Tonight is the night...the beginning. All our preparation has come to this! I am so excited to see what God is going to do. I am already amazed at what He has orchestrated in the preparation. I also know that when things are productive in the life of the church, there is usually opposition as well. Yesterday my lower back began to hurt-really bad for no reason. It has been quite debilitating, especially with a one year old to chase. I have been applying lots of heat in hopes it will help and have been praying that I will be able to endure the pain enough to get through tonight.
I was reading in my Quite Time this morning and Oswald Chambers said something in My Utmost for His Highest that really reassured me. "If a man or woman is called of God, it doesn't matter how difficult the circumstances may be. God orchestrates every force at work for His purpose in the end. If you will agree with God's purpose, He will bring not only your conscious levels but all the deeper levels of your life, which you yourself cannot reach, into perfect harmony."
I Corinthians 15:58
"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourself fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."
What reassurance!! Let nothing move me-not even back pain. Stand firm. Your labor is not in vain.
We have been building relationships and organizing our Explore Group for so long. I can't wait to see what God does tonight!
