One of my favorite hymns is How Great Thou Art. Scrolling through some of my pictures, this one above made me think of this song. I’m actually listening to Paul Baloche sing it right now on iTunes. What a gifted worship pastor he is.
The state and county ordered ‘stay at home’ order has been lifted, to some degree. Not enough I am sure, but, I am headed back to work today, and it has been a long time. Yesterday I believe I said it had been almost 7 weeks, I think it has actually been closer to 6. But, who’s counting? I am not sure what to expect, as I mentioned yesterday, the last few days we were open before the shut down were not pleasant. Maybe with most of all our full time employees returning, things will seem a little more stable. I am sure as word gets out our store is opened back up, people will flock in in droves. I still have two weeks of vacation I have to use up in the next 5-6 weeks. Now that will be interesting how my company will handle that predicament.
My pastor today made me remember just how much God is in control with this whole Covid-19 situation. By the way, He is in complete control. While I haven’t enjoyed a lot of the restrictions that have been put into place, most especially the not being able to go to church in person aspect, I now see a wonderful ministry opportunity. Invite people online. Some people if you invite them to attend church in person, maybe they will accept, maybe they won’t. If they do attend, maybe they will get something out of the message, maybe they won’t. Maybe a seed will be planted in their heart, maybe not yet. Maybe that day they will accept Christ, maybe not yet. Right now, so many people who are not saved are looking for answers, they are looking for hope. Those who are saved are looking for answers and comfort as well. Maybe, just maybe, if we invite a friend or a neighbor to watch church online, maybe, just maybe they will find Christ. Wouldn’t that make this temporary halt to normalcy worth it. I know it would be to the person who was lost, but is no longer. And the hymn How Great Thou Art will mean so much to them.
For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
