Already been there and done that

Sunday June 10th, 1 Kings 17: 8 Then the word of the LORD came to him: 9 "Go at once to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there. I have commanded a widow in that place to supply you with food." 10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. Wherever we go in life, God is already there ahead of us. Wherever we are called in ministry, God is already there ahead of us setting the stage. Sometimes us religious types get all hyped up about what we have done in the name of God. At those times we forget that God has already been there, done that, and is calling us as witnesses and ministers. The next time something wonderful happens in ministry, know that you are just the witness of what God has already done. Your job is to provide the logistical support in the aftermath.
