GOD COORDINATES OUR WAYS !!!

Mary Wheatley’s heart desire was to join the choir. She was a good singer. She had been singing secular songs all these years. But after she had accepted Jesus as her Savior, she made a vow to the Lord that she would sing only for the glory of God.

And when she saw a notice saying, ”Wanted: One soprano for summer position” in the church bulletin in Washington D.C on a Sunday morning in 1945, her joy knew no bounds. She lost no time in presenting herself to the choir director, who set up an audition for her on the following Sunday. After a lot of prayer, she selected “I walked today where Jesus walked” composed by Geoffery O’Hara, for her audition piece. All week long she practised.

But back at the church on Sunday, she made the dreadful discovery that she had left the music on the bus itslef. And then to her dismay, the choir director who gave her an appointment was out of town and decision about her selection was upto someone else.

The substitute organist was a friendly man, in his sixties. Mary with much hesitation told him that she had lost the music. “What piece where you planning to sing?” he asked. “I walked to day where Jesus walked” she answered.

Assuring her that he could play it from memory, he launched into the accompaniment. “You sang that exactly as it should be sung, and I welcome you to the choir”, the accompanist told her.

Mary was overjoyed. When she was about to leave, she thanked him profusely and asked his name. With a mischievous grin, the organist - and the composer - replied, ”Geoffery O’ Hara“! Mary marveled at the way the Lord HONORED her COMMITMENT to sing for Him alone.

Dear friends, when you make a firm decision that you will stand for the Lord, remember He will definitely honor your commitment. He will create favor in people’s eyes and co-ordinate things in such a way that you would be surprised to see the outcome. - GOD BLESS !
