Hi Tracy, I really enjoyed the devotional that you read on today's Prayer Call. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all. If you are feeling up to it, I was wondering if you would post it on this thread. It was so insightful and I'd like to reread it. But I also think that the people that weren't able to participate on the call would also like to hear it and that they would benefit from its teaching as well. Thank you and God Bless, Anna | |||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 I have learned to see a need of everything God gives me, and want nothing that He denies me. Whether it be taken from or not given me, sooner or later God quiets me in Himself without it. I cast all my concerns on the Lord, and live securely on the care and wisdom of my heavenly Father. (Joseph Eliot) PRAY ABOUT IT: The things God has given you were given because He saw your need of them. In His role as Father, He then provided them --- missing nothing. The things you have been denied you never really needed. They are not for you. Lot's wife looked back longingly at something she couldn't have, and it meant her destruction. Those who were willing to leave Sodom behind and look ahead to God's provision, selected for them, were saved. Look ahead. Forget the things you don't have. you don't need them at all. You had better be a poor person and a rich Christian, than a rich person and a poor Christian. You had better do anything and bear anything and be anything than a dwarf in grace.

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON If anyone come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. Mark 8:34 It is helpful to start each new day with a question like the following clearly before you: "Have I surrendered this new day to God, and will I seek and obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit throughout its hours?" Wait until, with the full consent of your will, you can say, "I have; I will." (Eric Liddell) PRAY ABOUT IT: The value of early morning prayers is that it offers the opportunity to surrender the hours ahead to God and then live confidently in the Holy Spirit throughout the day. As you pray today, seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and obey His lead throughout the day. Obedience shouldn't be hard and forced, but ready, loving and spontaneous ---- the daily doing of one's duty. And not merely that we do our duty, but that in doing it we become more responsive to God. (Phillips Brooks) | |||
