TEXAS Bar Sues Church !

Good morning,

This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:24.
“God saved us to make us holy, not happy. Some experiences may not contribute to our happiness, but all can be made to contribute to our holiness.” Vance Havner

Sis sent me a email that the more I think on it the more I decided to put it in today’s devotional.
Strange isn't it!! How would you like to be the Judge?
TEXAS Bar Sues Church
In a small Texas town, (Mt. Vernon) Drummond's bar began construction on a new building to increase their business. The local Baptist church started a campaign to block the bar from opening with petitions and prayers. Work progressed right up till the week before opening when lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground. The church folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, until the bar owner sued the church on the grounds that the church was ultimately responsible for the demise of his building, either through direct or indirect actions or means. The church vehemently denied all responsibility or any connection to the building's demise in its reply to the court. As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the paperwork. At the hearing he commented, 'I don't know how I'm going to decide this, but as it appears from the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer, and an entire church congregation that does not.'

I wonder how we share with people about God answering prayer. Are we vocal? Then back down in embarrassment when others hear us talking. Are we ashamed to share with others that we have been praying for them? If someone calls us and asks us to pray for them, do we stop what we are doing and pray with them on the phone; and then continue to pray for them when we hang up?

Father, I pray you help us to become bold in our prayers and witnessing to others.

Have a great day!
