"Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in
honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in
spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing
steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to
hospitality." Romans 12:10-13 (NKJV)
There are
two school zones in my neighborhood and soon to be a fire station too. When I read Romans 12:10 I thought about
what a special speaker at our church exhorted us to do concerning school
zones. He encouraged us to pray as we go
through them. Look at it as a blessing
of time God has ordained for you to talk to Him! Pray that the influence of Christ would
be evident in the school and the kids who are followers of Christ would have
boldness to share their faith. Whether
we bring our kids to school at Public, Private, Charter… or Homeschool we all
have a wonderful commission or obligation to pray and be effective for the generations
around us!
Turn that
school-zone into a Prayer-zone! YEAH!!!
Great encouragement and what a great idea. So often we can get frustrated at having to SLOW down in school zones. This idea gives us an opportunity to allow those "patience-growing" moments to talk to the Lord and pray for students too ...instead of the alternative which most of us have done plenty a time :) Great blog!
