LEAVE IT THERE.

LEAVE IT THERE. ---Psalms 27:4 "One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple".




In one town in Ghana there is a beautiful little chapel, and a very touching story is told in connection with it. It was built by an unbeliever who had a praying wife, but he would not listen to her.







He would not allow her Pastor even to take dinner with them; would not look at the Bible; would not allow religion even to be talked of. The wife made up her mind, seeing she could not influence him by her voice that every day she would pray to God at twelve noon for his salvation.







She said nothing to him, but every day at that hour she told the Lord about her husband. At the end of twelve months there was no change in him.







But she did not give up. Six months more went past. Her faith began to waver, and she said, “Will I have to give him up? No. Perhaps when I am dead God will answer my prayer.” When she had got to that point, it seemed just as if God had got her where He wanted her.



The man came home for lunch one day. His wife was in the dining room waiting for him, but he didn’t come in. She waited for him some time, and finally looked for him all through the little room where she had prayed so often. There her husband was, praying at the same bed with agony, where she had prayed for many months, asking forgiveness for his sins. This is what God can do in any situation or circumstances of our lives if we leave it there.



If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain, and your soul is almost sinking in despair, leave it there for God.
