Night Prayer
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Inspiration
God’s mighty hand created the dry land upon which we stand. It is the foundation that makes our steps sturdy. Our life journey takes us through various terrains. There are high lands, lowlands and steep mountains that will need to be climbed. With all that walking, it’s inevitable that we stumble from time to time. Therefore, we rely on our friend and Savior, Jesus Christ to help us regain balance and continue our walk along the narrow road we must travel.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we are grateful to have a friend like Jesus, a friend who laid down His life for us and continues to walk beside us on the road of 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.
