Morning Prayer
He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
Inspiration
Our Creator designed a beautiful world. He formed the mountains with His hands while breathing life into every creature. His creation is perfect, and we are amazed by His attention to detail. The smallest creatures have specific purposes, and He provides for them accordingly. We see His work in action and understand that He also tends to each detail of our lives. He provides for us physically and spiritually; we are thankful for His devotion.
Prayer
Dear God, You take care of every detail. We are thankful for Your attention to all of our needs. 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.
