Wow, God!

Wow, God!
Do you ever have thoughts like that? There are so many times that we walk through life and we just overlook the every day, we chalk things off to coincidence, or classify them as ordinary...

But God is actually in the every day, He is orchestrating every moment of life. Small things, big things, they all come under God's sovereignty.

I've just been reminded of that this morning. When I was first planning the Mini-DTS and picking speakers and topics, I'll be honest, I didn't much pray over it, or think of how it might flow or not flow. But God, in His sovereignty, has put together this school, with speakers and topics, in a way that flows, in a way that will prepare students from one week to the next...The little things, the details, they are in His hand...

The big things too are also in His control. I'm (Darla) leaving the Cook Islands in a few short weeks, and I've had my ups and downs with the decision. The base is coming into a new and exciting season, and I'd love to be a part of it. But Steve Dunne, the speaker for the next week of the Mini-DTS, pointed out some scriptures in Hebrews 11 to me this morning. One of the ones that really stood out to me was Hebrews 11:39-40, These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better...

I know that the Scripture is speaking about coming salvation, but God used them to encourage me this morning, that He does know the thoughts and plans He has for me, and He is orchestrating every moment of my life, every step that I take...

So stop for a moment and acknowledge God, think to yourself, Wow!, because He is doing some incredible things in your life. In every moment He is ever-present and He will never do anything unloving in your life. Each journey He takes you through is worthy of a sacrifice of praise as He leads you and guides you through life!

Be Blessed...
