Thought for the week: Make Time to Pray
We have just concluded in our I Want More training sessions some great teachings about prayer and the value and necessity of prayer in the life of every believer. Psalm 37:4 (NIV) says, “take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” In this psalm, many prayers are answered, yet the word prayer is never mentioned. You are told to “commit,” to “wait,” to “delight in” the Lord, and then He will give you “the desires of your heart.” But the word pray is nowhere to be found.
How many things do you actually “delight in” – not just enjoy, but delight in? Probably not many, and how many other things must you avoid delighting in if you are truly to delight in the Lord? The psalmist here indicates that the process of shedding other things to delight in the Lord is truly found through the application and process of prayer.
Prayer is devotion to Jesus that strengthens your reborn spirit. Prayer is the expression of desire for God to work His Will in your life. Prayer moves us to love what our Father loves and to delight in what He delights in. Prayer users us into God’s presence and His Will. Try it and see.
This Sunday’s Scripture
Topic: Choose Ye This Day Whom You Will Serve
Joshua 24: 14-15 (NIV)
14 “Now fear the Lord and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord.
15 But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
