When we ask God for help, we must be willing to do whatever we can, using whatever means He gives. When Hezekiah heard that he was going to die, he prayed for a miracle, and God promised to extend his life 15 years. Then Isaiah gave instructions to place a lump of figs on the troublesome boil (2 Kings 20:5-7). God did the healing, but He used human effort and natural means. A couple of children were walking to school one morning when it suddenly dawned on them that unless they really hurried they were going to be late. One of them suggested that they stop and pray that they wouldn't be tardy. "No," the other replied, "let's pray while we run as fast as we can." When we ask the Lord to do something, we must also be ready to do our part. —Richard De Haan
How does the truth of today's article apply to illness? To receiving a job promotion? To social evils? To final exams? To increasing faith? Pray as if everything depends on God; work as if everything depends on you.

Morning all.
Snippy just got her official, government approved, State of Oregon, Motor vehicle Operators license. :-)
Sounds to me as if Ward Churchill ought to change his story and say he's from King William's band of Indians. No one left alive to dispute the tale.
Very informative read of our earliest settlers and the travails with the "Native Americans". It's almost as though we're reading about the British rather than Americans.
Meanwhile, the frontier exploded from Connecticut to Maine with one Indian attack after another.
This really puts in perspective how early this war was. As adept as King Philip was in his battles with the early settlers, it's strange that at the height of his career he would not think to post any sentries around his camp. Death wish?
A runner at a school track meet crossed the finish line just ahead of his nearest rival. A bystander, noticing that the winner's lips were moving during the last couple of laps, wondered what he was saying. So he asked him about it. "I was praying," the runner answered. Pointing to his feet, he said, "I was saying, 'You pick 'em up, Lord, and I'll put 'em down.'" That athlete prayed for God's help, but he also did what he could to answer his own prayer.
