A friend of mine who is a worship leader was given the name and phone
number of a prospect for his praise band. He called the person and
immediately began telling the man of the need at church for a
percussionist. The man indicated that he was interested in visiting the
church and seeing the "set up". At the conclusion of the conversation my
friend said, "Well, John, I'll look forward to meeting you Sunday." To
which the man replied, "My name is Todd, not John, but I'll still see
you Sunday?"
By the hand of God, the worship leader had dialed
one digit wrong in John's number. By the hand of God, Todd and his band
of three entered church for the first time on Sunday. Looking rough
around the edges, the young men marched to the front row, and began to
observe that they were warmly greeted and genuinely accepted by the
membership.
They found a place of belonging and love among God's
people, and several weeks later committed their lives into Jesus' care.
Their past lives had been spent making worldly music, but now as their
transformation occurred through the Holy Spirit, they were led to new
heights in making music God's way.
What a story they tell, all
because God caused my friend to dial one "wrong" digit in a phone
number.
In a world that is sceptical of "church" and "God", it is
important that Christians "everywhere tell of [God's] mighty miracles".
Do we live in active expectation that God will intervene miraculously in
our lives and in the lives of those around us? We serve a living God!
Prayer: Thank You, heavenly Father, for the opportunity to see You
working through Your children to change lives for Your honour and glory.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Today's Bible Verse:
Psalm 75:1,9 - We thank You, O God! We give thanks because You are
near. People everywhere tell of Your mighty miracles. But as for me, I
will always proclaim what God has done; I will sing praises to the God
of Israel.
