The 24 Hour Countdown

 At the time of this writing, the clock is ticking toward the final twenty-four hour countdown before our scheduled camp meetings begin. Sean Decker will be traveling into town later today to lead us in worship this next week. Sean serves the FBC Seminole as the worship minister there for over the past decade. God's hand rests on him. 

We are nearing the completion of reading through the entire Bible out loud as a congregation over the past eight days. We have people reading through I Corinthians currently and will finish with the last chapter in Revelation to begin the morning service. Many private and public prayer meetings have been held. We held a solemn assembly of repentance Wednesday night. Personal repentance has gripped the hearts of God's people. A slow hunger has built over the past months. People have become focused on more than normal church. 

This is the last day of personal preparation for me. A day to sit before the Lord. To repent of any unconfessed sin. A day to soak in God's presence. A day to bask in Him. 

Expectations are running high among many. Excitement permeates conversations. Now we wait to see what God will do. How He will shine His light in the darkness all around us we do not fully know. His light is needed. From Uvalde to Ukraine needs His light. From the Whitehouse to our houses needs His light. From Congress to California, and from Hollywood to the backwoods needs His light. In every shadowy corner, in each soul engulfed with darkness, we trust that Jesus the Light of the World will shine. To lead people to repentance. To open blinded eyes to the need for the Savior. 

In this little corner of the world, the Spring Creek Community and Parker County, may we see God rule and reign in the hearts of people. May He be pleased to save the masses and to send them to churches all over the county. May the flames of revival burn hot in the hearts of His people and may those flames spread into other congregations throughout this region and beyond. Those are some of our thoughts and prayers during this last twenty-four hour countdown.
