Yes, I am writing another blog this week😊! I am so blessed by the responses to my blog, that I want to write to you again. I will share with you a story from the Bible.
"Jesus and the Samaritan woman." This story is found in the gospel of John, chapter 4, verses 4-42. Basically, Jesus and his disciples were heading towards Galilee. They had to go through Samaria. Jesus stopped to rest in the town of Sychar. Around noon, a Samaritan woman came to draw water from the well. Jesus asked her to give him a drink of water. The woman replied, "You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink? As Jesus and the Samaritan woman talked, he asked her to go and get her husband. She said that she does not have a husband. Jesus told her that she has had five husbands and the man she is with now is not her husband. She was amazed that Jesus knew all about her!
In my last blog, I felt led to tell you that if you live in a country where reading a bible is dangerous, then no one can stop you from praying! Jesus said to the Samaritan woman, "Woman, believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth."
I want to encourage you to read your bible everyday! If you are unable to do this, then pray to your Father in heaven. The Father created you to have a personal relationship with you. You can talk with Him as if he is sitting in the chair across from you. Tell him all your dreams and all your concerns. Tell him all the people you care for or who need healing. The Father wants to hear from you everyday. Imagine not talking to your husband or wife or best friend for a week! Well, that is how your Heavenly Father feels when you do not talk/pray to him!
I am His, David Walter Wiseman
