On Faith and Prayer

On Faith: "Faith is worth nothing until it disregards the failure around us and rejoice in the faithfulness above us."  (Vance Havner - Day by Day - A Book of Devotions p. 150) On Prayer: "Prayer should be our first reaction, but too often it is our last resort." (Ed Nelson) "Prayer is much discussed, definitely needed, but seldom practiced." (Lamoyne Sharpe)  "We  must plead on the basis of His grace and mercy - not on our merit" Psalms 86:3  Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. " What a blesses assurance!  God will answer prayer.  May we believe Him for it."  Psalms 86:6-7  Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

Just a day late, but never too late to be thankful for our country and for the freedoms that we still have. 2 Chronicles 7:14  If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Lockhart Life In June

LOTS to be thankful for - so many blessings! Jeremy and Esther have been facing their trials in Brazil .  Esther has been battling some health issues, but the Lord undertakes for her and has given daily strength and grace.  She is improving and is working on a certain that diet that should help bring some relief.   Jeremy witnessed a bank robbery in Cuiba, Brazil this month.  We are thankful that he was not one of the vicitims.  Hummingbirds, flowers, mountain scenery - these are many of the blessings we see every day right from our own home. Our children have a heart for souls!  What more could we ask for.  There was a couple stranded on the road and David and MaryEllen stopped to help them, making sure their car got to a good mechanic and that the couple was taken care of until the car was fixed.  They were able to be a witness to this couple at the same time.  Divine appointment? Mel and I were privileged to take a vacation this mon...

Happiness, ASAP, Prayer

 My happiness does not depend on my circumstances" Psalms 1:1-6  Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.  The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. ***************************************  ASAP - Always Say A Prayer and do it As Soon As Possible. *********************** Remember prayer should be our first response, not our last resort.  note:  Do I n...
