This snow blanketed farm is on Grandview Road
north of Mount Joy. Many preserved farms dot our landscape
and we are sure grateful for that, including this one.

"Ask
Jesus"
Message summary: Our God
is faithful to listen to the cries of His people and
meet every need we present to Him.
Note:
Due to technical difficulties we are still unable to
create a podcast.
"Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you" (Jeremiah 29:12).
We enjoy visiting with a variety of people
in our chaplaincy ministry including Josh. He has
worked at the Audrey's Warehouse
since we started serving as their company chaplains
nearly 5 years ago. He is a diligent worker and an
asset to the company.
When Josh was younger he was a special
Olympian, having won several gold medals in swimming.
Josh thoughtfully likes to give me ideas for
Bible teachings since I have an opportunity to present
a brief devotional for those who choose to attend
morning prayers. He inadvertently did so yesterday!
He also has a witty sense of humor. Audrey's
is a wholesale distributor of home decor items such as
you might see at a Crackerbarrel store. Yesterday as I
was talking to Josh I saw a sign, "Fresh Baked Pies,
Served Daily" which reminds me of the kind of pies you
would eat at a diner. It prompted a hankering for a
piece of pie!
I asked, "Where can I find one of those
fresh baked pies here?" Without hesitation Josh
answered, "You'll just have to ask Jesus".
Now that's both humorous and good advice. I
thought of it this morning as I continue to deal with
computer problems related to my microphone. I have
scoured the web for a solution and then it occurred to
me that I hadn't prayed about it after the problem was
not quickly resolved. Admittedly I don't always ask
Jesus for help when I should, although it doesn't
always mean we'll get the answer right away as I am
still having microphone problems!
Two weeks ago we shared a message titled "God Can Take It" based upon a
question John the Baptist had for Jesus. God can take
our questions, big and small, simple or complex,
as in the case of John who was expressing some
doubt.
Today's verse states, "Then
you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I
will listen to you" (Jeremiah
29:12).
We call on
the Lord for a variety of reasons, and we are reassured
that He is not too busy or distracted to hear us since
He tells us, "I will listen to you". We need to
seek the Lord while He may be found; to knock on the
door of heaven so that it will be opened unto us.
Bible
teacher John Gill wrote,
"When
God intends and is about to bestow a mercy, He gives His
people a spirit of prayer to ask for it; and even the
promise of it is a considerable argument to encourage
and engage more to pray for it. God is a God hearing
prayer; He listens to the requests of His people, and
answers them in His own time and way; which is no small
encouragement to pray unto Him."
Our God
is faithful to listen to the cries of His people and
meet every need we present to Him.
Be
encouraged today, (Hebrews 3:13)

Daily
prayer: Father, it is no
small thing that we trust You for all that
concerns us and it is no small thing that
You choose to listen to us. This
is the confidence which we have before
You, that, if we ask anything according
to Your will, You hear us. For
your eyes, O Lord, are over the
righteous, and Your ears are open to our
prayers. Your arm is not too weak to
save us, nor is Your ear too deaf to
hear us when we call on You. Father,
all things are possible to those who
believe, and we do believe and trust in
You. Amen.

* Our new computer is not working with my Blue Snowball microphone I have used for many years and I need to determine if it's a Windows problem or if I need a new microphone. I hate to buy a new microphone only to still have the problem. My situation is I was trained for ministry, not computer troubleshooting!
