Night Prayer
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Inspiration
There is nothing we treasure more than the gift of salvation. God gave His only Son so that we may ask for redemption, be cleansed from our sin, and inherit eternal life. There is no gold or silver that compares with the beauty of our treasure in the love of God. Our hearts belong to Him and we praise His name for the gift of eternal life.
Prayer
Dear Lord, please forgive our sins. You are the only treasure worth living for and we rejoice knowing we will be reunited with You one sweet day. 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.
