Joel 2:23
Be glad, O people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains in righteousness. He sends abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before. (NIV)
AS BEFORE!!!
I have always sat enthralled, as the adventures of the previous generations have been recounted. Whether they are from the history of the local Corps, or from the experiences of Officers’ involved in ministry. As the stories are retold, the amazing thing is the sense of joy, excitement, and passion about the times being shared. More often than not, many of the occasions have been victories through some really tough events and times.
Perhaps if there are people that have influenced, encouraged, and inspired you, an honour roll could be shared. Lord God, we give you praise for the saints who have been influential in our lives, and who are in glory with you, like, Toppie Whiteley, Ted & Lillian Nowell.
Many young people are seeking to do ministry today with the same enthusiasm that was evident in the pioneers. The Youth, are also seeking to be pioneers into new mission areas. This is really exciting!!!
Is this the same ‘as before’, or ‘back to the future’?
Lord, you have been the all sufficiency of those who have gone before; now refresh your people in this day. Amen.
