Prayer Focus - December 2010
““PRAY FOR A HEART OF WISDOM”

So soon another year is closing up on us. It is the last year of the first decade of another century. The year might end with some people we love no more with us, with some remarkable things totally changed, and ourselves having undergone some irreversible bodily or physical changes.

Let us, this month, go back to Psalm 90 and focus our prayer on the reflections of the psalmist. Are we ‘gaining a heart of wisdom’ over the years? Our prayer focus this month is “Teach us Lord, to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12).

Quote of the Month - December 2010
HOW IS GOD USING YOUR CHAINS?

““While recovering in the hospital from a serious auto accident, I received a letter from a total stranger who seemed to know just what to say to make my day brighter. In fact, I received several letters from him, and each one was better than the one before. When I was able to get around, I met him personally. I was amazed to discover that he was blind, a diabetic, handicapped because of a leg amputation (and since then the other leg has been removed), and that he lived with and cared for his elderly mother! If a man ever wore chains, this man did! But if man ever was free to pioneer the gospel, this man was! He was able to share Christ in high school assemblies, before service clubs, at the “Y,” and before professional people in meetings that would have been closed to an ordained minister. My friend had the single mind; he lived for Christ and the gospel. Consequently, he shared the joy of furthering the gospel.” Our chains may not be as dramatic or difficult, but there is no reason why God cannot use them in the same way.”
