This Sunday I read something on Elijah list that got me thinking. When I got to church and the worship started there was something not right. It was like there was discord in the music and the spirit. (even Judi said that she is not musical and thought something was not right) It took about 3 songs until I said to Rena " Aha! We have hit it" I remembered what I had read in the word from Elijah list and what it had spoken to me and I shared it with Rena and Judi. Judi said that I needed to share it with the leaders. So, after thinking about it I went to Mike Hinger and told him what I had gotten. He said it needed to be shared. So, after the worship was over he got me up at the front sharing this:
There are things that irritate us by making us mad, making us get offended, hurting us, bugging us etc. These are the irritants that cause a pearl of great price to grow in our lives. It is like what has irritated us is covered over by the Lord with joy. In a pearl, if you cut it in half there would not be a solid core, but layer upon layer. (just like tree rings, they would if they could tell a story)
So, all the things that are irritating us in life , if we let the Lord, will be changed into the pearls of great price (treasures stored in heaven) It gave me such encouragement and others too !! God is good ! Consider it all joy......
