It’s easy to get caught up in comparison and miss out on what God is doing in right in front of you. A few years ago, I decided to write down ways that I see the LORD moving on Sunday morning as the church gathered to worship. This list would grow quickly each week as I focused on what God was doing where He planted me, and stopped focusing on what other churches were portraying God to do via their social media.
- Loud voices. There were a few times in worship where the voices of the body could be heard echoing in the sanctuary area. Gave me chills. There’s just something powerful about a people of conviction proclaiming the name of Jesus and His power.
- I’m so thankful for the little feet the run to Akidz each week. The litter patter and chatter that takes place as they walk towards the Akidz area is something I’m so thankful for and pray for more of. I’m so thankful kids are welcome and wanted at Anothen. We have such faithful teachers and leaders in this ministry. They welcome those feet and chatterboxes each week with love.
- I’m thankful for those who were healthy that showed up and chose to be apart of the body’s worship to the LORD. This heart of thanksgiving leads me to a place where I’m more focused and thankful for the names and not focusing on the numbers. Seeing the faces of my brothers and sisters in Christ means so much.
Here are a few takeaways from yesterday’s worship at Anothen Church.
These are just a few of the ways I’m thankful I see the LORD move in yesterday.
