It’s amazing how God works. This past Sunday my Pastor shared testimony about how the Lord spared her and two of our ministers through high speed head on collision that ultimately involved a third car. Though items in the car were catapulted several feet away, and the car was completely demolished, the extent of damage to the Saints inside was limited to a few scratches. We all clapped and gave God a “you’re a good God” praise, and a few saints erupted into a quick “let me get my shout in” worship. “Amen”. “Yea, verily”. Just God doing his usual God Stuff, right???
As the details unfolded I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasnt reliving Sunday’s testimony…all was the same….head on collision, high speed crash, car demolished, but wait…..his loving wife and assistant Pastor killed??? The 14 year old grandson sadly departed from injuries sustained?? Gospel music legend Timothy Wright himself, clinging to life??? Critical condition? One of the MASTERS of worship and Praise and yet sorrow that many of us hope to avoid forever fell into his lap in an instant. THIS IS SOMEBODY’S PASTOR! As a matter of fact, due to the strikingly similar circumstances, this could have been MY Pastor! Things like this are truly sobering. As we minister in music to hundreds or even tens of thousands we must always remember our own mortality. Tomorrow is surely not promised, not even to the superstars or this family. It really makes one have a sense of urgency. Remember what our Lord said in John 9:4
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
Make every moment count. Reach every soul you can while you can. Our hearts and prayers go out to Rev. Wright and his family in thier time of need. You can read more details of his situation here. Praise God even now, he’s still “Holding On”.
