DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 22:1-38; Proverbs 19; James 3 to 4:12
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering… James 1:6
An old missionary in China who had taught his locals to pray and expect an answer was challenged: “Teacher, we are hungry. This is the time to prove what you told us”. The missionary knelt down and prayed. When he arose, he looked on the horizon and saw a storm approaching. A hurricane swept over the mission and rained great supplies of beans from many miles away. —Edith MacLelland
Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath,
The Christian’s native air;
His watchward at the gates of death;
He enters heaven with prayer.
—James Montgomery
