Night Prayer
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
Inspiration
During Bible Study, we often come across a question asking how we would explain salvation to a non-believer. When we come into contact with those who are thirsty for information, will we be ready to provide it? Continuing our studies will keep us well versed in Scripture. Our faith in the Holy Spirit will guide us to people and provide words when we become uncertain. Like, Philip, we will always be alert and prepared to share the Good News any time, anywhere.
Prayer
Dear God, we are eager to share Your Word with the world. We turn to Your Spirit for encouragement and guidance for words and opportunities to speak. 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.
