Good Morning,
The day began quietly and is much different than yesterday, when snow pounded us silly again. But each day is always different. Isn't it. I will embrace this morning with a cup of Door County Morning Blend Coffee and some prayer.
Proverbs 10:19 Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent holds their tongues.
I lead a small Bible study every Tuesday night and lately I have been blessed to have some help in doing so. What I want to take some time to talk about is the time we spend in prayer. Due to covid we have been meeting by having a Zoom Meeting. I am not fond of the Zoom Meetings, but for now they have to do. After each study is complete we ask each attendee if they have any prayer requests. If anyone does, and we usually have many who do, we pray corporately for each one. It has been long understood that what is said during prayer time stays in the prayer time. No one is to discuss the personal issues of another person thus making our prayer time fodder for gossip. That is what I like about it best. There takes place some awesome prayer and each individual can feel free to speak without fear of everyone knowing their deepest struggles.
Friends, can you keep what is said in confidence free from spreading faster than a new covid strain? Are you able to love your friends enough to keep things confidential? If so, you are a good person and a true prayer warrior. We all have flaws in our character, but if you can remain true to not spreading gossip you are a step above most. I implore you to keep it that way.
Today if you are one of those who can be entrusted with concerns of prayer, go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back. God is proud of you.
Have a great day.
Marty
