Orchestration - Now Think On This by Steve Martin

Orchestration
Now Think On This
Steve Martin


“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.” (Psalms 37:23, NKJV)


It is amazing how one’s life is orchestrated by the Lord if we have asked Him to direct our steps. I can attest to that in my own life, as I look back and see the pathway our good God has led over these many years. Truly it can be said that He will direct our steps - because we surely can’t do it. At least we can’t do it correctly.

Honestly did the Jewish prophet Jeremiah speak the truth when he declared, “I know, O Lord, that a man's way is not in himself, nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps.” (Jeremiah 10:23, NASU)

Our trust in the Lord to direct our steps must be daily, knowing that our times are in His hands. I love how David spoke of his dependence on the Living God of Israel, even as he was being chased down by King Saul in the desert. He was committed to having unwavering faith, knowing that “My times are in your hand; rescue me from my enemies’ power, from those who persecute me.” (Psalms 31:16, Complete Jewish Bible)

In all our facets of life, one thing is certain. Our faithful God will always be faithful.


When I longed to be in service with a ministry back in the 1980’s, while the office manager of an office equipment dealer in Lansing, Michigan, little did I know that the Lord would answer my heart’s cry with the plans He already had in store. Not only would He place me in a Christian ministry having a worldwide effect on the nations, and in particular with a calling to bless Israel, but over these past 31 years, He actually had me work on staff with seven ministries.

Beginning with Derek Prince Ministries in 1987, by God’s design I was then asked in the years to follow to serve with six others - Mahesh Chavda Ministries/All Nations Church (Mahesh & Bonnie Chavda), Vision for Israel (Barry & Batya Segal), Covenant Keepers (Rex and Carolyn Johnson), Samaritan’s Purse (Franklin Graham), Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and now Antioch International Church (Dr. Peter Wyns and Jesse Enns).

Who knows where the Lord will lead each one of us as we give ourselves to His purposes and plans? Only He can bring about such amazing orchestration, as He places each in His Body for the good and service of all. Truly we can and must fathom His ways.

“Can anyone fathom the spreading of the clouds, or the crashes that come from his canopy?  See how he scatters his lightning over it and covers the roots of the sea. By these things he judges the people and also gives food in plenty. He gathers the lightning into his hands and commands it to strike the target. Its crashing announces its presence and apprises the cattle of what is coming.” (Job 36:29-33, CJB)

We can rest in the peace the Father gives as we offer Him our trust and walk in His ways. Those who seek after Him will know of His hand upon them, and can walk in the knowledge that even in times of trouble, uncertainty, or whatever comes our way, He gives assurance that He is orchestrating goodness and love in our midst, for protection, guidance, and provision for each member of His Body.

Today you can decide as always to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Trusting in Him will bring about the desires of your heart. He knows where He is taking us.

 
Shalom and ahava (peace and love in Hebrew).

Now think on this,

2 more to go!

2 more to go!

Charlotte, North Carolina
USA

Greetings to all ye who have been following this countdown to my retirement, with these daily entries. The upcoming last two days are finally here!

On Tuesday, October 31, I am leaving the final "marketplace" employment for me, as it is known in some circles, while others may refer to it simply as secular employment. Overall it has been an interesting grand total of 52 years in workplaces.

As I walk along this memory lane, let me put those places in chronological order - for my sake and that of my family, especially! I hope you will join me for a few moments now, as I have recorded the people, places, and positions that have come and gone.

My first job? Delivering the daily newspaper Waterloo Courier, back in my hometown of Cedar Falls, Iowa. That mid-size town is located north of Cedar Rapids, west of Dubuque, south of the Minnesota state line, and northeast of the state capital Des Moines. I was in 6th grade, probably about 11 years old back then. The state of Iowa had a lot of pig lots, six-foot-high seed corn fields, and committed Iowans, either to the University of Iowa Hawkeyes or the Iowa State Cyclones. (Notice who I placed first!) As for me, I worked hard to increase my route delivery count from 15 to 63, and won a Sony cassette player one year for my grand efforts.

In 8th grade, after turning the legal age of 13, I got hired and joined the other high school boys at Rollinger's, a chicken and burger joint. Famous for the orange shake, as owner Russ Rollinger said it was, I liked working there. Russ and his father Lou claimed they had the original creative concept for the Big Mac burger sandwich, which he had called the "High Boy." On this job I got a whopping $1.10 an hour by the time I left two years later. I made sure I had a big wallet to carry all that cold hard cash around! (Photo: Russ Rollinger. Died Sept. 2013)

By the late summer/early fall of my senior year in 1972 at Columbus High School, I left football in the middle of the season to get hired on at Eagles, part of the Lucky Grocery chain organization. But the 3rd shift proved too much, and after a few years it was time for a day job. I settled in at Sartori Hospital in Cedar Falls - scrubbing floors, collecting garbage, and being befriended by the UNI (University of Northern Iowa) star football running back. It was his day job also. And I only got reprimanded two times for putting Chic Tracs (cartoon booklets with the Gospel message) on the hospital staff's lunchroom table.

A move to LaSalle-Peru, Illinois in 1974, after the high school graduation and a somewhat complete year at UNI, put me in the English Muffin Restaurant working alongside my older brother-in-law David Johnson and sister Mary Smith. Then it was the management at Kerr-McGee Treated Lumber Yard in Mendota, working together with church friends Kevin Grafton and Kelly Haas, also of LaSalle.

In 1980 several church/community families of Victory Church, which we all were members of, moved to East Lansing, Michigan. Noelle Clark, co-owner of the Canon office machine dealer companyHasselbring-Clark, along with her husband Ellis, hired this "cult member", as previously some thought it was, due to my involvement with Shiloh Fellowship, for their Office Manager position.

