Stopping at the Corner

"Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people..." Joshua 1:6

On Tuesday I returned to the land to walk the property, to envision where the new facilities will be placed...and most of all...to pray...to pray for all of those people in cars passing by. Wow! I had forgotten how busy this intersection is. There are so many that come this way...as they are on their way to wherever it is that they must soon be. Moms with children on their way home from a quick stop at the Publix on Huntley Parkway. People getting off the interstate and making their way home after a hard days work.

Many of them stop at the property and look...now, granted there is a stop sign at the corner and no doubt they are most likely looking for oncoming traffic before making their right and left turns. But my prayer that day was that they would see more. I prayed they would see what is coming soon. That would notice a sign and see a church that longs to lead them to Jesus...that longs to cause them to glimpse His glory...that longs to minister to them...and their children...and their families...with strength and with courage. Oh I pray that there would be a desire developing within their hearts even now to "Come and See" as we get ready to become more than just a neighbor...as we become a friend.

The days ahead are good because Jesus has orchestrated a plan to lead His church to be built. We are a part of this great plan. I pray that these passers-by are as well. Let us prepare to go now...to lead them to see the glory of the Son of God!
