I will always be amazed by the lord's faithfulness to speak and teach his children. I KNOW he does it for them in spite of me. Every so often sermon writing is a bear for various reasons (many ignoble). I study all week and I find I just cannot write. On Friday night or Saturday my sense of duty causes me to press in, I sit down and turn up the instrumental music and I start working and the Lord surprises me with a good sermon. I just hammered out one that needed little to no editing in 3-4 hours! Pretty good I think.
In light of the disappointments of my life recently I take much comfort in this reminder that the Lord is faithful to take care of his own regardless of who or what is in the way. Rom 8:39 - nothing can, nothing will separate us from his love. It is in the knowledge of that love that I hope to place all my life's stuff.
