Prayer Ministry:
"Know that the Lord is God, It is He who made us, and we are His people, the sheep of His pasture."
Psalm 100:3
FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK:
One day, a youngster was really excited about getting to go fish with his dad. The inquisitive 7-year-old had lots of questions. "Dad," he asked, "what makes this boat float?" The father replied, "Son, I don't rightly know." A few moments later the youngster asked, "Dad, how can fish breathe below the water?" The father replied, "Son, I don't rightly know." After a few minutes of silence the youngster had another question, "Dad, why is the sky blue?" The father again replied, "Son, I don't rightly know." Another few minutes passed in silence when the youngster asked, "Dad, does it bother you that I'm always asking questions?" His father thought for a moment and said, "No, son, it doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I'm glad you ask questions. How else will you learn anything if you don't ask questions?" Our Heavenly Father is infinitely more resourceful than we are. Perhaps, we need to consider what kind of questions we might ask Him. Here are five:
1) Am I loving You with all my heart, soul, mind and strength; and my neighbor as myself? (Mark 12:30-31)
2) When You look at my life Lord, do you find anything that displeases You? (Psalm 139:23-24)
3) Did You really mean I am to be thankful in all circumstances or was that a typo? (I Thess. 5:18)
4) Am I seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness? (Matt. 6:33)
5) Why would you let your innocent Son pay for my sins when I am the one who was guilty? (2 Cor. 5:21)
Joyfully His, Bro. Dennis
