It never fails to amaze me

God's omniscience and sovereignty never fail to amaze me, neither should it you! A few weeks ago we were evangelizing at a festival, and as I was wrapping up an open air a young man walks up and stands in front of me. Mockingly he points and laughs, he waves to his friends and gets them to join in on the foolish gesturing. I pointed back at the teenager and proclaimed "You ought to be ashamed of your self. You ought to be ashamed of your self! Your parents raised you better than that. I pray that this same gospel message you mock, that you would one day preach it!" The young guy turns and walks away in a laughing manner with his followers.

About 5 minutes pass and as I was standing next to a friend--we were chatting--that same young guy who mocked ferociously when I was speaking about Jesus came walking towards me with a friend. This time he wasn't mocking. He apologized to me and said that he was wrong for doing what he did. I asked him his name, he responded "Christian."

Ironic huh? This little glimpse in time is just one instance of God revealing his omniscience and sovereignty. God knew exactly what this young man needed to hear, and God controlled my mouth to say it.
