God Wants Us to Ask

5/22/2009

0 Comments

 

God's people are to ask, seek, and knock in our prayer life.  He wishes to bless us in our daily lives and he knows what you ask as stated in Matthew 6:8.

I had a good laugh about the subject of asking.  Here goes:

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker function and begins to talk.  Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: Hello
WOMAN: Honey, it's me. Are you at the golf club?
MAN: Yes.
WOMAN: I'm at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat.  It's only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?
MAN: Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.
WOMAN: I also stopped by the Meredes dealership and saw the new 2009 models. I saw one I really liked.
MAN: How much?
WOMAN: $60,000
MAN: OK, but for that price I want it with all the options.
WOMAN: OK. I'll see you later! I love you!
MAN: Bye, I love you, too.

The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are looking at him in astonishment.  Then he smiles and asks: Anyone know who this phone belongs to?

May 4-8 is National Nurses Week across America.  We truly appreciate all our F.B.C. nurses and medical personnel.  You do an amazing work and we love you for it!

On a personal note, I am so proud of my whole family, but this week, I applaud Mrs. Adams for being nominated North Ms. Community Health Nurse of the Year and Dr. Trinity Nichols on being selected Fred’s Pharmacy Manager of the Year.  We are so thankful for you!
 
An important part of prayer is LISTENING TO WHAT GOD WOULD SAY TO US.  But sometimes God does not say what we want to hear.  A favorite story is about an agnostic who fell off of a cliff.  About half-way down he caught hold of a bush sticking out of the cliff.  There he was hanging, momentarily spared, but still too far from the ground to let go.  He begins to pray: “Is anybody up there?” he asks.  Again, “Is anybody up there?”  A voice answers, “Yes, this is the Lord.”  The man yells frantically, “Help me.”  There is a moment of silence.  Then the Lord answers:  “Let go of the bush and I will save you.”  There is another silence as the man looks down at the ground far below.  Finally he yells:  “Is there anybody else up there?”
