Subject: Lord Prop us UP
LORD PROP US UP...
Every time I am asked to pray, I think of the old
deacon who always prayed, 'Lord, prop us up on our leanin' side.' After hearing
him pray that prayer many times, someone asked him why he prayed that prayer so
fervently.
He answered, 'Well sir, you see, it's like this... I
got an old barn out back. It's been there a long time; it's withstood a lot of
weather; it's gone through a lot of storms, and it's stood for many years.
It's still standing. But one day I noticed it was
leaning to one side a bit.
So I went and got some pine poles and propped it up
on its leaning side so it wouldn't fall.
Then I got to thinking about that and how much I was
like that old barn. I've been around a long time. I've withstood a lot of
life's storms. I've withstood a lot of bad weather in life, I've withstood a
lot of hard times, and I'm still standing too. But I find myself leaning to one
side from time to time, so I like to ask the Lord to prop us up on our leaning
side, 'cause I figure a lot of us get to leaning at times.
Sometimes we get to leaning toward anger, leaning
toward bitterness, leaning toward hatred, leaning toward cussing, leaning
toward a lot of things that we shouldn't. So we need to pray, 'Lord, prop us up
on our leaning side, so we will stand straight and tall again, to glorify the
Lord.''
