God’s Sovereignty Even In Our Mistakes

Two months ago a brother who would be visiting us officially had accepted my proposals for his schedule during his visit in India. Though I was aware that his coming was specifically for official purpose, still I scheduled many unofficial appointments. Later, when he came, it was to his surprise that many unofficial appointments were carried out. Though not entirely useful as far as the purpose of visit was concerned, it nevertheless was a great blessing for those with whom appointments were made. He also made the mistake of not delving deep into the schedule yet approving it. I myself also did not really realized the seriousness of it in the beginning. But when he mentioned it, it convicted me of my lack of sight. The two of us committed a mutual mistake. However, the Lord was sovereign and all worked out to be good.

Every schedule went well, yes, especially for me. To me it was lessons of life. I could learn many things in fellowship with the brother. At least in nine major areas of my service, the Lord opened my eyes to see what need to be corrected and improved. The Lord graced me to note these and incorporate them into my living and service. O what a grace.

Accompanying a brother and be at his service as to the Lord was a blessing. Our bond became stronger, and I could open up more to him for any fellowship related to my service. Apart from this, I also experienced the anointing of the Lord in just being at his service; as member honoring another member. This is a real life experience of a Body life.

Lord, grant me more experience of You in Your Body.
