Coincidence.

Just how many texts are there in the Bible that you could preach from - 20,000 maybe?
Some years ago, I went to the now defunct, Congregational Church in Killamarsh, Derbyshire with my old Pastor, Harry Webb.

I had arranged the date and he asked me to lead the service for him but we had no communication about what each other would do or say in the meeting. I felt led to Exodus.

I stood up and opened the meeting with a reading from Exodus 15:2.

'The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him.'

Imagine how zapped I was when Mr Webb stood up and the text of his sermon was .... Well. I reckon that you are probably way ahead of me!

All just one more amongst the countless, strange coincidences which affect the lives of those who live close to the Lord.
