News flash: JUBA AS NEXT CAPITAL: SOUTHERN SUDAN PREPARES FOR INDEPENDENCE.
A new country is born. Wow. Wasn't it just a few weeks ago, I was struggling with prayer, wondering what the point is in praying for a country I have never been in, know no one from, and have the sketchiest picture of. And now... a new country is being born. That is not to say that MY prayers twisted God's arm to move and Viola! Southern Sudan is independent. God forbid I should have such thoughts.
God is unfoldng his great big plan before our very eyes -- before MY very eyes, and I am there. I am there, as only prayer can allow me to be. I am there, cheering Him, awe-struck by His game plan and flawless execution. Again, not that He needed my cheers, but that I NEEDED to be there... to personally feel the excitement in the air... to be gripped by the suspense like a fan with a court-side seat (or even just the cheapest seat up the bleachers)... and watch my Hero make the goal. I know He will win the game... it has been appointed. But to be there, through prayer is really something.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 ...pray continually...
