A heifer just calved. A nice little bull with lots of vigor was soon up and looking for a handle. Well, as is so often the case, the heifer wouldn't stand still. She just kept circling around and around. The little booger couldn't get to the business end to save his soul. This went on for 20 minutes, but finally persistence paid off, and the calf got his breakfast. The Lord tells us to be persistent in our praying. I do not think for a minute, that God just finally gets tired of us asking for something and just gives it to us to shut us up. Rather I think that he wants to teach us persistence, and increase our gratitude when the praying is finally rewarded. I can look around the sanctuary of our little country church and see many people that were on the prayer list a few yeas ago, and on there for a few years too. Do not tire in praying for the lost in your community, persistence pays, ya know. Ask that little white bull calf in the corral! Have your self a good Sunday mornin', and God bless.
