The Lord Has Done Great Things

I was reading Psalms 126 ...

1. We'll ask ourselves are we dreaming?  Why?  Because the sight of people and fortunes being restored in the presence of God. 

2. We'll be so excited that we can't contain it.  Those around us will also see the work and power of God and they themselves will say, "The Lord has done great things for them."

3. How can we not be happy when we see our lives put back together by Him?  Can we be happy when we see lives give their hear to the Lord?  When someone decides to take water baptism, how can we not be happy?  What is your reason for being happy and full of joy?

4. We can't restore anyone or anything.  Only God can do that.  Only when the "rains" of His presence and Holy Spirit pour down will the seed start to grow and in due season bear fruit to be a blessing. 

5. In addition to the "rain" God will send down, we need to produce some "water".  Through the tears of our prayers.  Those tears will not be in vain.  There will be songs of joy to follow.

6. We have a responsibility to carry the seed of the good news = Gospel.  It's not for us to keep in our hand or in our pockets.  We are carrying it so we can let it go.  God will make those seeds grow and we'll be returning to His presence with new lives in tow with us.  When we return to Him with those new lives, the dream is not a dream any longer, but reality! 

CWS is growing.  There's exciting things coming.  Times of fellowship.  Times of loving our community!  Times of prayer and surrender!  Times of transformation spiritually and physically!

The Lord had done great things and He's not done writing this story! 

Enjoy The Ride,

Cecil
