Ecclesiastes 3:11 "He has made everything beautiful in its time..."
It constantly amazes me how awesome God is. Today we had our annual Freshman Worship Service in our beautiful chapel. And, every time I am in a worship service I can't help but think of the people who make up the worship service and what they symbolize.
As we were singing today, I was thinking about all the voices I heard around me and you will probably recognize these same voices in your worship services. For example, you have the really deep bass guy. You also have the beautiful female voice a few seats over who would never actually have the courage to sing in front of people. You have the person behind you who is so far from key and many other voices. Then, you have the leaders and the band. The funny thing is the service would not be complete without each of these distinctive members. Just like the body of Christ is not complete without all of it's members.
Today, as I was singing, I was thinking about how awesome God is and how only He could bring each of these distinctive members together to make a whole complex body. He brings the broken. He brings the people who have no clue what they are doing with their lives. He brings those who are far from where they should be. He brings the leaders and the followers. And, He makes them beautiful.
The funny thing about timing is it is not always our timing. As one of my good friends pointed out as he was speaking today, the verse says "its" not "ours." "He has made everything beautiful in its time" So, if I showed up to worship at 8:00 and someone else showed up at noon, it would not be as beautiful. However, we have a set time to worship just like God has a set time for things to happen in our lives. So, if your situation isn't beautiful now, give it time!
