DAY 60

As I'm sitting here I'm reviewing what happened in the services this morning. There was a lot of excitement when people were sharing what God has done in their lives. We thanked God for showing Himself to Tony and Amity. We laughed at God's goodness to Vicki as He answered a simple prayer for a ride home. We agreed with Linda as she spoke about how it's easy to get too busy for God. And we celebrated the small and big changes that have taken place in the lives of many. It seemed right to me.

And it's caused me to wonder - "Why don't we celebrate victories more often?" They don't need to be huge ones - like starting a ministry or being part of ten friends coming to know Jesus. They could be small victories, like choosing to become part of a small group OR trusting God (rather than trying to exert control) when people we love disappoint us. This morning was energizing. It doesn't mean that every trouble will disappear for those who gave testimony but God has worked for good in their lives and He deserves praise.

I think the 60/60 Experiment is all about opening the eyes of our hearts so that we can see God more clearly . . . . . and we can praise Him for what He has done and is doing.

And that leads me to this week. I'm really glad that our Soul Revolution Campaign has formally finished the week before Thanksgiving. There is so much to Thank God for -and now we can see Him more clearly and thank Him more personally.

May you continue to connect with God regularly and deeply.
