    Please dont forget that all we do with CMDA here in Atlanta happens because of the generous support of individuals throughout

    this community. If your life has been impacted by CMDA, we need you then to stand with us as a prayer and financial ministry part-

    ner. Consider a financial gift to CMDA of Atlanta today and make this strategic Kingdom ministry possible.

    The other morning in my morning devotions I was reading from the Life Application Bible notes in conjunction with 1 Samuel 12. I encour-

    age you to read this chapter today. The chapter recounts Samuel's "retirement party". And with it are Samuels parting remarks as he

    walks off the stage from his public prophetic ministry. In the chapter, Samuel spends a lot of time re-

    counting God's goodness and covenant faithfulness to His people. Here are a few excerpts...

    V. 7 Now stand here quietly before the LORD as I remind you of all the great things the LORD has done for

    you and your ancestors.

    Vs. 21-24 Dont go back to worshiping worthless idols that cannot help or rescue youthey are totally

    useless! The LORD will not abandon his people, because that would dishonor his great name. For it has

    pleased the LORD to make you his very own people. As for me, I will certainly not sin against the LORD by

    ending my prayers for you. And I will continue to teach you what is good and right. But be sure to fear the

    LORD and faithfully serve him. Think of all the wonderful things he has done for you.

    Now here are the comments from the Life Application Bible:

    Samuel reminded the people to take time to consider what great things God had done for them. Taking

    time for reflection allows us to focus our attention upon God's goodness and strengthens our faith. Some-

    times we are so progress- and future-oriented that we fail to take time to recall all that God has already

    done. Remember what God has done for you so that you may continue your life accompanied with grati-

    tude.

    We have spent a lot of time and energy in CMDA Atlanta pushing forward many ministry goals and objec-

    tives mission trips, fundraising banquet, student ministry, Resident fellowship, etc.... But let us not for-

    got that in the midst of our planning, preparation and implementation of the various ministry objectives

    and opportunities, what God has done in the past as well. We have a lot to recall, remember and be

    thankful for.
