Funny Friday: A nap and a snack

“This is your gentle reminder that one time in the Bible Elijah was like, “God, I’m so mad! I want to die!” So God said, “Here’s some food. Why don’t you have a nap?” So Elijah slept, ate, and decided things weren’t so bad. Never underestimate the spiritual power of a nap and a snack.” ~Courtesy of Joy Marie Clarkson, @joynessthebrave

“Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. He went to Beersheba, a town in Judah, and he left his servant there. Then he went on alone into the wilderness, traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died.” Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree. But as he was sleeping, an angel touched him and told him, “Get up and eat!” He looked around and there beside his head was some bread baked on hot stones and a jar of water! So he ate and drank and lay down again. Then the angel of the LORD came again and touched him and said, “Get up and eat some more, or the journey ahead will be too much for you.” So he got up and ate and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights to Mount Sinai, the mountain of God. There he came to a cave, where he spent the night.” 1 Kings 19:3-9 (NLT)

Funny Friday: Rinse Cycle

My sister replied to my earlier post this week about recognizing God’s voice telling me that she had a Funny Friday story that would fit perfectly. She told me that she and my nephew were heading home from Wal-Mart recently when they had this conversation…

One day when it was raining…

My sister to my nephew: “The sky is spitting.”

My nephew: “Why?”

My sister: “I don’t know. Ask God.”

My nephew says a quick prayer asking God.

My sister: “What did God say?”

My nephew: “I’m not sure. I asked God for a sign.”

Then they passed a sign, “Welcome to Coweta.”

My sister: “Is that it?”

My nephew: “No.”

Then they pass a car wash.

My sister: “Is that sign it?”

Then at just that moment the digital sign scrolled and read…

“Rinse cycle.”

“…It will be washed off by the rain…” Ezekiel 13:11 (ISV)

Funny Friday: Praying for the Whole Population

Do you ever mention someone in your prayers, then you feel bad for not mentioning other people, then suddenly you start including the whole population?

“I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people…” 1 Timothy 2:1a (NLT)
