...then the God is present. These words have spoken to me powerfully over the past several months. You may know that I started a Tuesday morning men's devotional and breakfast this year; we meet every Tuesday morning at 7am at the church. I've had about 10 men who have joined at different times--some faithfully, others for a time or two.
This morning was like a few others I've had, where just me and one other friend showed up to pray. Realizing that this time is less about numbers and more about growth and fellowship, me and my friend read scripture, talked and shared our thoughts on the scripture, and prayed. Oh yea, we ate too! What a blessing it is to share in times like these with brothers and sisters in Christ.
Some have asked me "why are you doing this when at times just one or two folks show up?" Truthfully, I have gotten more out of this time than I have ever put into it. I have come to value those one-on-one (Jesus would tell me that it's a triad!) times just as much, if not more, as when we have a good sized group.
So I am thanking God for the way me and my friend laughed and shared in God's good grace today. What a fellowship, what a joy divine!
