Food for Thought: At some point, it has to go from being highlighted in your Bible to being lived in your everyday life. The real growth isn’t in what you underline, it’s in what you apply.
A World of Wonders by Doug Batchelor. “The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” Job 33:4 “In Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa lives a curious little spider that has its home under the water. The female water spider (also known as the diving bell spider) spins a tiny web in the shahpe of a bell, attaching it to stems of water weeds and plants just below the surface of a freshwater pond. All spiders need to breathe air, so the water spider takes its air along like a skin diver. On the surface she traps tiny bubbles in the hairs of her body, then hurries home and brushes them off, releasing them under her web. The spider makes many trips to bring back air bubbles for her underwater bubble nest. The waterproof web becomes inflated with trapped air and makes a perfect diving bell where she lives, eats, and lays her eggs. If the fresh air is used up, the water spider returns to the surface to breathe and collect more fresh air bubbles for her home. Living below, and yet breathing the air from above, this little spider is constantly surrounded by water yet remains perfectly dry!
The water spider illustrates how Christians may be in the world but not of the world. No matter how much water surrounds the water spider, it still is able to breathe air because it takes a bubble of air with it wherever it goes. How can the Christian live with a constant connection to heaven whhile living in this sinful world? Through prayer. Like the breath of the soul, we can pray to Jesus no matter what our surroundings. Prayer is just as necessary to our spiritual life as oxygen is to our physical life. I long for the day when we will be in heaven, but even now we may breathe the air of heaven through prayer.
Jesus knows we are in the world, but we do not need to be “of” this world. “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” (John 17:15-16) We can continue to “breathe” in the world as long as we keep our connection with God.

SCHOOL UPDATE
Prayer can move mountains! There will be a school board meeting on Jan. 26th at 6 pm to discuss the future of our school. We ask for your prayers for wisdom as we seek God’s will for our school. “Pray that the Lord your God will tell us where we should go and what we should do.” Jeremiah 42:3
**********************************************
Purpose for Life – Purpose of Prayer: If we don’t have a purpose in our religious life, we are wasting our life. The Holy Spirit is in the business of Doing the Impossible What would our ministry look like if we were all prayer warriors? “Ministry begins on our knees before it begins on our feet.” The Privilege of Prayer Through nature and revelation, through His providence, and by the influence of His Spirit, God speaks to us. But these are not enough; we need also to pour out our hearts to Him. In order to have spiritual life and energy we must have actual intercourse with our heavenly Father. Our minds may be drawn out toward Him; we may meditate upon His works, His mercies, His blessings; but this is not in the fullest sense, communing with Him. In order to commune with God, we must have something to say to Him concerning our actual life. Steps to Christ pg. 93
Sabbath rest is complete today at 5:04 pm
