The streaming of our church service yesterday was plagued by technical problems, and while we were blessed by what we received, it was also a disappointment. However, the Lord was up to something beyond the flawless transmission of a Sunday service. He is always up to something more glorious than we realize.
Paul and his companions wanted to travel to a church for which they had great affection, a church that was experiencing tremendous persecution. But the evil one thwarted their travel plans (1 Thessalonians 2:8). As it turned out, while that church certainly would have benefited by Paul’s presence, God caused them to thrive without Paul showing up.
Whether it is a church service, a family event, a work project, or anything else we’re trying to accomplish, let us remember God’s blessings are not always packaged in our plans. He can even cause us to thrive without them.


Love that Pastor Dan and well said! I appreciate the encouraging words. 🙏🏽💜🤚🏾🙏🏽💜🤚🏾
