The Glory of the Lord

Yesterday I beleive the Lord's glory was in the theatre. I was teaching with the kids during second service when these random chimes filled the theatre. It happened about three different times and the second time I did reference the Lord's presence. After the service I was talking about it with David Armendariz who was running sound. We were trying to figure out what it was and then I told him it was the Glory of the Lord. I recognize it could have been toy or something else but the timing and the lack of a better solution suggest the Lord revealing himself. You can imagine how incredible it was for me to return that evening and worship the Lord at our Impact service. The service was incredible and filled with worship and praise. In my mind the chimes continued to ring and it is so sweet to be in the presence of the Lord. I shared with Shayne what took place and this woman of faith immediatly was bummed that she missed it. Shayne and her family are so hungry for the presence of God and welcome him into thier lives and ministry. Shayne actually led worship that morning and evening and did a great job. The Lord is real and he is revealing himself in ways to you as well, you just have to be listening. I don't think I mentioned and in fact I am reminded that I was speaking about bells ringing in response to the birth of our savior. God is so good. Jingle Bells will always be one of my favorites from now until eternity.
