Is it possible to have a singles ministry in which there are never any storms? Where everyone gets along, there is no drama, no one is sleeping with anyone else, no cohabitation, and no argueing. Where everyone is growing in their relationship with Christ. Where everyone shows up each Sunday morning. Where everyone is prepared because they have done their small group lesson. Where everyone can't wait to tell you what God has done in their life that week.

Well, it could happen but probably not on this earth. How do I know this? Well, if you have ever served in singles ministry in any way, you know its an on-going ministry to the healthy and unhealthy. To the saved and unsaved. To the high on Jesus and near suicidal. Bottom line, its a storm. And with a storm you never know where it's always coming from and where its going. You aren't sure if it will bring the cooling temperatures needed so much on a hot summer day or the disaster from a tornado. You aren't sure if its the kind of storm that will water the dry land full of crop or create a tidal wave and destroy everything in its path.

But even with knowing this, I thank God for the storms in my ministy as well as in my life.  Even though storms can sometimes bring distruction it can also brings change. And some of us need change. Change in our attitudes, change in our professions, change in our focus, and change in our obedience.

What storm do you need God to bring in your life?
Job 40:6
Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm:
