Night Prayer
For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
Inspiration
We must make Bible Study a priority in order to remain well versed in the Word. The devil is always on the prowl and places false prophets in our paths to throw us off course. They tell us sinful lifestyles aren’t really all that bad and they twist Scripture to fit their own agenda. Some despise Christianity and seek ways to tear it apart. Bible Study strengthens our knowledge and wisdom, exposing these imposters.
Prayer
Dear Lord, help us study daily to gain wisdom needed to expose imposters who seek to destroy Your Word. 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.
