God Restores

Caelan is still doing great and is playing at my feet right now. We had birthdays this weekend for two of my children (they are only 3 days apart - 4 years and 3 days, actually!), so it has been a pretty busy weekend. Right now, I am relaxing, perusing the blogs (mostly SBC stuff in preparation for the convention in June), and am enjoying a HOT, lazy Sunday afternoon.

Today, after worship, we had a dinner for a couple in our church who just got married named Rob and Sherry. After we ate, we were encouraging them and sharing things that we were praying for in their lives. Rob said something that really had me thinking. He said that one of the main things that God has taught him over the past couple of years is to look fully to Christ for all of His needs and then take what he has received from Christ and spread it around to others, because there are a lot of hurting, needy people out there.  Well, that pretty much summed up about 2000 years of practical Christian theology.  Rob has walked through a lot of pretty terrible stuff the past couple of years, and it is awesome to hear that kind of simple, yet powerful testimony from a brother who has experienced God in the midst of trials, has seen Him restore, and is praising the Lord! Way to go, Rob - may your marriage and home be blessed with the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Oh if we could but only be about Jesus Christ all the time, if we could look to Christ, if we could worship him in our hearts all the time, there would be no room for addictions, for impurities, for worry, for strife, for divisions, and the sort. Oh Christ, we need your grace. It reminds me of a song by Phil Whickham called "Grace." Check him out at philwickham.com.
