Dear Young Christian:
Are you praying about something special this week? I was encouraged by reading about some young men who were taken directly from school to the National Service training camp. Life became tough. The only bright spot was on Lord’s Day mornings when the Christians were able to meet together to encourage each other in the Lord. Then came the shattering blow — a new commanding officer. “No more religious services in this camp,” he shouted on his first Monday on duty. The young men took the matter to a higher authority — THEY PRAYED! Before the end of the week the Lord had this godless officer transferred — he lasted only a week, but the Lord’s Day gatherings continued without a break.
If you are praying about something that seems insurmountable, remember God our Father is greater and higher than any problem you encounter. “The King’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: He turneth it whithersoever He will” (Proverbs 21:1).
