MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON But when it pleased God . . . (Galatians 1:15) It takes God time to answer prayer. We often fail to give God a chance in that respect. It takes time for God to paint a rose. It takes time for God to grow an oak. It takes time for God to make bread from wheat fields. He takes the earth. He pulverizes. He softens. He enriches. He wets with showers and dews. He warms with life. He gives the blade, the stock, the amber grain, and then at last the bread for the hungry. All this takes time. Therefore, we sow, and till, and wait, and trust, until all God's purpose has been wrought out. We give God a chance in this matter of time. We need to learn this same lesson in our prayer life. It takes God time to answer prayer. (J.H.M.) PRAY ABOUT IT: It's our nature to want things to happen quickly. With God, a day is as a thousand years. He takes His time in creating oaks, and in answering the acorns of prayers that we pray. Don't rush God. Today, by faith, tell God that you will lay down your timetable in favor of His. Then wait expectantly, as long as it takes. The prayer that begins with trustfulness and passes on to waiting will always end in thankfulness, triumph, and praise. (Alexander MacLaren) | |||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done; And Your thoughts toward us cannot be recounted to You in order; If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. PSALM 40:5 Get on two or three good promises. Press down hard on them. Anchor to them. Things will break up. Things will break loose. Things will break over. God hears you, and His thoughts toward you are good. He will answer. Dare to trust Him anywhere. God always hears and answers prayer. (W.J. Harney) PRAY ABOUT IT: Have you remembered to anchor your prayers to the promises of God? Today, take time to find a promise on which to anchor your requests. Get a word from the Lord for your situation and stay on it. Make sure it's God's word for your situation though, and not an attempt on your part to maneuver God. The Word of God is the fulcrum upon which the lever of prayer is placed and by which things are mightily moved. (E.M. Bounds) | |||

31 DAYS OF PRAISE ENJOYING GOD ANEW RUTH MYERS WITH WARREN MYERS I magnify You, my God, for Your absolute purity, holiness, and justice, as the Judge to whom all people must give account. I praise You that your fairness is intertwined with everything You do...that when the time is ripe You will end all sin and injustice, all corruption, all immorality...that You will right all wrongs and reward all loving service and suffering for Your sake. (Psalm 99:3,9; Daniel 4:37; Romans 14:12; Deut. 32:4; Isaiah 2:10-12; Romans 12:19; Hebrews 6:10) Thank You that Your Son will return from heaven with a shout of triumph, that the dead in Christ will be raised imperishable...and in a flash, in a twinkling of an eye, we shall be utterly changed. We shall see the radiance of His face and the glorious majesty of His power. It will be a breathtaking wonder and splendor unimaginable to all who believe!! Thank You that "whatever we may have to go through now is less than nothing compared with the magnificent future" You have planned for us. (1 Thess. 4:16; 1 Cor. 15:51-52; 2 Thess.1:6-10; Romans 8:18) What a joy it is to know that the government will be on Christ's shoulders, and that there will be no end to the increase of His government and peace...that His kingdom will be established with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom...a kingdom that cannot be shaken. You will never be voted out, no coup will ever dethrone You. For all eternity You are the King of kings and Lord of lords. TO YOU BE THE GLORY AND THE DOMINION FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN!! (Isaiah 9:6-7; Daniel 4:34; Hebrews 12:28; 1Timothy 6:15; Revelation 19:6; 1:6) Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed....1 Corinthians 15:51 | |||
