Howdy Everybody…
Boy, yesterday was a “Jim Dandy” – a beautiful May afternoon… and then clouds and wind… and thought I’d better get the grass cutting done in the front yard… and the wind was cooling and pleasant. After I was inside for maybe 3 minutes – my dog, who is very sensitive to hearing and fearing thunder… begged to come in… and the heavens poured forth – for maybe 4 minutes… with a couple of BIG Thunder claps… and soon the sun was out again.
Some parts of the area were subject to very strong and high speed windstorms… so we’re still in Spring and it’s inherent instability. But nobody complains (except possibly the baseball players and coaches) and we’re happy to see it rain. We’re hoping our groundwater will recharge and get back to normal.
Sometimes in the middle of the week… Well let’s be honest, it’s more often than not … I’m in need of a recharge myself. And I’m so thankful for the midweek prayer service our church still has – in which praying is a big part, not just a moment or two.
All that to say – if our country is to be saved from the depths of despair and degradation which the news media carry in depth most days – it’s going to have to be done by praying Christians who are importuning the Lord for HIS blessing and not to give up on all this trouble. May I just suggest you pick up that slightly dusty Bible on the coffee table or in the bookcase… and look up Psalm 55. It’s an urgent prayer from an urgent person – and if you’re like me you may often find yourself in that kind of need. That’s when the prayer meetings really mean something special.
Well… keep reading, keep praying --- keep listening.
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack Buttram
