Amazing GOD

Do you ever sit around and wonder why did we study this or that on that day? Why don"t we study something else?

I had that happen this past week. As I was studying JOB I thought, 'Well this will be interesting to see how it applies to my life and everyone elses.' I was looking back trying to take what has already happened to me and apply what I was learning about. Good thought so I thought. The past is the past. There is no going back and changing it, removing it from history or anything. I found out the lesson from last week was really to prepare me for this week. I had a very big meeting yesterday in Lubbock, TX. I actually am sitting in the airport right now stuck because of a broke plane, another story altogther. I was stressing about the presentation I was going to do, the reactions I would deal with and how big the potential sale was. I dealt with this Monday, Tuesday and into Wednesday. I was so happy to get to church Wednesday. After I left choir practice I just a peace come over me concerning the meeting. I didn't have the presentation done, clothes packed, shirt ironed or even tie picked out. But I just knew all would be fine. I started recalling the previous week's study. I don't have time to worry about things. If I prepare my life right, which is putting Christ first in all things, He will provide over and beyond what I can imagine. I was trying to make the presentation that was the problem. I had not prayed about what I should say or even think. I am nothing, HE IS ALL!

I did get the presentation finished on the flight out to Lubbock, TX Thursday morning. I arrive at my customers headquarters and met with the owners. Right when the meeting began, my customer said, 'Can we just sit and discuss the floor system and our thoughts and concerns. We have seen enough presentations.' I began to laugh! I had spent all my time preparing something not even needed.

I say that to say this......

ARE WE SPENDING ALL OF OUR TIME PREPARING STUFF NOT EVEN NEEDED? OR ARE WE PREPARING FOR THE KINGDOM?

LORD, I pray all of us seek you first in all we do. Nothing is too for you LORD. Please help us deny ourselves and look upon you. You are awesome. I just sit in awe of what you continue to do in my life and there is no reason at all I deserve it. Thank you for your Love and thank you for your Grace. Please touch the hearts of our class members that they may become bold in your will to share their own story of their Savoir.
