Yes, that is the only word that really covers my title... or truly my thoughts today.
It has been raining for 3 days in Georgia...
I have been thinking this morning about a comment that my Pastor made yesterday about prayer... Abraham had prayed for Sodom and Gomorrah asking God to spare the city... he had prayed many times but God chose not to give him his request... Yet, Lot prayed one more time that God would spare one of the cities of the plain... and He did. The point is... just one more prayer... might be the one that "is enough"... the one that fills the vial... With that in mind, how important it is for us to pray! Thank you Lord for the means of grace...
...and thinking of that... brings hope to my heart. Hope that God hears our prayers and STILL ANSWERS them... hope that God has it all under His control... and hope because when the rain comes and the wind blows and we feel so threatened we can trust that we are safely sheltered "under His wings."
Thank you Lord...
Our Pastor made a similar comment. That he prays once, and then lets it go. Also, Dave preached a really great sermon last year about Sodom & Gomorah with a comparison to Ninevah. How God can use just one person to change an entire city if we just do what God asks of us. One person can make a difference just like one prayer can. America is teetering one way or another, and praying that one person makes the difference to change the direction America is headed. If you would like to hear his sermon, its at http://www.gracebaptistky.com/WMMG171B_021410.mp3 Love in Christ, Karen
