Night Prayer
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Inspiration
The earth was without form; empty, and void when God initiated creation. From nothing, He created something. He breathed to life all the beauty around us. We have a limited understanding of how this happened; we only know God is all-powerful, and with Him, everything is possible. Job had multiple hardships all at one. Although he was overwhelmed, He knew God had the power to provide refuge and strength. We revere the power of God and remain hopeful in His plan for our lives.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we respect Your power and remain hopeful in Your plans for our life. Thank you for lifting our spirits when we face multiple hardships at once. 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.
