A Stirring
In the Gospel of John, we read the story of a miraculous healing by Jesus at the Pool of Bethesda. The folklore surrounding the pool was that an angel—or the Spirit of the Lord—would occasionally “trouble” or stir the water of pool and the first person in the water would be healed. Of course, Jesus was not in need of swirling waters to effect a change... he healed a man who had been disabled for 38 years. Nevertheless, I can only imagine the level of excitement of those around the pool all those times when the waters did begin to swirl. Here is my point, it seems like there is a stirring at Lakewood Way Community Church. The Spirit appears to be moving and lives are being changed for the better. If you have been present have you noticed it? True, the Lord can work without any apparent stirring—but it sure is exciting when we KNOW that the Lord is at work because we can see and feel the effects. Are you ready to jump in?
