Wednesday

“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” (James 5:16b)

Prayer for See You at the Pole at schools around the world this morning.  Thank God for students proud enough to stand and be counted as Christians.

Remember, FBC, Kentwood WILL have prayer meeting tonight despite the crusade going on in Amite.  You can make your choice.

Jadon’s Story: Vigabatrin Update

Posted: 26 Sep 2011 05:51 PM PDT

I have been an vigabatrin for 3 days now. My seizures are better. They are not nearly as intense as they have been. I’m also not having as many. I’m having about 80 a day instead of 150. Though we are seeing improvement, we have a long way to go. I need you to pray that these seizures will continue to decrease. We also need this medicine to continue to work. I’ve had success at first several times but the seizures have found a way around it. So please pray that the seizures stay down and continue to get better and GO AWAY forever.. Thanks for your support and prayers.
Remember the many who are hospitalized or who have been hospitalized lately.
Do What is Right Anyway

People are often unreasonable,
Illogical, and self-centered;
Love them anyway.

If you are kind,
People may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
You will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
People may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building,
Someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
They may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
People will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
And it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
It is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.

–Kent Keith

There is a tendency for us to live our lives with an eye on “the other
guy.” We’ll do what’s right to him as long as he does what’s right to us.
But Jesus does not allow us to live our lives as a reaction to others. We
must determine to do what is right regardless.

“Peter, seeing [John], said to Jesus, ‘But Lord, what about this man?’
Jesus said to him, ‘If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to
you? You follow Me.'” (John 21:21-22)

If others around you are making it difficult to do what is right, don’t
allow yourself to be distracted. Do what is right anyway.

Have a great day!
