Starting memory work in Philippians & I can’t think of a more fitting prayer for Christ’s church right now than Paul’s:
“And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment so that you may approve the things that are superior & may be
“And I pray this: that your love will keep on growing in knowledge and every kind of discernment so that you may approve the things that are superior & may be
pure and blameless in the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.” One of the things I love about praying the prayers that are in Scripture is that they were breathed by God himself. So often we don’t
know exactly how to pray in a given situation then we come upon an inspired intercession like this one & it encompasses so much of what we desire for our loved ones, for the church, our neighbors & ourselves. I believe in the power of Scripture. I believe in the power of prayer.
And I believe that nothing’s more potent than putting those two things together. Do not let go of the spiritual disciplines. Nothing replaces them. I cannot plead with you strongly enough to resist going to social media in the morning before you have gone to prayer and Scripture.
Ours is an era of rampant deception, seduction, disinformation. Pray or fall prey to it. Study or stoop to it. Let the 1st words you hear each day be God’s & the 1st words He hears from you be prayer. If it’s too late for Satan to claim a soul, he’ll settle for clouding the mind.
