brothers and sisters at Mountaintop tonight as we come to seek your will for our lives and may your Holy Spirit speak to us tonight. Lord, I love you. Thank you for Jesus, and its in His name I pray. Amen.
It is so neat that God can speak to us through His word. As I was reading our first day's devotion, Genesis 1, I at first thought of how I knew this story and I doubted that I would get much from it. But I was wrong in doubting the awesome power of the Word of God that never returns void. As I read the scriptures, God began to speak to me through His word in a way that applied to my life, right here, right now. He really spoke to me in Genesis 1:29-30 ("Then God said, 'Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and hte small animals that scurry along the ground--everything that has life.' And that is what happened") and I began to think of how he provides for me just like he provided for us in His Creation. Not only did He give us life, but he provides for us even today. He has given me all i need, not necessarily what I want...which is GOOD! He really is Jehovah Jireh, My Provider!
To my fellow Mountaintopers that read this, if you have yet to get the devotional book and use it in your daily devotion, you are really missing out. Go by Harvest and pick up a copy TODAY and see what God has to tell you.
God is AWESOME!!
