Do You Recognize These Songs By Casting Crowns?



You never know who the Lord will bring across your path when you ask Him to send someone to you to minister to you that day. He sure did bless me the other day. I was in the right place at the right time and I was observant too. Do not be afraid to ask a question or two if you want to know something. It is in the silence or the hesitation to ask that you will miss the blessing being sent your way. I try to teach you through my life experience not to miss these opportunities. Yes, I have missed probably more than once in my life and when I look back on it I want to bring condemnation upon myself but Holy Spirit does not allow me to go that far. For it is asking forgiveness in the missing of the opportunity that I am healed and I do not continue to say "the should a would a could a" phrase to myself. Does that make sense? Let go of the missed opportunities in your life and expect the forthcoming opportunities in your life.
You can cry about spilled milk (you know that old expression) or you can clean up the spilled milk so it does not sit their and spoil and create an awful odor or you may even slip and fall if it spilled on the floor so to speak. If you choose to clean up the mess it is now gone and there is no opportunity to have consequences from it not being cleaned up. We all miss the mark at one time or another do not get down in the dumps over that one instance or two, it may be even more in some instances. Just move on and move forward and look with expectancy to see what God is up to and about to do in your life. It is OK to ask Him if what is presented to you is from Him or from the enemy. Do not move forward if you do not get the green light go ahead from Holy Spirit. You know the enemy will always bring his best (which in my opinion really is junk) just before God's best which is divine goodness. Why settle for junk when right around the corner is the best God has just for YOU. Yes, just for you. Continue onward and upward. I am so reminded by God that He is always on time and He never misses. You may not think so at the time you are experiencing what you are experiencing but He knows where you are at. Sure enough when you hang in there a bit more doesn't He come through for you? I can tell you over and over again that this is how He has worked in my very life. He sees your concern and hears your prayers He really does. When He brings it forth it truly will remain etched in your memory that HE DID IT. That is the blessing in all of this. When the next event comes before you and you feel like you cannot make it, isn't it funny how remembrance comes to your mind of how God brought you through numerous times before?
God is great and greatly to be praised. His mercy does endure forever. Oh, on with my story. I met one of the members of this worship team the other day. How did I meet them? Just by being observant and asking an inquiring question. Yes, God Himself brought one of His own to cross my path and bless my life. You see, before even knowing who the person was right before me I had a connection with them. I cannot explain it other than a worshiper somehow connects with other worshipers even before knowing who the other person is before them. I would guess that that is how Holy Spirit connects His spirit with others. It sure is a mystery to me but I truly do enjoy these Holy Spirit moments of connection.
I met a pastor's wife the other day and she went to a Christian school back home where I am from. A few weeks ago I recognized a well known preacher and stepped out in faith and said excuse me are you_________. Sure enough it was exactly who I thought they were. God can bring people right to you and across your path are you willing to strike up conversations with those that the Lord sends to you? No matter who they are you will have brief moments of opportunity to share your witness with them also. No matter how widely known they are, you are just as widely known in the eyes of God, your heavenly Father and never forget that OK. We are called to fulfill His work are you willing to accept the challenge?
