DO YOU BARGAIN WITH GOD?
Have you ever prayed for a sale? I have. I've asked the Lord to send me a serious buyer, as I'm driving to the office in Shell Knob for floor time.
There is also my twice daily prayer for my big listing just outside Shell Knob, which I have to drive by twice daily. I am calling it sold, and thanking the Lord for the sale. No - I'm not planting statues of St. Joseph - but obviously some people are, if I find ads for the statues in my real estate magazine!
Prayer has been on my mind lately. I came across a new thought from a book I'm using in my daily quiet time," 31 Days of Praise". It is in the concluding, daily prayer they suggest, in which you cover most of the parts of your life, that the final portion stuck out. It is something that I've NEVER prayed.
HOW WILL I DIE?
The prayer : "I give You my body and each of its members... my entire inner being......................WHEN AND HOW I'LL GO HOME". It's this last part that has got me to thinking. As a Seasoned Citizen, I know the 'WHEN' part could happen any day, and as I read our local obituaries, I have a curiosity as to HOW these souls have died.
Will I be hit by a train, drown in a boat accident, die in the hospital after months of fighting cancer? I have two close friends currently dying of cancer.
My mother-in-law sat down in her favorite chair and died instantly when her heart stopped. As for me, I will continue to leave it up to my Lord WHEN AND HOW I'LL GO HOME.
