Today the pastor in our church told the best story of someone finding Jesus: (This is told from the Pastor's point of view)
"Today we are welcoming new members. There is one member that you need to hear the story of how he ended up here. Doug Shoemaker is a sanitation worker. Someone had thrown away a CD that had one of my sermons on it. Doug found it while working, amidst the trash. He took it home; he listened to it and decided that he needed to come to Village Bible to hear more. My question is, 'Who threw away a sermon of mine? (lots of laughter) I just want you to know that what man intended for evil, God intended for good! (and the best part) Don't forget that God is in the details, and no detail goes without His notice."
How cool is that story. A sanitation worker would find a discarded sermon on a CD, take it home, listen to it and become a follower of Christ. Our God is so much bigger than we can imagine. This encourages me at a time in my life when I can't see how God is going to fulfill His promise to us.
Yet as our pastor is saying throughout his new series on God's promises, "Are you promise level living, or feelings level living?" Do you base the evaluation of your life on your feelings or on the promises of God
