    We often feel that we can’t be happy until we are in the “perfect place,” or God’s “perfect will.” If we wait around for the perfect moment, then we could miss those truly perfect opportunities. The perfect moment to serve is right now.

    I have entitled our message for this morning “One Day at a Time.” What I am going to share has to do with understanding God’s will for our life, and this is a subject matter that concerns each of us as believers. Henry Blackaby, in his book Experiencing God, says that all you have to do find ...read more
