Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. ISAIAH 60:1-3 NIV
I love an inspired song list. I love to sit and ponder and play and pray over what I feel would work in the moment we are leading into. BUT...I am sensing this growing need for us to be bravely connected to the moment we are given, not just simply the plans we have made, as well-intentioned as these plans may be. Jesus modeled the way of ministry as His life was continually poured out for others, a pure response of worship to the Father. As we reflect God’s heart, a new level of vulnerability is required as we lead into these days when people are broken, raw, hungry for encounter, and more transparent than ever before. And as always, the Spirit of the Living God is ready to meet them with His living
