Good morning. The cat is bird watching with an intensity that is the envy of Audobon, they may have a slightly different interest in the welfare of the bird though. So many things on my mind this morning, which one to write about? Last night in my Bible reading, I was struck by how much Paul cared for his readers in Rome. He writes that, day and night he brings their needs before God. That is a powerful testimony. I am sure that Paul suffered as much or more than we do each day. In those days there was not a lot of comfort to be had on journeys, and Paul's were epic. The beating and stoning that he survived by the grace of God probably didn't do his poor ol' bod any good either. Yet his prayers day and night were for other people, other believers in Christ. Bring your needs in prayer to God, the Bible instructs us to do this, but then move on and pray for your friends, neighbors, co-workers, and especially for your brothers and sisters in Christ. Today you get one long prayer request! Tomorrow, who knows, we may even have a devotional again. Actually, prayer is so important in our lives that entire books have been devoted to it and the Bible speaks of it often. Pray day and night, love the Lord Jesus with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength.
God loves you and so do I!
