Week of Prayer

This week at our church has been set aside as a week of prayer.  As part of that observance, we put together a "Daily Bread" style devotional on prayer.  Each entry was contributed by one of our missionaries or pastors.
Day Seven

Pastor Keith brought our week of prayer to a conclusion with his thoughts on 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13. 


"Let us pray that we may abound (without limitations) in love for one another.  In this time when the generation gap and diversity of personal likes and dislikes, can easily lead to division, may that abounding love help us reach beyond such preferences.  Paul adds “and for all”.  A church where love abounds will have a heart that longs to see those not yet believers come into a personal relationship with Jesus."

The Lord's Prayer

"This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven" and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed by thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." ----Charles Spurgeon

My Sheep

I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel.  I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV)   This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland.  The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
