Have you noticed how much praying for revival has been going on of late – and how little revival has resulted? I believe the problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work. To pray for revival while ignoring the plain precept laid down in Scripture is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble. Prayer will become effective when we stop using it as a substitute for obedience.

"Old Goats"
 
A group of Americans were traveling by tour bus through Holland.  As they stopped at a cheese farm, a young guide led them through the process of cheese making, explaining that goat's milk was used.  She showed the group a lovely hillside where many goats were grazing.
 
"These" she explained "are the older goats put out to pasture when they no longer produce."  She then asked, "What do you do in America with your old goats?" 
 
A spry old gentleman answered, "They send us on bus tours!"
 
 
"Vicarious Learning"
 
 
I've always been handy at fix-it jobs around the
house and I've tried to train my children to follow
suit.
 
Recently one of my sons asked his wife to hold
the flashlight while he replaced a faulty electrical
switch.
 
Only mildly interested, she asked him after a
short pause, "How did you learn to do this stuff?"
 
"By holding the flashlight," he replied.
 
 
"Pastor Resigning"
 
 
The pastor shocked the congregation when he announced that he
was resigning from the church and moving to a drier climate.
After the service, a very distraught lady came to the pastor with
tears in her eyes.  "Oh, Pastor Bob, we are going to miss you so
much.  We don't want you to leave!"
 
The kindhearted pastor patted her hand and said, "Now, now,
Carolyn, don't carry on.  The pastor who takes my place might be
even better than me."
 
"Yeah", she said. "That's what they said the LAST time too! And
he wasn't!"
 
 
Have a Blessed Day
