God is faithful

By Josh MacDonald, Worship Leader

One thing I’ve found about God is that He always accomplishes His purposes, one way or another. The best times for me have been when I’m in step with him, making my purposes His purposes. It is those times that I believe Jesus had in mind when he said, “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” (John 14:14) I’ve had the privilege to be a lead worshiper at Storehouse for almost four years now. During that time, I’ve seen a whole lot of changes. Many faces have come, and almost as many have gone. More than a few times, change was brewing and I began praying for the next right person to come along and fill the vacancy. In every case, God has been utterly faithful, though often his timing was not what I expected and sometimes the person filling the spot was far from who I had pictured.

We are again at a crossroads in the worship ministry at Storehouse. After more than three years of faithful, passionate, able service, Michael and Julia have felt called back to their roots. As soon as their house sells, they will be packing up and moving back to Atlanta where both have family. While I am extremely saddened at the prospect, and admittedly a part of me has wanted to run over their For Sale sign with my car, I have never doubted that God’s purposes are being accomplished. He has big things in mind for them, just as He has big things in mind for Storehouse. I have no idea what the details will look like, but I love resting in the knowledge that He will guide us one step at a time straight into the center of His plan. He’s never let me down yet.
