In my quiet time this morning following a reading of scripture, I turned to read out of R. A. Torrey’s little book, Your Life in God. One of the chapters spoke of prayer and three things everyone who desires to succeed in the Christian life must especially pray. I list them here for you.

1. WISDOM - “If any of you lack wisdom (and we all do) let him ask of God.” James 1:8
2. STRENGTH - “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.” Isaiah 40:31
3. HOLY SPIRIT - “Your heavenly Father shall give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him.” Luke 11:13

As you seek the Lord I want to give you an item to place before the Father. Many people want to be involved in the work of God throughout the world. Some are hungry and eager to know what God wants them to do. Here is an opportunity for you to learn about God’s work in the world and how you can be involved in it. Beginning January 10, 2007, Olive is hosting “Perspectives, A Journey with God.” This course will be taught on Wednesday evenings from 6:00–8:45 p.m. There is a cost of $175 and a 15-week commitment. Some of the leading instructors from across the nation will be here to teach each evening. To learn more be sure and pick up a brochure at the church (http://www.gulfcoastperspectives.org/). Ask the Lord if this is for you.

As we go outside the walls of the church with ministry, we are going to need an army of trained workers prepared to do the work. Here is a marvelous opportunity to sharpen your skills.
