Night Prayer
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Inspiration
We are accustomed to describing God with words like ‘good,’ ‘just,’ and, ‘faithful,’ but how much do we meditate on what that really means? It means that we can completely trust and depend on God. His will and His desires are always good because He loves us. His path always leads to justice, because it is what His goodness requires. And He never falters because He is faithful not only to us but to His own character.
Prayer
God, thank You for being my Rock. I thank You for showing Your perfect faithfulness over and over again. Please guide me in Your wisdom so that I may live in Your goodness, justice, and truth. For Your ways are perfect and unfailing. 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.
