Is Grass Growing

on Your Path?

Converts in an African village learned the importance of spending time in daily prayer.  Each Christian would find a solitary place in the thicket where he could share his heart in privacy with the Heavenly Father.   As time passed the pathway to their prayer place in the thicket would become worn.  If a Christian neglected his prayer life others would soon notice by the fresh greenery growing on their pathway.  A gentle rebuke and reminder was often used among them by tactfully saying, “Brother, there is grass growing on your path.”

 No doubt one of the most neglected privileges and powers of Christians today is prayer.  When grass has grown over our prayer paths, our lives become paltry and powerless, our families become dysfunctional and divided, our churches become insignificant and impotent, and our nation becomes more profane and perverted.

The Christian’s hope and help lies in appealing to the great sovereign, caring, all-powerful God.  Are you concerned about your prayer life?  Do you make time daily to spend time with God in prayer?  If you have some greenery growing on your prayer path you may want to work your way through one or more of the following courses:  #20500 The Value Of Prayer by Ray Stedman, #21800 The School Of Prayer by Dr. Warren Wiersbe
