From The Pastor’s Heart… March 17, 2013

1 Chronicles 17:16
appy are those who hunger and thirst after true righteousness – they will be filled! Are you hungry for God? Do you thirst for His living water? Do you want His Holy Spirit to fill you?
Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said, “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my family, that you have brought me thus far?”
If you are, I have good news for you from the Book of Isaiah, chapter 55, verses 1-3: “Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to Me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to Me; listen, that you may live.”
Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.
Jeremiah 2:13 (NIV) says, "My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken Me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.”

o you want to find lasting contentment, lasting satisfaction? God created us in such a fashion that we will only find it when we seek Him with all our hearts. We do this through prayer and praise! Let’s join God in what He is doing in our midst! I promise, you will not be disappointed! I love you all, Pastor Mike Visit us on the web @ www.gofriendship.com

od so wants His children to realize their spiritual need of Him – our need for only what He can satisfy. Seeking the world’s counterfeits only leads to disillusionment, disappointment and despair. Only Jesus can satisfy our souls!

The condition of the church may be very accurately gauged by its prayer meetings. So is the prayer meeting a graceometer, and from it we may judge of the amount of divine working among a people. If God be near a church, it must pray. And if He be not there, one of the first tokens of His absence will be slothfulness in prayer. Charles Spurgeon

Though their stories and methods vary, our missionaries are doing whatever it takes to share the gospel with North American. Whether it is starting a new Friendship Church church, meeting the needs of the homeless, or leading Back Yard Bible clubs, missionaries depend on the faithful prayers and generosity of Southern Baptists. Please pray for our missionaries and give generously to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering®.
