Happy Sunday!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I am so grateful to live in the United States of America. We have so many privileges and opportunities! God has allowed us to benefit from the sacrifices of brave men and women who fought and died for our freedom. We remember and celebrate them!
Bishop Alexis A. Thomas preached this afternoon at South Phoenix Baptist Church. They were celebrating their Pastors 48th Year in Pastoral Ministry. Bishop preached, "The Privilege of Proximity". He used John 14:8-9 as his scripture reference.
Nothing happens by chance. God has a plan and a purpose for each of our lives. In Jeremiah Chapter 1 God told Jeremiah, "Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations—that’s what I had in mind for you.” (Message Translation) Romans 2:11 says, "There is no favoritism with God." (Message Translation) That means he knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb too. He knew you and he has a plan for your life and well-being. Jeremiah 29:11 echoes this sentiment, "I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for." (Message Translation)
Since God has an ultimate plan for our lives, he connects us with individuals that can sow into or invest in our lives. Think about it! Perhaps it was your kindergarten teacher, that loved you and made you feel special. Maybe it was a coach, a Sunday School Teacher, or the lady next door. God allowed your paths to cross at the right time. My daughters and I often marvel at the fact that we live in Arizona. I never would have dreamed that I would live anywhere outside of the St. Louis Metropolitan Area. The story is too long and detailed for Happy Sunday, but due to a chain of events, we ended up here. We have been tremendously blessed! We have met some wonderful people and we have grown and matured. We are all gainfully employed and continuing our educations. We are part of a progressive church and are constantly watered with excellent WORD from our Pastor and some of the top Pastors and Evangelists in the World.
God knows what we need in order to fulfill our purpose. He blesses us to be in proximity to great men and women who can share their testimonies and wisdom with us. Bishop said, "Lessons are better borrowed than bought". We don't have to make all the mistakes, we can learn from the mistakes of others.
I'm grateful. Love and prayers, Cynthia
