As we talked about this transition, it became obvious to all that the best way to end this chapter is with a day filled with thanks! We want to pause on looking ahead for a day and instead look back at all that God has done in us and in what He has built among us. We want to build a monument to the Lord in the spirit realm, a statement before all who are listening on earth and in the spirit realm...He is good!
The Lord showed us a few years ago that the activity of declaring our thanks to Him for how He has led is like fragrant incense before Him. It pleases His heart. To fail to do this, however, is essentially the same as accusing Him of being a bad leader. We are telling Him that "we don't trust you with our future because we don't see anything good about the way you led us in the past". And none of us wants to do this. We know He is good and we know that our lives and journeys are a reflection of this...if we choose to see the good in it.
In the days of the establishing of Solomon's temple in 2 Chronicles, the priests and singers raised up a declaration before the Lord together: "the Lord is good and His love endures forever". On this final Sunday in SHOP Phase 1, we are excited to declare this once again. Come and celebrate with us as we step forward into what He has for us next. He is such a good leader.
Blessings!

It's not important that we know each other...we are known.
My hearts desire is to ask God Father's blessing upon the work He is doing in your lives. That he reveal himself in ways that are totally obvious and that the way before you is clear and in the Light of his presence..
I pray pray that he is the source of fulfilling your every need, right on time...that he, by his Spirit Word draw those who he wills to his fellowship amongst you...
I pray with praise and thanksgiving to the "Giver of Life"...for He is Life eternal...Amen and Amen....Shebet
