Brian's stress level was at unsurpassed levels. His wife Maggie was in labor and Brian was sure it was time to head to the hospital. Breathing heavily, Brian grabbed the phone and called the doctor. "MY WIFE, SHE'S READY, SHOULD WE COME?" The doctor tried to relax the poor fellow, "just try to relax, now tell me how much time elapses between the contractions?" "MAGGIE!" Brian screamed on the top of his lungs, "HOW MUCH TIME IN BETWEEN THE CONTRACTIONS? TEN MINUTES? OK, TEN MINUTES IN BETWEEN!" "And is this her first child?" Questioned the doctor. "NO, THIS IS HER HUSBAND!"
I think that sometimes we just need to step back and assess the situation. So often people make bad decisions over and over. Then all at once they blame God for where they are in life. The good news is that no matter where you are, it's not too late to start making good decisions. You might start by attending a good Bible believing church. Attending church probably won't change your life, but studying God's word with fellow believers and applying it to your life will. A church family is quite an advantage when we face the storms of life. As we enter a new year, I'd like to invite you to come join with us at First Baptist Church of Portageville as we seek to learn from His word and glorify God with our lives. Romans 10:13 says; "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." What a way to start a new year!
