“I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the Lord.”
- Psalm 40:1-3
This is the miracle of salvation! I don’t deserve it…but He reached in and picked me up! He rescued me!
That’s the reason for the new song!
I can hear the music because of my experience with Him.
Everyone can’t hear the music because they have no experience with Him.
But many will…and they will put their trust in the Lord!
Then they can hear the music too!
But not until then.
Did i read correctly in your posts that you guys are praying about doing a church plant? I was involved with one right here in Cartersville, GA – Oak Leaf Church – and was their preschool director during their 1st year. It’s a lot of work, but it’s also so amazing to see the things that God has done – things that are far beyond our prayers and hopes and dreams. They currently have over 1000 people attending on Sundays during 4 services in a movie theater – and in our little town of about 60,000 people and a church on every corner, that’s pretty amazing for a church that is only 2 years old
I love seeing how people will come and volunteer and load in cribs and toys at 5am just to get ready for the services on Sundays – it’s amazing what God can do with so little $$ but so much love.
