Gather

Psalms 102:21-22 (ESV)              

Our first key word is “GATHER”.

Psalms 102:21-22 (ESV)              

“that they may declare in Zion the name of the Lord, and in Jerusalem his praise,

when peoples gather together, and kingdoms, to worship the Lord.”

As we see the farmers around us harvesting their crops, we see a demonstration of gathering. That which they have planted, tended, and cared for is being collected to then provide for seasons to come, as well as give testimony of God providing a bountiful harvest.

In much the same way, as we gather together here at the church, we are giving praise to the Lord, declaring His goodness and thanking Him for all that He has provided, and for that which He is going to do in and through us as we worship Him. Yes, we could do that at home on our own, but we are called to gather together and testify of ALL that He has done in our lives SO THAT we may encourage others around us until He calls us home.

Much like a holiday gathering where you are able to catch up with family that you have not seen in a while, your church family wants to hear what God is doing in your life, for this serves to encourage each other until the day of His return. In this way, God will be glorified in and through everything we say and do.
