In Part 4 of "Navigating Through Life's Troubled Waters", Rick spoke on God meeting us in the furnace.  It was a very powerful message that connected the three Hebrew children's (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego) experience in the fiery furnace, with our perspective during difficult times. At the closing of the service people joined together, agreeing and praying back the words of the song, "Sweet Morning Light" by Greg Ferguson.

Here are the lyrics to the powerful song:

Lord this pathway may not be easy
But it's where I'm meant to be
In Your presence You will keep me
As my mind is stayed on Thee

I will follow through the canyons
Over mountains, across the sea
You will find me in Your footsteps
Till at last I'm home and free

Lord don't let me be dissuaded
From Your holy work in me
Till I reach Your destination
And I'm finally home and free

What a powerful proclamation.  God is definitely doing a deep work in our midst.  The Son of God has said to us "Follow Me", and sometimes that means into a furnace.  Let it be said of us that we would not bow to our own comfort, but were willing members of the "Furnace Club". 

Be sure to join us this Sunday for the conclusion of the series "Navigating Through Life's Troubled Waters"
