Worldly Number Game

I overheard this comment, "The 'XYZ program' very little people attending. Only X number of people went." It was as good as hearing that they were skeptically snaring about the program. In fact, when I visited the program, it was well attended. I am not sure why people make such comment. Either they are poorly informed or they are just 'waiting' for something to happen. Well, many a times we do make such a passing comment innocently. But our mind should really be transformed. The numbers are important but do not let the numer becomes bigger than our head or our LORD. Cliche as it may be, this is so valuable that we shd be looking at the 1/2 filled glass. When we see such a situation, are we quick to give thks to the Lord for those who came? Do we pray for these people, that they may be encouraged to faithfully return for the activity? Do we pray that their lives will be transformed and challenged in this new program? Or are we just looking at the spaces and shaking our heads?
