SENSE THE URGENCY

It’s Sunday. I love this day; waking up at 5:30 and in by 6:30 to face one of the best family reunions ever to be held. Today is not a “take it or leave it” kind of day. Today matters.

God has been listening to all sorts of worship expressions toward Him….for hours. The Chinese are just now concluding their evening worship as we crank up our morning services. Choral groups have sung His praises already in Turkey as well as Johannesburg. Plus the night stars and the morning crickets are simultaneously joining in on the Most Excellent worship service. Creation groans too deeply for any one language to capture our gratitude toward the Creator. The Holy Spirit must help us.

It’s Sunday. I wonder how Heaven is moved by the millions of voices offering various songs and speeches in multiple languages all at the same time. It must be…..heavenly!

It’s Sunday. Everyone must be encouraged. Everyone must understand the Word for them. Everyone must sense his or her meaning in God’s kingdom life. Everyone.

It’s Sunday and a sense of urgency fills our spirits as we cannot keep quiet; we cannot be shy. We will not be satisfied ‘til God is lauded with cheerful salute from here to there. Sense the urgency.

I love Sundays and thinking about Christians all over the world simultaneously worshiping God. It's a great feeling. And I love the way you included nature in that! Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord!
