In your church —

If no one really moved during praise today —

If no one really responded during the sermon today —

If everyone dispersed and went home quickly today —

If everything was slightly stilted, awkward, clumsy, full of technical difficulties and cranky glances and zero excitement today —

Don’t worry.

It’s just today. God is still God. He is still working.

Sometimes He just plants seeds. It’s not about the results today. And it was never about us anyway.

He is pleased, even with our sincere stumbles to praise Him.

Look forward to what is next, for He is there too.
