Wow! The power of God sure has been spreading at SMSU latley. In fact, it's going like wildfire! A couple weeks ago, we had an event called 108 Hours of Prayer. Basically, we had the Campus Religious Center open for anyone who wanted to come and pray, 24/7, for five days. Not only that, one person was pray for the campus, ministries, frinds, whatever, EVERY HOUR for those five days! One day at 6:30 AM I was up and feeling kinbd of discouraged, so I got on my clothes and went over to thec CRC. I got to praying with a friend of mine. We prayed through Psalm 34, thanking God for His MAJESTY! At one point, Kevin started praying for EXACTLY what I needed. He didn't realize I was hurting, didn't realize I needed help....that's the POWER OF GOD! The next day iwas my scheduled hour to pray. I came about half an hour early. Once again I found Kevin...in ferverent prayer. He didn't even look up when I came in. One might call that insulting, but I didn't. I thought itwas so cool. When he did come to me, he asked if he could pray for me before he left. Of course I said yes. As he kneeled in front of me, just talking to God, I felt so loved. Tears came to my eyes because once again, he was hitting the very things I needed anbd was feeling.
Have you ever been touched in that way? Somebody didn't know you were hurting, didn't know you were struggling, but seemed to touch your life in just the right way at just he right time? I've got news for you...that wasn't magic, it wasn't coincidence...I don't think there is such thing. What I saw in Kevin those two days was total love...for His Savior. Though he didn't know it, he was being the touch of God for me, right when I needed one. That's the POWER of GOD! Feel it in the small things. God is powerful. Just like Psalm Kevin and I read that night, remember God is MAJESTIC, He can do ALL things-not just some things, but ALL things. We read about His goodness and faithfulness.
Also, I would highly reccomend praying through Psalms. It's an awesome way to enhance your prayer life and get to know God's Word better. It's continued to be a blessing in my life since that night.
