The Final Month of a Unique Year Scott Pauley

2020 has become a byword for the unexpected and unusual. While we have all laughed and cried at the twists and turns of this year, let me encourage you not to blame 2020. God gave us this year to live and serve. 2020 will forever be a historical marker, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could look back and say that was when the Lord began a deep work in our hearts and nation that continued for years to come?

As we approach the final month of this unique year I am truly grateful for how the Lord has guided and provided. He always does. Several weeks ago I had a fairly mild case of COVID. My smell and taste have not yet returned (hoping that changes for the holidays!), but my sense of God’s graciousness to me has been heightened. I give Him glory.

December is always a slower month for evangelistic and revival meetings. Tammy, Grant, and I look forward to having the girls home from college and spending time together as a family. Please pray for us as we approach these year end meetings…

    Yes Bro. Scott, I told someone the other day that the old adage, ” Hindsight is 2020″ will probably fall out of use ’cause NOBODY is gonna be wanting to look back at this one, ha!
    Blessings on the journey!
