Celebrating the 4th of July

The headlines said it all, “Fewer at Taste.” Attendance is down by 700,000. A drop of 21% because the City of Chicago decided to eliminate their customary fire works exhibit and in its place, three separate events. In Calumet City the big fireworks exhibit lasted all of 19 minutes. Now I really don’t like going to places where there are such large crowds…however, those are excellent places to pray.

While most people are pushing their way to delectable goodies that are not really good for them, or looking for a great place to see the fireworks, we intercessors can have a really great time praying for the vendors as well as people coming for the sights and sounds. And how about those in our community who are enjoying their day off at home? We can take the opportunity to meet our neighbors and pray for them too.

Happy Fourth of July America…Let’s all pray for revival to come before the next Fourth of July!
