why?
although i may be young, and although i may know a thing or two about technology. i, however, am not one to utilize the amazing resources available to allow me to communicate with you, who ever you are (family, friends, acquaintances). So here is my first real attempt to communicate with you. the purpose of this “blog” is not for me to get things off my chest, although i may do that sometimes, its purpose is for communication. this is a means that i pray would end in prayer. prayer from you and prayer from me. it has been said that, ” the devil is not terribly frightened of our human efforts and credentials. but he knows his kingdom will be damaged when we begin to lift up our hearts to god.” the god we worship is not a God who is deaf to those who call upon his name, he even invites us to do so in Jeremiah 33:3 “call to me and i will answer, and i will tell you great and mighty things which you do not know.” i all too often do not take advantage of this great and wonderful promise. through this blog i pray it will in some way drive me to prayer. and i MUST be driven, i must not pray because the act of it is a habit of mine. i must have a true passion to pray “strong desires make strong prayers.” my desire is to see god glorified in my life, this is a tool for his glory. its a mind blowing thing that God calls us to pray, in fact before God gives jeremiah an invitation to pray, God gives his credential “thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it to established it, The LORD is His name.” God has made the world can he not hear those who CRY OUT to him??? but when i say cry out, i do not mean a simple “hey lord, help me” i mean a down and dirty, nitty gritty desperate crying out to god for him to move, from this point god can move, at the point of desperation god move the best. why? because at the point of desperation we have no power over our situation, desperation is humbling. for “god opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” how we need the grace of God and if for me to be in a place of humility is needed to get Gods grace i will gladly go. so in many words i ask that you please pray. thank you.
