Night Prayer
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Inspiration
We make excuses not to study the Bible. Time limitations seem to be the number one reason! The Word is a precious gift from God Himself. Absorbing scripture keeps us alert in the truth so aren’t deceived by false prophets. It provides comfort in times of trouble and guidance when we have big decisions to make. Consistently studying God’s work strengthens our faith and our ongoing relationship with the Creator we love and adore. Love always has time.
Prayer
Dear Lord, please forgive us for making excuses not to study scripture. Help us make studying a priority so we can apply it to our daily life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Night Prayer
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Inspiration
We despise the thought of a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. The outside is easy to clean; it's the caked-up residue on the inside that's so difficult to remove. Jesus compares the scribes and Pharisees with dishes that have been wiped clean on the outside while dirty inside. The Pharisees took exceptional care of their outward appearance and neglected their inward spirits. We are guilty of allowing our hearts to be left filthy as well. We look and act as we should while our souls are full of darkness. We must continue to converse with the Holy Spirit daily and trust His guidance to cleanse our sinful nature.
Prayer
Dear God, Please forgive our sinful nature. We yearn for cleansing from within, so we are genuine witnesses to Your name. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
