Florida Homes

When my parents were thinking of buying a home in Florida they were told not to buy a home built flat to the ground. This was to avoid cock roaches and flooding. So they paid more money and got a home built off the ground with open space under it.

It costs more to build a home on a rock or raised surface than flat to the ground. Even Jesus knew this and he was no home builder. Well, he is God. More work costs more but it gives benefits, less bugs and less flooding.

Prayer is the same way. It takes more effort, costs more of our time and energy to develop a relationship with God. Work less, get less. So is your prayer life kind of buggy today? Mine is, so I am off to silence and stillness.
