Jan.13.03: lftd - "Much Christ, Much Prayer" -- Psalm 32:8 (NIVUS) "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." --------------------- All practical power over sin ... depends on maintaining closet communion. Those who abide in the secret place of God show themselves mighty to conquer evil, and strong to work and to war for God. They are seers who read His secrets; they know His will; they are the meek who He guide in judgment and teaches His way. They are His prophets who speak for Him to others, and even forecast things to come. They watch the signs of the times and discern His tokens and read His signals. -- A.T.Pierson --------- This definition of a pray-er finds many of us falling short. We posses little power because we pray so little. The power we posses as Christians will be in proportion to our communion with God. Weak Christians are often weak because they don't spend time with the source of strength. Today, cast all your weakness on Him. Claim His strength as your own. He who lives in you can face anything on today's agenda. Watch, and He will guide you with His eye. -- N.H. ----- No Christ, no prayer. Little Christ, little prayer. Much Christ, much prayer. -- Ruth Paxson ---------- -- Jeremiah 29:11-13 (NIVUS) "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, " plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
