Being Above Average – Have you figured it out?

If you read the last post you will be up to speed on what we did the first weeks of the study on being above average. On our last week we learned about praying above average. Now, generally, one would think that praying is praying is praying, right? Not so. Pastor Bob shared with us the insight that like cell phone conversation, prayer is a two way conversation with texting being God’s choice of communication – just like most of you! His text is the Bible and He speaks to us clearly and often – if we bother to read His texts. If you have a friend and you keep talking to them but don’t bother to read their answers back to you will the conversation last very long? Don’t think so. In texting conversations and facebook comments information and communication bounces all over the place. You may think that reading God’s texts don’t have anything to do with today’s problem or whatever but keep reading and you’ll find a thought, an answer a new perspective that hadn’t occured to you before. Suddenly it all makes sense! The point is, though, that you need to read it if you expect to get to know the writer any better! So get into His texts and see what He thinks about all kinds of things – most of all how much He loves you.
