Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"
"Everything happens for a reason", we have heard that quote many many times. Its used practically everywhere. For Christians it has a deeper meaning. Not just that something happens because something else is going to happen. Its God, HIMSELF, placing His hands in the middle of our lives and molding us for something great!
This morning God did just that in Victory Missionary Baptist Church. Our pastor, Sam Higgs, announced his resignation this morning following the service. For almost 7 years he lead Victory out of some very trying times and during his leading saw around 500 people come to Christ through various programs and services. Those were wonderful seasons, seasons to rejoice! But now Victory enters into a new season, a season of sadness and almost a "gut-check". This season can last as long as WE allow it. God has plans for Victory, what those are no one can say for sure, but as long as we allow God to have total control we know it will be GREAT!
Psalm 30:5 "..... weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning"
Joy WILL come in the morning! My God doesn't lie!
p.s. Remember Bro. Sam and his family as they adjust to the position God has given him!
