It has become a common practice to have reveal parties so expectant parents can tell what gender the newborn will be. There have been some great planning put into some of these parties as each one has become a little better or different from the usual. I recall recently where one of the major forest fires started through the displays of a reveal party. The reveal party is to display something that only two people know. James encourages us to have reveal moments in our lives and to display what is going on in our lives. We need to let others know. (James 5:13 Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise.) We are quick to reveal our happiness and joy. We post pics on FB. We tell our friends of all the good things that happen to us. But, we often don’t want others to know about our troubles and issues. We hold our problems and things that trouble us inside. We don’t reveal those to others. But, we need to make our petitions known to one another because the Bible says where two or three agree on any one thing, it shall be done. You need to have people whom you can have a “REVEAL PARTY” with at any time. You never know what gifts you will receive when other people know what you are going through. Pastor Don [image: image.png]
