πIt's the Friday Call to Worship!π
Blessing Offor is a Nigerian-born singer, songwriter and musician. He was born blind in one eye and with compromised vision in the other. Blessing's parents made a gut-wrenching decision for him to move across the world from them at the tender age of six. Their sacrifice was to save his vision through first-world medical care.
Offor underwent countless surgeries, only to lose his vision completely in an accident when he was ten. He feared his parents would consider him a failure for losing his vision as their sacrifice had shaped all of their lives.
Offor asks hard questions in today's Call to Worship song. From unseeing eyes, he asks himself and the Lord if he can still believe when things don't go "right".
Have you ever given up everything for something (or someone) and it seemed to be for naught? Or traversed great trials, only for everything to change in an instant?
A sinless Savior died and rose again so that life on this earth is not the end of our story. The outcomes are fleeting. Our purpose is eternal.
There will always be something that doesn't go right in this world. But that's not what we're here for. We will never got wrong with putting our hope in the God who is still bigger than our biggest problem.
Offor said he'd rather have his challenges be visible to everyone than have them in his head or heart. Listen to his song, "Believe" today, and render your heart's challenges to God.
