Meditation
For the Week
And he told them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. Luke 18:1
An officer once complained to Stonewall Jackson that some soldiers were making a noise in their tent.
“What are they doing?” asked the General.
“They are praying now, but they have been singing,” was the reply.
“And is that a crime?” the General demanded.
“The articles of war order punishment for any unusual noise,” was the reply.
“God forbid that praying should be an unusual noise in this camp,” replied General Jackson.
Prayer: Hear us as we pray, 0 Lord and grant us with Thy peace. Amen
Rev. Jerry O. Campbell
