Sunday worship yesterday was really uplifting. What a blessing to be part of a Church body; and to be able to worship the LORD!
David Klinkenberg played the violin during worship. I've been listening to his music for the last couple of years, ever since I met him, when he opened for Mark Schultz on his concert tour. It was such a blessing to hear him playing at my church. Not only does he play beautifully; but, I truly see his love for God through his music.
The sermon on Sunday also spoke to me. My pastor was talking about facing trials and sufferings in our lives through 1) support from other believers, 2) the solid foundation of Christ the rock, 3) expecting and being prepared for them, 4) the quality of our faith, 5) standing firm in the Lord, 6) praising God for victory, 7) intensified prayer, and 8) fruitful growth. God can use trials to display His splendor.
It was interesting that at the end of the sermon, my pastor asked that if we were given an eraser to take away any parts of our past, what would be erase? After thinking about it, I realize that I wouldn't change anything, for everything that I've gone through, both good and bad, make up who I am. And, it is often through our most difficult times that we grow the most.
