This morning Cornelia and I went to our home church. Cornelia is in charge of the attendance records for the middle school Sunday School. After we finished records we decided to leave and visit First Baptist Atlanta. We have wanted to hear Dr. Stanley live for a long time. It's really mysterious how the Lord works. When we left home we had now intention to go there.
After we arrived we selected our seat which was about 100 feet from the platform. As the service started we had no idea what the sermon topic was going to be. We were taken in by the perfection accomplished by everything they did. The service started directly on time and progressed beautifully with no mistakes. We did have to learn to deal with the distraction of the motorized TV cameras. We sang some beautifully arranged songs and hymns and was taken directly to the throne.
Then Dr Stanley took to the platform. As he began to deliver his message I quickly began to realize that he was speaking directly to a matter that I had been lifting up in prayer this week. As a matter of fact it was a direct answer to my prayer. Who could have guessed that we would show up at a church we never attend and have the Lord answer our prayers within Dr Stanley's sermon. Hey he didn't know we were coming!!!
We are dealing with matters in our lives that continue to consume us Please pray for us as we continue to follow God's will.
We serve a great and awesome God.
Love you all.
