called haze, a theatrical humidifier to thicken the air to enhance
lighting. Both Lee Fellowship Hall and Sanctuary hazers are
water-based and safe.

NOTES
traditional worship

The hymn following the pastoral prayer, Have Thine

Own Way Lord, is a song of submission, but in the
submission is the willingness to go at Gods speed.
Thou art the potter and I am the clay reflects that
heart attitude. The clay never tells the potter what
to do nor how long to be in the kiln! In the words of
the late Bryan Jeffery Leech, All too often, rather
than Samuels words, Speak, Lord, your servant is
listening. we operate at Listen, Lord, your servant is
speaking! There is a theology of time. Its most often
called, waiting! Think of how very often people in
Scripture had to wait for Gods perfect timing. (E.g.,
Abraham, 25 years for Isaac. Israel, 430 years for
deliverance from Egypt.) Why then are we in such a
hurry? To submit to the Lord, is to submit to Gods
timing, which is seldom ours, and always perfect.
Verse two of the hymn deals with our confession of
sin. This hymn was written by a person who had tried,
unsuccessfully, to raise funds for a missionary trip to
Africa. During a prayer meeting she came to a place
of peace in accepting the circumstances, and bowing
before her Father in submission to His will. May the
Lord speak to you this morning about the speed at
which you are going! - Dr. Dan Sharp
