Good morning and happy Monday. Man oh man God is good. Casting crowns has a song called "Already There". It's about God being ahead of us and us looking back and seeing how all the pieces of our lives fit together that we couldn't understand while it was happening. What's really cool is when you see it happen. I was getting Sunday's lesson ready and had a few of the main topics and ideas ready for class. As a lot of times we get ready to go one way and God needs it to go another. One of the groups brother was in town and visiting our class and church. Well, as I begin to head down the road I was going to, I suddenly started seeing what God wanted said and brought out, in what seems like a simple story of Peter walking out of prison with the help of an angel. As we talked it out we learned about Kirk , the brother's, situation. All that was going on in his life with his wife and the direction and trusting God to lead them. Man it was mind blowing how God showed up and let us all be amazed at His work. In both what was happening in their lives and what was happening at that very moment. We have to be pliable. We have to be ready to move in the direction God is nudging us at the time He says. No delay but with a sense of urgency. You would think that if an angel of God is helping you escape prison and death, that you wouldn't have to worry about anything. Yet the angel tells Peter to hurry and move. It's about being obedient to the Lord and doing what He says when He says. Kirk's anxieties and doubts and worries for his families direction were calmed and the rest of us got to see God do His work in a life right as it was happening. Amazing. We missed regular church as we continued to have our own church upstairs in a room with God. That's what church is any way right? Thank you God for all you do for us. To you be all the glory for this and all you do in our lives. In love always. <><
