Michael, the young boy who prayed before Tuesdays dinner, gave his life to the Lord tonight.
He heard the gospel message of Jesus Christ- it pricked his heart unlike it ever had before & he responded in faith.
Just 2 days ago he was tugging on the camp director's shirt asking to pray before every meal. Tonight he was broken before the Lord and praised God for a salvation that was previously unrecognized.
On Tuesday I asked Michael what he meant by his prayer when he said, God "...Thank you for us. & thank you for them." He said "us" were Christians and "them" signified unbelievers. I guess that in a weird sort of way- Michael was really praying for himself in the "them" category. But tonight he transferred teams from "them" to "us."
Does anybody else find it weird that we raise our kids, teach them to pray, & most likely we have little unregenerate souls praying to a God they don't know/have offended/and are at odds with?
I don't know how God works, but I praise him for this boy's profession of faith in Christ. Michael was among 13 or so junior high students this evening who confessed Jesus Christ as their King & Savior for the first time.
