1 Thessalonians 5: 17. PRAY WITHOUT CEASING!
Hn,hn,hn! This God of Ours is really something else yes. Well just now, minutes to 4 ( is 4 a.m. on the dot now) I’d just finished listening to some of my music and was quite happy with it, so I decided to go and sit out on my porch with some cake and ice cream, (the cashew kind children, so yuh know what that means) and commune peacefully with my Maker for a short spell. While waiting for the ice cream to melt a little, I got to thinking about all the natural disasters that were currently befalling our beautiful world and to wondering why. Suddenly this thought flitted though my mind: perhaps that’s the Lord’s way of getting us to pray more often, because yuh know how mankind stay, even the ones and them who don’t believe in Him, when the mark buss on them, the first thing they cry out though is "Oh God!" and hold deh head and bawl. And yuh know that when times fine, half of us forget all about God, just park Him in a corner until the next setta trouble comes and we we looking for some mercy. But it doesn’t work so yuh know. Although He’s sweet and generous and forgiving, if you insist on doing your own thing, He’s surely going to make you pay the price. And, as if to show me He meant business, how yuh think He ended the session? Although it was a slightly muggy morning, there were no signs of rain, but then, all of a sudden, from down in the west, this bright spurt of lightning just flashed out on me from behind the trees and houses. Well yuh know what happen after that? I man simply said, Yes Lord, ah heard yuh, and I quietly picked up my untouched cake and ice cream, my half glass of coke, quietly come inside mih yard and gently close mih door yes. Then I came down here to my study and wrote this because I figured He was giving me the next Scrip-Bit; which is that we must always pray, I repeat, His followers must always pray; must pray consistently. And is not only when we tail in a vice that we must run to Him begging and pleading. Anyway, I’ve done what He said, now later on, I’ve got to look for a Scripture that fits this. Got to finish mih cake and ice cream first though. Oh! I found the Scripture just as I finished, or rather, it found me. Like He couldn’t wait for me to go and look for it later. It’s at the top in big, bold letters… And all yuh trying to tell me that he ent something else. Chuh! That ent true nuh! Hope everybody understand the patois (broken English) but that’s just how the story happened to come out. Much Peace and Plenty, Plenty LOVE!
