Our Ambition

Paul wrote, "Our ambition is to be pleasing to Him in all things." Today at church we tried a different approach. We had Ando, who was leading the worship today, plan many more songs than normal and we instructed him to just keep going as the Holy Spirit led. We sang and worshipped and I never preached or taught. I'm a teacher, both in the natural and in the church, so it really goes against my bent and my gifting NOT to teach. I had two different messages prepared--I did used to be a Boy Scout (our motto is "Be Prepared") and I am a speech teacher. So I was prepared. But, I felt that if I had said anything, other than guiding us through communion, I would have interfered with what the Holy Spirit was doing. Now, at the end of the day, all I can say is, "I feel the Lord was pleased." That is enough!
