Tonight was a big night at my church. The bishop came to talk about his next 4 year term with Indiana. We hosted a welcome reception for him. I got off work an hour early, but by the time I got there, the room was packed! There were people from many different churches and people were chatting, eating, and greeting people it was obvious they didn't see often. I enjoyed people watching. It was crowded enough that I didn't get very far into the room.
Shortly after I arrived, the program started. After a brief video, the bishop talked about his thoughts for the next 4 years. Then, he asked everyone there to share their thoughts on what they would like to see in the next 4 years. So, there was a time of getting into groups and discussing.
About that time, one of my youth popped in. He didn't want to eat- even though there was yummy food. He just wanted to see the bishop. I had mentioned last night at youth group that he would be there tonight. And, he just came by to see him. He seemed excited to be there, although he didn't stay long. I am guessing since he walked there that his mom wanted him home before it got too dark.
So, where was God today? He was in that room with so many people who are excited about what the next 4 years will bring. And, he was with that youth who was excited just to be a part of it, even if only for a short time. He has so many more years of moments ahead of him!
John 3:21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
