God is so Good

Today is Christ the King Sunday. The last Sunday in Pentecost is always Christ the Kong Sunday. Next week is the church new year. I was asked to preach today at all three services. Almost everyone who knows me as having been their priest knows that I start Sunday at the church very early praying for everyone who will come. Praying over classrooms and pews and parish halls. I also kneel in prayer in the sanctuary asking God to give me His final word for my sermon. This morning as I prayed, God showed me the two banners on the wall behind the altar, and a way to use them as a conclusion to the message he had already given me. The left hand banner is the crown of the king while the right hand banner is the symbols for the Alpha and Omega, Christ the beginning and the end. I was so surprised and awe struck by the inspiration that I was just praising God and teary eyed as I got up and walked around the worship space. I never cease to be amazed by the grace of God. You would think after all this time that nothing could surprise me, but I really find God amazing again and again. He somehow manages to get my attention and show me amazing things as I try to follow Him. If He doesn't do it for anyone else, I know He impresses me. Thank you God for your faithfulness, and the power of your spirit. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.
