Plan and Pray

We are into our last 16 days of our preparation for our new church facility and its looking great. Cafe is in, toilets are almost there, sound and lighting in place but the biggest challege is still yet to come. To fit out all of our stadium seating, stage, kids rooms, multi media rooms in 3 days with 25o volunteers. What gives me confidence is the preparation that has gone into this.
When God instructed Joshua to lead Israel across their Jordan he first told them to prepare themselves.
Prayer has been paramount even though at times it is really hard to pray. Prayer doesnt force Gods hand but it keeps us on the look out for His intervention. But just as important is the planning process. Planning and praying are the 2 key strategies in healthy preparation.
Pray for opportunities and plan as if you expect God to answer your prayers!
