How Badly Do You Want It?

Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. And yes, several ladies from my home are braving it out with multitudes of others. Were there some amazing deals? Yes! Amazing deals! Would I like a nice flat screen TV for $200? Of course I would, but not by waiting in a line in the cold for 36 hours. Although there were some fantastic deals this morning, I'm not willing to stand outside in a line for that long, like others are. Seeing some of the lines of people on the news, waiting for store doors to open is mind boggling. Lines that wrap around buildings several times. I guess people are willing to do anything to save a few hundred dollars. One thing that I did think about with those long lines stirred me to pray. Can you imagine if that's how it looked for people lining up to get into church? Instead of people lining up for a product to buy, they were in line desperate to get into church. The long lines wrapping around buildings with people hungry for the presence of God. People willing to camp out in the cold because of their desire and need for God. It would be amazing! I do believe that there will be a day when people will be lining up around the life-giving churches of the valley, because it's there where they find something they can't find anywhere else. If people line up for a store sale, a concert and many other things, why not church?
