A deliberate TURN of events

It is a brand new week again!

Yesterday was really interesting. On hindsight, it seemed to be a situation engineered by God for all of us involved to learn something. Due to a breakdown in communication, one of our worship-leaders did not get the message that he was leading worship yesterday. And neither did the musician.

It was an interesting, and even "deliberate" turn of events created by God. We ended up having Hwee Chin, who just returned from the US and filled with lots of divine inspiration, leading the worship session.

It was one of the best sessions. We did not have slides, no pre-meditated songs, no practice. We just came together as an assortment of people, to worship God.What was most impressive was the peace and joy we received out of it. In a situation where most would have freaked out, God completely took over. It such a reassuring feeling to experience God at work and knowing that you are powerless. Such peace to let Jesus carry the weight of the situation. Such a relief to let go and let the Holy Spirit take over the session.

We did not feel secure because Hwee Chin was leading or that there were so many worshipteam people around to help out...the security came from the knowledge that God is in Control. Indeed God is in control. He can turn a situation of depair into one of the best moments in life.

"The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Praise the LORD." -Psalm 146:10

I am not saying that we should stop preparing for worship in future and come every Sunday totally not ready. I am sure that God was also able to make use of Hwee Chin and whoever were present yesterday on the spot as they were ready at all times to be availed to His Purposes.However, it is important to have a spirit of surrender when preparing and during worship. When we totally let go, God can take over.

God bless your week ahead!
