Prayer of a Missionary
"Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the whole earth as your possession." Psalms 2:8
I read this verse today in my daily Bible reading and I immediately realized that I am still a missionary at heart. Upon reading the verse, I felt that lump in my throat, that certain racing of the heart, as I thought about the possibility of impacting nations for Christ from West Monroe! We are looking at some awesome possibilities of expansion and faith adventures for Christ and I find myself dreaming of reaching multitudes both here in north Louisiana as well as the "uttermost" parts of the earth. The nations are there for the asking. God said, "Only ask...!" So...I AM ASKING GOD FOR THE LOST OF THE WORLD!
Me with Cassidy RileyThis past Wednesday night 14 year veteran wrestler Cassidy Riley shared his testimony with the youth. I hear they saw some video footage of Cassidy in the ring and heard some of the behind the scenes stories from the world of professional wrestling. Cassidy's message to the youth was simple..."Keep God first in your life and He will do more in and with you than you ever imagined possible. Take your eyes off of God and trust in your abilities and talents and you will never fulfill your potential in life." Now, that's some good stuff!
I am thanking God today for our freedom and for the huge blessing of being chosen to be born in this great nation of America. This is the greatest nation on the planet! I gotta run, gonna eat me some bar-b-que and then go join the Life Church Serve Team for a water outreach at the fireworks display on the river tonight!
