"You're in for a Change"

Tonite, i had the blessing of playing with my boy Chase at his home church in the Gump. Apparently, they have been in need of a bass player so i told him id help out all i could. The pastor apparently really likes the bass (i think he's plays too) and therefore, he likes anyone who is willing to come play bass for his church. After the last song, he introduced me and announced to the entire congregation how happy he was to finally have a bass player! "Praise Jesus!" Followed shortly after (they are very much a talkative/responsive bunch of folk). I was a bit surprised he did the unnecessary announcement/introduction...this was a little awkward for me for two reasons... #1 i don't like the spotlite to be on me at anytime while in a worship setting for any reason, #2 It really caught me off guard! Anyway, he carried on for a few more minutes and i kinda tuned him out (i know, im a horrible person) then, he got serious and i recovered my lost of attention. He said prophetically, "Zach, you are in for a change, the Lord is gonna move inside you and change you!"Now, i know its nothing huge or life altering, but there was a lot of truth in those pastor's words to me. That pretty much sums up the past few weeks of my life since i decided to change my major. Total prospective from the Lord has come upon me in many areas of my life. He's so faithful to reveal Himself in the midst of change or to me, in this case. Just hearing this pastor say those simple words meant soo much to me, filled with encouragement, it was all i could do to thank Father. Thank Him for reminding me that i don't have to have it all together for Him to work in and through me for His good purpose! He's so quick to show himself when we least expect it or deserve it. Revealing that He is the author and giver of my life... of our lives and He will see to it that His good and perfect plan is carried out until completion in each of our lives. Father, i love that You are bigger than a time span, bigger than our hopes and dreams, bigger than our futures, bigger than our sin that so easily entangles us, thankful that You hold the scissors to cut us out of the mess we make in the entanglement (ha!). May You only continue to fascinate us. Will you keep in us a fearful reverence of our salvation... may we never get "tired" or comfortable with this person called Jesus. Risk and faith & love be the words in our hearts.
