Dearly beloved in Christ,
I greet you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Once we were to do ministry in a C.S.I. Church in Kerala for three days. Then one from our church choir wanted to accompany us, with his friend. So I contacted the Pastor of the church and told him that we would be accompanied by a few others who would teach new songs in the meetings. He was very enthusiastic about it and made all the arrangements. Special time was allotted in the meetings for teaching new songs. But the day before the meeting that person who promised to assist us in singing new songs in the meetings all of a sudden cancelled the program with us. They were going for some other meeting. I did not know what to do. The idea of teaching new songs was to be given up. The day before the meeting I prayed for the meetings. I had to leave early in the morning for the meetings. I went to bed. Then I heard someone standing near me and singing with a guitar. Then I heard a voice instructing me to wake up and write the songs. I woke up and started writing the song. That day the Lord enabled me, who is not proficient in Tamil, to write six new songs. These new songs I could teach to that congregation in those meetings. These songs were very useful and blessed in the ministry.
Dearly beloved in Christ, not according to our thinking, but, as He has ordained, things will happen in a good and successful way. Many a time we are disturbed and disappointed by the circumstances. We become people of little faith. Some are driven by fear to seek magicians. But His way is blessed and higher than ours. It is glorious. That helped me to write new songs in His presence. You will also experience the wonderful acts of the Lord and will rejoice in Him.
May the Lord bless you so!
