Night Prayer
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him
Inspiration
Salvation can begin anywhere! Philip was traveling to Gaza to continue the work of the Lord; when the Holy Spirit stopped him and directed him to speak with the eunuch. After ministering to him, the eunuch accepted Christ, and Philip baptized him on the side of the road. Do we make ourselves available to witness as we travel to our destination? God calls us to always look for opportunities to share the Word. We must always be available for those who do not know the Lord.
Prayer
Dear God, we trust Your Spirit to guide our footsteps to our final destination. Teach us to remain alert so we may minister to others along the way. 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.
