It's mid-week and I'm still enjoying the leftovers from last Sunday morning. What a GREAT morning! A great topic, a great story, a great response at the close of both services, and a GREAT GOD who understands the unfairness of Life, and wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives.
If you find yourself paralyzed and unable to move forward because you were blind-sided by life, I want to encourage you to read through 2 Corinthians 12. You're going to get an encouraging word from Paul. He addresses the issue of, "What if God doesn't change my circumstances?" One of the possible options you'll hear him describe is the ability to view our situation through a different lens - God's lens. How God wants to use our experience for His glory and our good. Think about it.
I was so touched by the sensitivity of the people of Deer Flat as so many responded to the opportunity to be prayed over. What a great moment in both hours. The many who responded reminded me again that we all walk through the doors on Sunday looking pretty good on the outside, but so many are hurt, wounded or troubled on the inside. We ALL remain needy - because God wants us to depend more on Him and less on ourselves. You're right, it's not always comfortable, but it is a great move.
THIS SUNDAY - I will be speaking about all that's been going on in our world, and the sense of uncertainty that so many live with. The theme this week is, again, a response to the request of many, "What In The World Is Going To Happen?" I think you'll find this to be a very informational and meaning morning. It's one of those topics that is worth inviting your friend or neighbor to check out.
Don't forget - ONE SERVICE AT 10:30 A.M. FOLLOWED BY LUNCH! Don't forget to let us know you're planning on staying for lunch so we can be well prepared. Be sure to include this invitation to lunch when you invite your friends this Sunday. I'd love to meet them.
September is always a fabulous month around Deer Flat. Lots of opportunities, great Sundays and fresh encounters with the Living God! I can't wait to see you this weekend. Come expecting a great Lord's Day.
Loving You and Him,
Pastor D
