This past weekend, I took a last minute QUICK trip to Minnesota
for a family wedding and time with my husband’s elderly parents. Saturday,
after the wedding, we went to one of the area attractions, Minnehaha Falls. As
I was walking down the stairs to the falls I heard a “trumpet” (I later saw it was a shofar). I was
intrigued and had to investigate what was going on. Then I also heard drums and
thought maybe there was some Native American Indian gathering going on.
When I got to the bottom of the stairs, and
walked toward the bridge over the creek, there was a small group of Nigerian believers releasing a "new song" at the base of the falls. The words they were singing were that of a worship and declaration of the God I love! Of course, I had to encounter what God was up to!❤
I walked over the them and then we began to exchange our stories, testimonies, and our hearts on fire for Him. We were immediately connected as one, in Him! I just love how a total stranger becomes a co-laborer in a "happenstance" 😉 connection!
All this to say, that in our sharing I
mentioned how I have been to Nigeria and I left a part of my heart there. I then started sharing about this new song I
have been hearing that was written by another Nigerian, Way Maker. They
immediately said yes, as they not only knew the song but they knew the writer,
Sinach!
Right there a suddenly erupted as we all
spontaneously began singing the song - declaring the truth of who our God is
over Minneapolis! Don’t you just love when the Lord encounters us like that?
So now this morning, I “stumbled” 😂 across this
song. (We never “stumble anywhere – right?” God is so intentional! As we enter this new Hebraic year of 5780 (as
we are on the doorstep of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur) let’s take a minute to
remember who our God is and what He can do!
To hear the news on secular airwaves, you
would think the world has gone crazy and then we are invaded by heaven... right
here on earth! The Lord sweetly and kindly drops sweet kisses from heaven into
your lap.
Take a minute and listen to this version of
Way Maker. It is my most favorite
rendition (that I can find recorded), although Michael Bethany of Gateway
church in Southlake has an anointed version as well – just not shareable – you have
to hear him live.
Remember, He is YOUR way maker, miracle
worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness... that is who He is!! Have a
fabulous day IN Him! He wants to
encounter earth WITH you. Make room for
Him!
