Welcome

Following the example of our friend and brother in Christ, Bob Hommel, a couple of us thought that it would be good to create this blog, where we could share inspirational thoughts and be edified and strengthened in our Lord Jesus Christ

The Bible says, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sins that easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith” Hebrews 12:1-2

We pray that this blog will bless you as a place where we fellowship together and are encouraged in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

"Linger"

Scripture:
"And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you, though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved." (2 Corinthians 12:15)

Last year a missionary friend of mine in Spain told us to pray for him while he was away on a camping trip. He told us that all he had was him was a sleeping bag, his Bible and some water and that he was going to stay in the woods for 10 day or until he had an encounter with God, whichever came first. I prayed for him, as did others who are his prayer partners, and when he came back he emailed us a report of the great things God spoke to him. One of those things was a single word, "linger". What God told him was to "linger" in His presence and not even read the Bible or pray, just "linger".

God since lead my friend to begin a few devotional moments which he has now put on YouTube and yesterday I listened to a couple of them and one of them spoke to my heart about "lingering".

Request:
That God will bring us who are God's anointed here at Avery to linger more with our Savior.

Prayer:
Oh my Lord, you know how easy it is for us to be swept away by the things in our lives. Forgive us for letting these things get in way of time you and I spend together. And Holy Spirit of God please remind me when this happens. I love my Lord and I know he loves me.
