Not So Fast!

Meeting with my prayer girls yesterday, as usual, proved to be a very productive time…..Of course, we had to disband early since we were meeting at Nancy’s and she goes to work at 11:30 therefore, we had to be ‘out of there’….Starting early gave us an edge…..
Except for one fact…..
God simply breathed inspired thoughts and words…..which were not our own invention ….into our conversation time as if to say…
”Now, Girls…..Not So Fast!”
We each knew….’we had been….had.”
Carefully, thoughtfully, clearly and precisely…..we each….Nancy, Abby and I…(Taina stayed home to receive guests)….received knowledge and foreknowledge of our faith relationship to God, family, friends and each other….Spiritually and mentally we began to .... ‘straighten up and take notice’….(Southern interpretation)…
The Scripture…the Word of God…..came alive to us and addressed our situation and circumstances of life in 2004.…
Actually…..’tis no surprise….for Jesus, Himself, tries to tell us this fact in Matthew 18:19 & 20 Living Bible Edition (sounds Southern even)…

Jesus said this…”I also tell you this---if two of you agree down here on earth concerning anything you ask for, My Father in heaven will do it for you…For Where Two or Three Gather Together BECAUSE THEY ARE MINE, I WILL BE RIGHT THERE AMONG THEM!”

Having even ’mustard seed faith’ qualifies for a prayer experience such as yesterdays encounter with the wonderful and mighty God of the Universe….and Abby…and Nancy….and Taina…and Faith and perhaps…YOU!
Yep….One Nation Under God…In God We Trust….God Bless America…
Words that invites us to sit up and take notice periodically…..of God!!!
Such faith ALWAYS is rewarded…yesterdays prayer time was not expressed as a ‘fast food’ agenda even though time was limited….but ended with a wonderful…Happy Meal…for…The Good Life!
