Today let’s pray for JOY!
Seeing this rain should make all of us here happy. Even though the day is gray, I can just almost hear the grass and plants, and my garden, soaking up God’s nourishment to them. (Isn’t it amazing how much better God can water the garden than we can?) But we should be celebrating.
We should also be celebrating on this trip. The GOD we serve is in control. He is and owns everything! No matter what problems we face here at home – work, finances, relationships, family, sin – God will prevail. I like to think that you are happy because of something, but Joyous in spite of everything. That is what we need to portray as we travel; and maybe even exhibit more here at home. Our salvation and the grace that comes from God is beyond human comprehension. It does cover every aspect of our lives. Let’s remember that on this trip. No one will be attracted to Christ if we, as his followers, don’t show something different than everyone else. Smile. Don’t get hung up on little things. Smile. Love each other. Smile. Laugh out loud. And remember, even with all of our problems, most of the people we will encounter on this trip would give anything they have to just have the chance to live where we are.
See you guys tonight at church.
