BUZZARDS

BUZZARDS

Genesis 15:11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.

Have you ever started to pray, only to have your mind wander to other things-- anything other than what you were praying about? Sure you have! I'm no different than you.

Abraham was faced with a similar situation. The buzzards kept trying to *steal his sacrifice* off his altar. He kept driving them away.

When our thoughts begin to wander while we are trying to pray, we have to *rope 'em in*, as the cowboys say.

Sometimes it seems so futile, for there are so many things that want our attention. But persistence does pay off-- the Lord helps us when we try diligently to ward off the intruding thoughts.

It probably is true that when the * buzzards * are the thickest, it is when the *need * to pray is the greatest.

The Lord may be depending on you to fight off the * buzzards * and pray the matter before you through to victory.

Don't let them devour your sacrifice. The answer will come, if you are persistent.

God Bless!
