Night Prayer
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
Inspiration
Job falls to the ground and worships God during a stormy season of life. His surrender is a witness to all of us. It is crucial to praise God during our struggles because we begin to see miracles and blessings. There are too many occurrences to count and we remain blind to the numerous wonders of God when we remain focused on our problem and not our Creator. We will continue to offer praise and worship through good times and bad.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we will never cease in worship. We praise Your name for the mercy You bestow upon us and we are grateful for Your infinite blessings. 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.
