IT'S JUST TALK

You know people that way.

They say they are going to do a lot of things or

make promises and none are ever fulfilled.

It's just talk.

This morning while reading my Bible I read of 

a woman who had a need.   To her it was a real,

hurting, desperate need.  And her prayer was a 

prayer of desperation.  Of course God answered 

it.

That made me reflect back over a long life and

the answers to pray.  True, many of my prayers 

are answered that are simple little prayers with

out much thought.  But the ones that were  answered

with a pure miracle from heaven it's self were

desperate prayers.  Not just talk, or chatter, but

a prayer of desperation to God almighty.

A few years ago I was in the barber shop waiting 

my turn.  I was talking with one of the local 

pastors and he told me that every miracle that

he personally knew about was the result of a

desperate prayer.

What's the point.

When you pray, if you do, are you just talking,

or serious and getting ahold of alrighty God?

LIKE AN EAGLE

It had been a hot muggy day when a storm front came

up.  So, grandpa headed to the front porch and a rocking

chair.

As happens often around here, in those conditions a group

of hawks will go for a fly.  You know, like the first warm

day after winter and a bunch of "bikers" decided to go for

a ride.  Lots of times I have seen a half dozen or more 

hawks get out there and just soar around in the wind having

a great time.  I will confess to being envious.  It sure does 

look like fun.

While watching those hawks something clicked.  Lately

I have been feeling guilty about feeling so well for an old

man when so many of my "peers" are so sickly.

You see, back when I was only seventy nine years old I 

came down with "Acquired aplastic anemia".  That means

that my body quit making blood.  Of course I about died

and have no idea how many doctors I have seen.  And of

course have had a number of different treatments.

No, I am not feeling like a teen ager.  But for some 

time now I have been feeling so well and working 

longer that truly I was feeling guilty for feeling so

good.

What was it that clicked?

Some time ago [And I do not know quite what I

mean by that.] being acquainted with this portion

of Scripture I decided to put this truth to work and

"wait" or "trust" in or "depend" on God over my 

health issue.  It says;

"Yet those who wait for the Lord

Will gain new strength;

They will mount up with wings like eagles,

They will run and not get tired,

They will walk and not become weary.

(Isaiah 40:31 NASB)   

Here I was enjoying the best health I have had

in a number of years and enjoying watching some

birds doing what God was helping me do in the

restoration of my body.

PRAISE GOD.
