You Never Know...

It is amazing to me how God can use what you do for His kingdom in the most unlikely of ways. You may think you are serving in one area of ministry, but God will use it for something completely unrelated. It happens more than you would think.


Recently, I was going through a very stressful situation. I was getting ready to take the witness stand in court for the first time in my life. I know this may not seem like that big of a deal, but for what was on the line I was very concerned. Adding to the stress were some of the people involved. They were people who just liked to stir up drama and trouble where ever they went. (I really don’t understand people like that…) As if I wasn’t shaken enough, they were doing all they could to make the situation more tense. I was not amused.


I was sitting in the car with my wife before we went into the courtroom stressing and praying about the situation when all of a sudden Paige (one of my youth) singing a song for our KidStuf service popped in my head. She does a great job at it. It was there, like a song playing on repeat in my head… And that was all I could think about in that moment. I wasn’t stressing anymore, I wasn’t so concerned about taking the stand, and I even started singing along to the music in my head! I texted Paige right away and told her the situation and thanked her.


You never know how God will use what you give Him, but He will always use it for good! What are you giving God?


In Christ,
