Reflect and respond

Read the lyrics to song 777 in the songbook and reflect on the words ‘more grace is wrought in quietness than any is aware’.

Read Numbers 14:24. Pray that, in this significant time between Ascension and Pentecost, the Holy Spirit may come upon the waiting host and discern someone who is motivated by a ‘different spirit’, who can communicate and be an inspiration of that enthusiasm, courage and love for the Lord to the whole Salvation Army.

It is not always easy to calm down – as leaders we are all used to getting things done. Yet, in quiet waiting upon the Lord and gentle conversations, with one another – as well as plenty of laughter and beautiful fellowship during meal times – a consensus is reached.
