Advancing the Kingdom of God

hey ya'll..... I was looking back at an old Xanga blog where I was working at CentriFUGE (the camp the youth are going to this year). The support staff had a devotion thing from tracy turner. He has always had something good to say, and the thing he said that specific day was awesome.

He was talking out of Matthew 11 when john the baptist sent his disciples to Jesus. He was looking at it from the point of view of John. John was a preacher with a message burning in his heart, in the prime of his life, and he was in prison for a crime he did not commit. His plans were obviously not working out as he had forseen, and he was obviously doubting God's plan in some way, i mean, he had to ask if Jesus was the one. Despite all of that, in verse 12, Christ says to the disciples that the Kingdom of God is still forcefully advancing.....

Even when our plans are not going as we would like and we feel like things just are not working, God's plans are working and God's kingdom is advancing, often in the most unexpected ways.....
I just think that is a message that we all need to hear in life, and i know it encouraged me, so i thought i'd share it with you.....

Anyway, peace out, and ya'll keep on doing God's work
