He
Controls
The Course Of World Events
Our team just got back from a week in Crystal River working with other teams of Baptist Churches from all over the state of Florida. Flood surge from Hurricane Hermine caused major damage to hundreds of homes in the area where we worked. Our job was that of clean up and recovery! God is in control of world events and Hurricane Hermine would definitely fall in that category. We are certain that God directed us to the homes of those we helped. God was at work in each one of their lives. Three people in two of the homes made decisions for Christ. Hopefully some of them will be in church at First Baptist Church Crystal River this morning!
Scripture
Daniel 2
19 That night the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven. 20 He said,
“Praise the name of God forever and ever,
for he has all wisdom and power.
21 He controls the course of world events;
he removes kings and sets up other kings.
Observation
Our
team just got back from a week in Crystal River working with other teams of
Baptist Churches from all over the state of Florida.
Flood
surge from Hurricane Hermine caused major damage to hundreds of homes in the
area where we worked.
Our
job was that of clean up and recovery! God is in control of world events and
Hurricane Hermine would definitely fall in that category.
We
are certain that God directed us to the homes of those we helped. God was at
work in each one of their lives. Three people in two of the homes made
decisions for Christ.
Hopefully
some of them will be in church at First Baptist Church Crystal River this
morning!
Tears
of gratitude were what we received when we finished working in the home of
Taylor and Susan.
We
had just helped them remove all the sheet rock, insulation, appliances, ruined
possessions and all of their kitchen cabinets from their beautiful home.
They
were overwhelmed with gratitude that we, as total strangers, would come and
help them. It was that way with every family that we helped.
Application
I
will write and follow up those families that we helped and I will continue to
encourage them to get in church and grow in Christ.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, this week has been an experience that I hope I will never forget. I
don’t want to forget all of the people that we helped and I don’t want to
forget all the other people that worked along side of us. It was an incredible
week. You are Awesome. You are All-Powerful. You control world events. You can
take and make something good out of something bad. I pray for those we helped
and for all the others that are still waiting and hoping for help. Use all the
other teams that just arrived and that will arrive this week to help those
affected by this storm. I pray that many more people will put their trust and
their hope in Christ because of the volunteer teams helping these flood
victims.
