Underdog Wins!! 11/11/2011
There is something deeply gratifying about seeing “the expected loser” win! Against all odds, from the back of the pack, with burdens unimaginable, these people rise from their graves of defeat to be crowned victorious! They press through the crowd to receive the prize! Monday night at the Wings of Life was extraordinary! Wave after wave of deep praise and thanksgiving rose from this crowd of recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. I kept thinking of Luke 7:47. A woman, known to be “a sinner,” interrupted dinner at a Pharisee’s house. She came in to give thanks to Jesus. Jesus said, Therefore, I say to you, her sins, which were many, are forgiven, for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little. Common people heard Jesus gladly. To the selfrighteous He said, crooks and whores are going to precede you into God’s Kingdom. Matthew 21:31 (The Message) If you have ever been down and out, if it should dawn upon you, how separated you were from God before Jesus came into your life, therein is cause for unusual thanksgiving. Let the praise begin! DFM has the great privilege of Reaching Underdogs (like me) for the Glory of God! May your Thanksgiving be filled with deep gratitude as we celebrate His mercy upon our lives. This year, BE EXTRAVAGANT in your giving of praise!
