Yesterday, Tom and I decided to go to the Acts Bible Study (or house church) instead of our usual church service. B and C had invited us when we were at K and S’s, and we really enjoyed it.
During the study, there was a word in tongues that was interpreted. The message was clear—God was seeing and hearing nothing but our endless plans, plans, and more plans. But what He wanted was for us to wait on Him and trust Him for the outcome of everything.
We are just a piece of the great tapestry He is weaving.
We can do nothing on our own.
We must rely completely on Him.
The moment I heard it, I felt such a release of responsibility—a permission to stop striving, to simply take each day as it comes and let Him weave His plan. I realized that Tom and I had been so focused on doing—on making the house church happen—that we were missing the point.
I told Tom, “I am not going to do anything except take one step at a time and let God do the leading!”
The word had such authority, there was no doubt in my mind—it was from God.
Later, I was talking with C, sharing a little more about where we were—our meeting with the pastor, and the Word we had received from Hebrews. She said she felt that God was using us in a powerful way, part of the movement so many are feeling from the Holy Spirit. She wanted to set up a time to meet within the next week or two.
While I was talking with C, Tom was talking with NL. N told Tom that we needed to get together for dinner soon—he wanted to hear our story and share theirs.
Wow. I feel God directing our paths in a real, direct, and mighty way.
Praise You, Jesus!
Lead the way, and I will follow.
