Morning Prayer
A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
Inspiration
It's exciting to start a new career, and we often daydream about our future milestones and monetary success. We enjoy making plans and look forward to financial peace as we humbly bow our heads to thank God for His blessing. We are faithful as we live our lives according to His plan, and we trust His timing. We are in no rush for the next big raise, and there is no sense of urgency because we are satisfied with the peace of mind God has bestowed upon us at this moment.
Prayer
Dear God, We come to You with humbled hearts, thanking You for Your blessings. We are grateful for Your attention to the provisions we are capable of receiving at this time. 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.
