I don't know if any of you watch college football, but if you do, you saw lots of celebrating this weekend! It was especially big because most of the SEC teams were playing their in-state rivals. Football is fun and winning is even more fun, especially when it is your team, but I witnessed some celebrating at church tonight that could not hold a candle to a sports victory! Seeing over 200 baptisms on video from the past year, hearing testimony of the faithfulness of God through sickness, disease, barrenness and despair are definitely reasons for celebration! And not celebration to a bunch of players, or to a coach, but to an ALL-powerful, ALL-sufficient, ALL-knowing God who is with us through it all!
So, I have a challenge for us all. No matter what you may be walking through right now, I encourage you to take a minute to list fifty things to praise God about, things worth celebrating about! Nothing is too small! (and the more trouble you have with this exercise, the more you need to do it!) Tuck your list somewhere safe, and refer to it when you need a reminder that we serve an amazing, loving God who will never leave us nor forsake us!
Celebrate Jesus! He is the reason you are alive!!
Love in Christ!
