Life on a Bus at night is a Struggle


The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, the wheels....
 
At night the drone of the engine and sounds of the road never end. It
is a persistant dull roar. It is what you attempt to sleep by,
between the moans, groans, shouts, grunts, snores and crying. Lights
are out and the bus driver wants it quiet. Don't forget rule #1:
"Don't make the bus driver mad!"
 
Sadly, the night environment does not welcome talks of Christ. It
doesn't welcome talk at all. It is the night hours I would read God's
Word and contemplate for what purpose He had me on this insane bus
ride across America.
 
I was reading last night about the time in Acts when the Holy Spirit
was not bashful. It spread like wild fire through the people present.
 It was undeniable. Sometimes today, however infrequent, a group of
believers get the gift of life and experience "ONENESS" as God
intended.
 
I then read of the Welch revivalist Okey and the incredible works of
the Spirit. There were times when he knew there was a person or
situation that was preventing the Holy Spirit from creating oneness.
When the impediment was removed, the Spirit came in a big way.
 
Isn't it exciting to consider what God may intend for the body of
believers at Grace Point Church as we become ONE in Christ with
impediments removed!
