A lot has happened in the life of our congregation in the first half of 2024. God leads some through seasons of adversity, He moves some of His people home to heaven, others He moves to different paths of ministry. All these events added up can give one a brief moment of pause because they involve change and separation. But God is doing something. He always works for His glory and our good.
“My Father is always at His work to this very day, and I too am working.”
John 5:17 (NIV)
The Father, the Son, and the Spirit are always at work drawing people to Himself. He is restoring wounded souls, opening the eyes of understanding, and strengthening the inner man. He is building His church, and we are blessed to have a part in it.
The gospel promotes human flourishing because it introduces people to the Prince of Peace who reconciles and restores, creating and expanding a new humanity, a royal priesthood and a holy nation. Even this land of the free and home of the brave that celebrates its 248th birthday today is no match for the righteousness that is the scepter of His everlasting kingdom.
The mystery of God’s will is that we do not create it or bring it to pass – God does. We know He is good and worthy of our trust. So, rest in the delight of our good and gracious King. These are pivotal days at Grace Bible Church, so let’s follow Him in obedience and stewardship and watch what He does.
