Divine Appointment

See as He sees

Feel as He feels

Do as He would

Faith and prayer heals

His patience- help someone in need

His service- hope fills the air

His kindness- offer in meekness

His love, His care- hearts freely share

By divine appointment

We recognize a need

And help a soul He sent

As his spirit leads

At first our eyes may fail

The Spirit prompts, "Look again!"

In the heart, a warmth swells

A soul's in need of a friend

Two paths cross, God is there

In the details in the care

This is not by chance- share

Through covenants, we are made aware

[Verse 1]

See as He sees

Feel as He feels

Do as He would

Faith and prayer heals

His patience, help someone in need

His service, hope fills the air

His kindness, offer in meekness

His love, His care, hearts freely share

[Chorus]

By divine appointment

We recognize a need

And help a soul He sent

As His Spirit leads

[Verse 2]

At first our eyes may fail

The Spirit prompts, “Look again”

In the heart, a warmth swells

A soul is in need of a friend

[Chorus]

By divine appointment

We recognize a need

And help a soul He sent

As His Spirit leads

[Bridge]

Two paths cross, God is there

In the details, in the care

This is not by chance—share

Through covenants, we are made aware

[Final Chorus]

By divine appointment

We recognize a need

And help a soul He sent

As His Spirit leads

[Outro]

As His Spirit leads

As His Spirit leads

Divine Appointment, October 2026 

Minister to the One God Places in Your Path

A few years ago, my wife and I were waiting to board a flight for a much-needed vacation. We arrived at the airport early, and I put my earbuds in and started reading a book, thankful for a few quiet moments to myself.

Before long, I glanced up and saw a young missionary sitting across from me. He looked frightened and anxious. His eyes were closed, he was rocking back and forth, and tears were streaming down his cheeks. Clutched in his hands were his boarding pass and a digital alarm clock.

After briefly imagining the various reasons a missionary might look so anxious, I returned to my book. But the Spirit prompted me to look again.

Farnes, sustained in 2025, urges covenant followers of Christ to recognize everyday encounters as God-ordained opportunities to minister with compassion, drawing from the Good Samaritan parable and sacrament covenants.
