Recovery time!

4:52 p.m. Today's project was to recover in every sense of the word from a righteously hilarious and love-filled day of August party fun!

This was a big weekend for millions of us Christians in Southern California for a much bigger reason, the Harvest Crusade. Whether we prayed, posted flyers, invited friends, attended, provided transportation (like my son-in-law did for us), worked the week before on physcially setting up the venue, or feeding the workers, Harvest Crusade staff and performers, we all had a part in the salvation of tens of thousands of souls.

In I Samuel 30, David and his men rescued their wives and children from the Amalekites. Some men had stayed behind, too exhausted to continue. After the victory, some "wicked and worthless men," said that the ones who stayed behind should not share in the spoils. David then established a regulation for fairness for his army when they went on their raids and rescues, v. 23-25:

But David said, "My brethren, you shall not do so with what the LORD has given us, who has preserved us and delivered into our hand the troop that came against us. For who will hear you in this matter? But as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike." So it was, from that day forward; he made it a statute and ordinance for Israel to this day.

SoCal Christians prayed, donated and battled trials and enemy attacks in order to support the three-day Crusade, with resounding results for the Kingdom of God.

We've taken just a bit of refreshing rest today, while maintaining vigilance in prayer, and are right back at our Father's business!
