APPLAUSE FROM THE CHURCH

Today's reading: Joel

"...There are no joyful celebrations in the house of our God." Joel 1:16 NLT

When was the last time your church gave God a 'round of applause'?

A 'standing ovation'?

A 'cheer' that could be heard in the courts of heaven?

When was the last time your and your brothers and sisters in Christ were so much in awe of God that it moved you to celebrate Him?

Not what He had done...not how He had answered...not what blessings He had provided...but Him.

Might it be time we plan for celebrations of the Lord in our houses of worship?

Could it be that's just what's lacking?

Would it be that those accolades of praise will be just what will draw people to Him?
