Oasis in the desert...

At lunchtime today, I took time out, and went to a 'Celebrate' service in a Church near to where I work. The Church was destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666, and rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren (completed in 1690) - quite an impressive building.

As I walked in - there was such an amazing presence of God in the meeting, it was awesome! Great worship (led by Al Gordon)....a guitar, a grand piano and a cello. It's kinda strange (but nice) to go to church and stand alongside other businessmen and women, all dressed in their suits etc - and just take time out to worship God and listen to the Word, in the middle of a busy working day.

Whilst we were worshipping - I was suddenly conscious of the fact that in His presence, the pressures of the day don't seem to matter. In fact, they pale into insignificance!

The message today was from Habakkuk 2 - challenging us to 'stand in the gap' for our City and our workplace etc.

Who can you 'stand in the gap' for this week?
