11.21.10

Ezekiel 42-43:27
James 5:1-20

517 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. 18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

John - Elijah was like us but when he prayed it would not rain... for 3 ½ years it did not rain. That is an example of the power of prayer, the power we have when we pray and believe!

Psalm 119:1-16

11910 With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

John - By hiding Gods word in our hearts it anchors us to the truth and helps us NOT WANDER from His commandments!

Proverbs 28:6-7

28 7 Whoever keeps the law is a discerning son, But a companion of gluttons shames his father.

John - We can bring shame to our father if we spend time with people who do not have restraint! (gluttons - to be worthless, be vile, be insignificant, squander)
