No doubt you are thinking -- "What a strange title! Why should I love Wednesday?" Well, I will be happy to share it with you! When I awake on Wednesday mornings, I find my heart singing and beating with joyful anticipation as I eagerly look forward to the Wednesday evening Prayer & Praise service! To me, it is like a Booster shot -- it lifts me up, renews my strength and gives me new courage for what may await me on the morrow.
I know the mid-week service is very fragmented in many churches with the teens in one place, the choir in another, the children in yet another, etc. Soooo, if you want to call me "old-fashioned", it's fine (since I am 75), but I love to have the church family all together for this one hour of the week! I think it is important for the young people to hear the testimonies of the older saints---how the Lord has kept them true, never failed them and never been a disappointment! They need to be in the service when "the glory of the Lord fills the house!" And my heart is always thrilled and blessed when a young person testifies how God has answered prayer for them. Our pastor brings a short, encouraging devotional, and we take the needs of the church family to the throne of grace in prayer. No wonder I love Wednesday!!!
I wonder -- if your church does not have a mid-week service, perhaps the Lord would want You to be a Committee of One to talk with your Pastor about beginning one---I think you will soon love Wednesday, too!!
