This past Easter I had the privilege to preach the sunrise service and I was asked to sing for the Good Friday Service at our Church.  What a privilege!  The song I sang was one that I had wanted to sing for a while.  It is titled, “Then Came The Morning”.  As I sang, I felt like the music swelled up in me.  Singers will understand what I am trying to say because I cannot describe it correctly.  What I am saying is that it was not me.  The Holy Spirit took what I was singing and multiplied it.

I love that song because it moves from disbelief and loss to hope.  Two days ago a horrific tragedy took place in Indianapolis, Indiana.  A charter bus turned over approximately one mile from the Church it was driving to.  On this bus was a Youth Pastor and his young wife who was pregnant, a mother of a special needs child with her child, the driver and dozens of others.  The reports are not in; but, it appears now that the brakes failed causing the bus to speed down the exit ramp from the interstate and crash.  The Youth Pastor, his pregnant wife, and a mother of five children (one having special needs) stepped out into eternity.

This Church family deeply need our prayers.  I cannot imagine the deep hurt that they are experiencing right now.  This I know.  Our Heavenly Father describes Himself as the God Of All Comfort.  I am so glad because my Christian Brothers and Sisters need His comfort as only He can give.  Look at II Corinthians 1:3, “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;”  Also take a look at the last part of Psalm 30:5, “For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. ”

So, how are you doing?