In the seven years to the "exact day" I worked there (Aug. 23, 1980-Aug. 22, 1987), I believe I had either hired directly, or was responsible for getting hired, at least eight more "cult members" - because my recommendations of these Christian workers proved to be accurate. (Photo: Hasselbring-Clark Company 1985)

It was then into the ministry of the Christian non-profits I went. This was my life-long dream, and heart of my life, as I approached the age of 33. Almost like Jesus did, except a few years later.

Beginning in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this part of the journey began with three years as the Financial Supervisor at Derek Prince Ministries, followed by four years at Mahesh Chavda Ministries, both in the south Florida city. I served with MCM as the Administrator. In July of 1994 the ministry relocated here to Charlotte, North Carolina, where we also established All Nations Church. I held that position for both the ministry and the church as Administrator until the end of 2000, when I went back to Derek Prince Ministries. They had also relocated to Charlotte between 1993-1994, and so from 2001-2005, for another five years, I once again served as the Director of Administration and Finance.

Sounds like a resume, right? The Lord had been faithful in all those years, keeping us close to His heart and my family through it all. I bless my good wife Laurie and children Josh, Ben, Hannah and Christen for walking this adventure together.

When the International Director of Derek Prince Ministries, David Selby, was approached by Barry Segal, co-founder of Vision For Israel and the Joseph Storehouse, in late 2004 to head up VFI's USA office as the Director, the six-month transition from one to the other took place. (Photo top: Vision For Israel staff, 2010. Bottom: Derek Prince Ministries 2004)

By July 1, 2005, I was then full time with Barry and Batya Segal, the ministry co-founders, and was responsible for moving the USA office from Savannah, Georgia here to Charlotte. This 700 church city on the NC/SC border was certainly continuing to be a landing hub for ministries!

In the spring of 2010 the Lord Yeshua (Jesus) gave me the desire of my heart once again - to begin our own ministry. Having served within the vineyards of several others for the previous 24 years, He had planned and purposed for me to start Love For His People. And thus I left VFI on June 30, 2010 to give my full attention to this work - supporting Israel and the Jews, while also sending humanitarian aid, along with biblical teaching using social media, to the nations. Others have now come alongside us over these seven years, joining in this work.

But as with most, those newborn and early years, and then walking on two feet, took awhile. The home mortgage, car payments, and daily life had to be provided. The $70,000 a year salary I had been earning dropped to $11,000 for that first year.

The income from the new ministry didn't quite do it, so it was back to work for me in the office realm with other companies and ministries. Seasonal and part-time jobs with Samaritan's Purse (Franklin Graham), Covenant Keepers (Rex and Carolyn Johnson), and the Charlotte Rescue Mission (Chris Moore) followed.

Finally, I was hired on at Charlotte Center City Partner in May of 2013, as the Accountant. First as a contractor for eight months, and then as a full-time staff member for these final four and a half years. The office is located right there in thriving uptown Charlotte.

And so here I am! Retirement occurs just in time for my 63rd birthday on Thanksgiving Day! And I am so thankful Lord!

I hope I didn't bore you with all this long employment history. But if you made it this far in reading, then you did good, and I appreciate your sticking it through with me.

We each have a history to share and should have a testimony with it, in order to declare the Lord Jesus' great work in our life. Your life hopefully shows His faithfulness too and acts as an encouragement to those who watch and maybe even follow after, that which we have lived. I hope you have those who have or will do that, in your walk with the Lord.

So now I will be able to give my full attention to the work of Love For His People, Inc. With at least 10 or more good years to walk out, Lord willing, I already highly suspect the Lord has an expansion coming, extending these tent pegs of the ministry, in His playbook. For that, I am most excited!

Be encouraged as you continue on in your walk with our Lord. Do well in blessing others as you also seek the Lord, knowing, and daily reassured, that the plans He has for you are well and good.

Ahava and shalom,

LoveMusic! - "Revival" by Robin Mark from Northern Ireland - with lyrics


"Revival" 
Robin Mark 
Northern Ireland
 - with lyrics

Aug. 11, 2017

Greetings LoveMusic! listeners,

Beginning in 1983, through the next 20 years, HosannaMusic! (a division of Integrity Music in Mobile, Alabama with Michael Coleman, Executive Director) was putting out great worship CDs. They produced over 200 live recordings during that time. 

Don Moen (one of the best of the very best!), Kent Henry, Randy Rothwell, Billy Funk, Ron KenolyDarlene Zschech, Martin Nystrom, Paul Wilbur, and Lenny LeBlanc were some of the ones we listened to for many years, as their CDs came monthly in the mail through subscription. (I was a subscriber from the very beginning cassette in 1983. Still have them all!) 

I remember from 1987-1990, Glenn Selby (grandson of Bible teacher Derek Prince) and I both worked at Derek Prince Ministries in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. We would be "anxious" to see who got their cassette/CD first in the mail with each live recording. Then one, or the other, would be a bit jealous I still think, if the other got it first!

Robin Mark from Northern Ireland certainly made his "mark" as one of the worship leaders with Integrity. I loved his music! (Still do. Just bought his latest one, entitled "The Great Hurricane".) Remember Days of Elijah, Garments of Praise, Jesus, All For Jesus and When It's All Been Said and Done? Robin Mark. Our All Nations Church worship team sang them often, especially Days of Elijah and this one we feature today, Revival.

Thank you, Robin, for your wonderful years of leading the world in worship. Maybe I'll meet you when I travel to Ireland next May! (Jim Clint, our good friend in Northern Ireland, I am sure knows you!)

Be blessed in your blessing others as you listen in worship to Jesus. 

Revive us, Lord!!!
