What will God do?

Below is the email I sent to all of our Salt Company leaders this morning. It's 2:50 and still raining outside. Hmmmm.

What will God do tonight for our TSC kickoff?

One thing I know: we're pretty jacked up if God doesn't show up. It's the perfect place to be, really.

I'll let you know how it goes down tonight.

TSC Leaders-

I woke up this morning to the rain and some time with God in John 6.

"When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, 'Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?' He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do."

Here's my journal entry from this morning:

"August 27, 2009. I woke up to the sound of pouring rain at 5:15 AM. It has been raining since yesterday. This is not good for our TSC kickoff- OUTSIDE. But I know there is a lesson of trust in this. Jesus, you multiply bread and fish, you walk on water...what miracle are you going to pull off tonight?"

We've decided to go for it OUTSIDE regardless of weather. God might bring rain, or he might bring sun, but either way we're putting ourselves in a position of faith where we're asking God to show up in a way that only He will get the glory.

So let's go for it. Come prayed up and expecting God to do something great tonight.

Soli Deo Gloria,

Mark

Not a single drop for the entire thing! God did amazing things aside from putting a stopper the clouds for a few hours
