How Great is our God!
On my way to my new office that song came on the radio, “How great is our God, sing again how great is our God…” and the events that had led up to today flashed through my mind. He has orchestrated a number of miracles to bring about just this day! He has confounded the wisdom of men to perform His work through a group of willing servants who have the faith and the willingness to trust Him to do His work in their lives. And He has chosen me to serve Him according to His good pleasure! “How great is our God!”
Today I set up my temporary office. It had all the necessities, coffee, tea, soft classical music, and internet access. Peet’s Coffee was the perfect place to begin my first day as Principal of Summit, perfect annonymity I thought so I could get all my work done!
I had just sat down and opened my laptop to do some e-mail and a young man (thirty something is young to me) said, “excuse me I just noticed your shirt, Summit Christian, is that a new school.” I was a little surprised because I forgot I was wearing the new Summit shirt but, gathering my composure I told him the amazing story of the last several weeks. During the exchange he commented that he was a former student of the old school in Carmichael and was excited to hear what God was now doing in Fair Oaks. “Sing again how great is our God!” played through my mind as he left.
A few minutes later one of the local church’s youth pastors walked in and I shared again the amazing story of Summit! After we finished our conversation the song returned “sing again how great is our God!” But now half of my morning was gone and I hadn’t got any of my important tasks accomplished.
I hurried over to the County offices to get some paperwork for permits expecting the worse but instead was kindly greeted by more people who noticed my Summit shirt and again allowed me to tell the amazing story for the third and fourth time in two hours! “How great is our God!”
By the end of the day I had retold the amazing story of Summit to six different people who I had never met before! I didn’t get my work done but was sure that I had done some of His! But perhaps the most amazing thing of all is that the story of Summit is all about God, not the people He has chosen to use! People wanted to hear about the amazing God we serve and what He is doing today in our community! Wow! “How great is our God, sing again how great is our God!
