--------------------------------
It is encouraging to notice what the Lord is doing in our midst these days. One way we notice that is by gathering together twice on Sunday. I pray there is nothing more important on your schedule Sunday morning and Sunday evening than the gathered, corporate praise of our God. We do what God's people have always done. Listen to this from 2 Chronicles 29.29, 20: "When the offerings were finished, the king and everyone present with him knelt down and worshipped. King Hezekiah and his officials ordered the Levites to praise the LORD with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they sang praises with gladness and bowed their heads and worshipped." And so will we.
Please pray that the Lord's day will be spiritually enriching to all of God's people.
“Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against His Anointed One. ‘Let us break their
chains,’ they say, ‘and throw off their fetter.’ The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the LORD
scoffs at them.” Psalm 2.1-4
