Thursday: Welcome to it. By the grace of God , we are made, and we are given days,, which the length of these days are numbered, but you can extend or descend that number,, He gave us that choice.. now , it is up to you to make that choice!
Prayer Request: Connie Vaughn, who is having her gall bladder removed today,, please pray for God
to guide the hands of her doctors, and that she recover fully, and recover fast.
US OR PRAYER?
Quote: "We are NOT masters of our fate, either individually or as a nation" per Billy Graham
We as a nation, boast of how we have done so many extraordinary things, such as penicillin, flight of a multi-ton aircraft, sent men to the moon,, have men floating and working in space,,, move some small mountains.. build vehicles that we can ride in for thousands of miles.. go underwater in subs from here to there for days.. blow up this whole world with a push of a button... BUT,,, in all of this,, we are only instruments.
If we are so great in our own mind,, and we cease to pray, that we can fix it,,then look out ,, for it will be taken, for we tend to pray only in great stress, danger or uncertainty. Christ instructed His followers always to pray, not just in emergencies, as we do.. It is very important to pray daily , and more if you feel like talking to God at any time.
We are not made to exist without prayer,, for from one end of the Bible to the other is the record of those who prayers have been answered, those who turned the the tide of history by prayer. Elisha prayed, and the son of the Shunamite woman was raised from the dead. Jesus prayed at the door of the tomb of Lazarus, and the one who had been dead for four days,, came forth from the grave, alive, even the thief on the cross next to Jesus , prayed to Jesus... so we are people of prayer, and without it we are nothing...if we were,, then why can we not control the earthquakes, virus' that lay thousands down to death , flood and freeze the land right here in the land of plenty,, then dry it up to where the land dies from thirst? John Wesly prayed and revial came to England,, what we cannot do,, He can, and will if we will only pray... another quote from Bily Graham: "Jesus died to make this communion and communication with the Father possible,, He told us of the joy in Heaven, when one sinner turns from sin to God and breaths the simple prayer: "God be merciful to me , a sinner." ."
So,, don't be fooled with the promise in the great halls of our government of the great things they are going to do,, whom have to even make an effort to sit next to each other,, for they are but human, and nothing can be reality,,, nothing,,, without
PRAYER OF REQUEST , TO OUR GOD!
and not prayer to ourselves!
God, thank you for sitting and hearing the cries of our sins, and the thankfulness for your gifts and forgiveness. amen
John HIcks
