ACTIONS BRING ANSWERS TO LIGHT

 

Hebrews 10:36

 

"For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised." ESV 

 

If we cannot see the Lord answering our prayers, it is often times because we are sitting passively by, like a spectator, waiting for Him to move on our behalf. The Word tells to be active when we pray: listen, walk, pray, be mindful, be ready, put on, throw aside, rejoice, forgive, and endure. There are many more things we are instructed to do as we wait on Him. If we are doing these things, we will see and know He is answering our prayers.

 

Lord, so many times we overlook what You are doing in answer to our prayers. We sit back and expect You to respond to our needs while we neglect to do those things You have told us to do. Forgive us, Lord, for our neglect and help us to be actively working out our own salvation. In Your name we pray, Amen.

TRUSTING THE SHEPHERD

 

Psalm 23:1

 

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." ESV 

 

When we were little children, we had total confidence in our parents to take of our every need. We could be free to explore and play, learning about the world around us. Why is it so difficult to trust the Lord to take care of everything in our lives now? We say we trust Him, but we still worry and fret over things. If we will take even a moment to think about the marvelous reality that the Lord is our Shepherd, we will come to know there is nothing we will lack in living this life here on earth.

 

Lord, how awesome You are to give Yourself to us as our Shepherd. You love and care for us more than a mother does for her child. Help us to get this amazing truth into our hearts and minds. We know we will have all we need. In Your name we pray,

Amen.

ROYAL PASS

 

Hebrews 4:16

 

"Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we might receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." ESV

 

 

Jesus Christ was God who became a human, lived among us, and faced the same trials and temptations we face. Unlike us, He lived His life here without sinning. He knew why He came. Because He resisted the human nature, we can come right to the throne of the Father with confidence, not fear. We can receive mercy and grace whenever we ask for it.

 

Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Son, who knows what it's like to live in this world and did it without sin. We are in awe of the grace and mercy You pour out so that we can come directly to Your throne. Help us to always remember it is because of what Jesus Christ did for us that allows us to come. In His name we pray, Amen.
