The Miracle Goes On
Read: 2 Chronicles 30:21-27
Their voice was heard; and their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place, to heaven. —2 Chronicles 30:27
Bible In One Year: 1 Kings 19-20; Luke 23:1-25
Did you ever think of a prayer meeting as a miracle? That thought came to my mind one evening at church after we divided into small prayer groups. As someone in each group prayed, I heard several people talking to God at the same time. It sounded like a jumble of words. But that's the miracle. God was hearing each prayer—along with millions of others being lifted to Him around the world in many different languages.
For those of us who reach frustration levels when two children are talking to us at the same time, it is indeed a miracle that God can hear so many of His children simultaneously.
Consider the story of Hezekiah's Passover celebration. He called for the Israelites to join him in Jerusalem for praise and prayer (2 Chronicles 30:1). Multitudes came for what turned into a 2-week-long worship service. Huge numbers of people rejoiced and praised God at the same time (v.25). As the religious leaders prayed, "their voice was heard; and their prayer came up . . . to heaven" (v.27).
The miracle goes on. Today, throughout the world, millions of people are praying to God. Let's rejoice in knowing that He hears each prayer. —Dave Branon
God hears us when we call to Him,
He does not miss one voice;
The knowledge that He always hears
Should cause us to rejoice. —Sper
You'll never get a busy signal on the prayer line to heaven.

Good morning dutchess! Good morning to ALL the Finest--hugs all around to each of you!
I'm late 'cause I slept in today. Don't normally do that!
dutchess, you did it again--what a marvelous thread on happy living. It's wonderful to be reminded of the nice little things that make life a joy to yourself and to others.
P.S. I DO believe in love at first sight. I've been married to him for 28 years!
Now, back to coffee...thanks Mayor for the cup! Now where is Gail? :-)

Don’t waste time responding to your critics.
After reading that one, I guess there's no point in mentioning what I thought of the ending. :-)
