Paul started a church in Thessalonica and in one of his letters to them he recommended that they pray without ceasing...what good advice this was!!

 Romans 12:12  says to us in the Amplified Bible version

  constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength],

Keeping in mind that Christ bringing us to the Father gives us the confidence of knowing God, our Father, is eager to share Himself with us, to be our strength while the Spirit comforts and holds us tightly as we go through our times of troubles and despair with Them there all the way through. 

However, it's not only through despair and troubles and being up against adversaries that He cares for us....it's when we're seeking our day to day way through the mundane and mindless areas of life. If we find things are boring and the same old grind, then we're obviously NOT looking to the God of wonders for our inspiration.  I wonder why this is? Too used to thinking from the same old box? Even when we guide others into seeking their best by asking our Lord for help...do we forget to do this for our own selves?

Maybe so.

If you want a life that is different...ask.

If you want a life more filled with knowledge...seek.

If you want a life that is more....be persistent and expect to exercise some muscle...whether physical or spiritual.

Hey...He wants our attitudes to be eager with love!

maybe this is where being like a child comes into play...there's nothing more persistent than a curious child. And, nothing more eager than that child recognizing the answers are being given freely by the One that Loves him....right there...right there...just go ask! Listen! receive!

ahhh...another point to ponder... 

Today's scripture is from James

Chapter One

Verses Five and Six

The Easy To Read Version(ERV) phrases it like this.....

  Do any of you need wisdom? Ask God for it. He is generous and enjoys giving to everyone. So he will give you wisdom. ⁶ But when you ask God, you must believe. Don’t doubt him. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is blown up and down by the wind.

Which goes right on along with where I stopped yesterday.

Our go-to source for answers to any problem or wisdom on a subject should be God. And...I feel, though it's not saying so right here, that they're speaking of God as the Trinity Godhead. All facets of God in His being.

Just my thought.

Beyond that...am thinking it's OK to read material you feel led to...assuming it stands up to the test of being consistent with the Word.

AND...once He leads you to a revelation...believe Him. 

Sometimes things are such a strange idea from our normal pattern that we want to doubt, but when we do that we're not trusting and when we're not trusting we're calling God a liar. He's not, but we know who is and where this doubt is coming from.

humm...think I'll stop here.
