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 | |||

31 DAYS OF PRAISE by RUTH MYERS For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Thank You, Father, that You so loved the world that You gave Your one and only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ ... that when the time had fully come, He wrapped Himself in human form, being born as a helpless baby in a poor family. Thank You that He walked here on earth radiating the brightness of Your glory and flawlessly expressing Your nature ...and so, through Him, people saw You in action, involved with them, available to meet their needs. Thank You that He focused Your almighty power into the lives of common people with deep needs, just like me...that He preached the gospel to the poor, proclaimed freedom to prisoners of sin and recovery of sight to the blind, and set free the oppressed victims of sin and Satan---the downtrodden, the lost, the hurting, the broken. Thank You for the way He rebuked the arrogant and looked with favor on the humble-minded, opening wide the door of His kingdom to those who were destitute and helpless in spirit. I delight in Your tender mercies, O my God, by which the Sunrise from on high has come to us! Thank You that through the Gospels I can watch this beloved One walk among ordinary people. I can hear the gracious words that came from His lips. I can see His compassion and tenderness toward needy people. His anger at hypocrisy, His faithfulness, His intense love for His followers. Fairest Lord Jesus! You alone are my heart's desire...my chief delight...my soul's glory, joy, and crown. Every advantage life can offer is like rubbish, compared with the overwhelming gain of knowing You. You are worthy, Lord--- worthy to be thanked and praised and worshiped and adored. | |||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light. MATTHEW 11:28-30 To every toiling, heavy-laden sinner, Jesus says, "Come to Me and rest." But there are also many toiling, heavy-laden believers. For them this same invitation is offered. Note well the words of Jesus, if you are heavy-laden with your service, the message isn't to "labor on," as perhaps you imagine. On the contrary, it is to stop, turn back and, "Come to Me and rest." Never, never did Christ send a heavy-laden one to work; never, never did He send a hungry one, a weary one, a sick or sorrowing one, away on any service. For such the Bible only says, "Come, come, come." (J. Hudson Taylor) PRAY ABOUT IT: When we bear a heavy load, we need to hear the invitation to "come and rest." The burdens that weigh you down aren't from God, for His burden is light----so says Jesus. To God, you are more important than the work He's given you. Today, come to Him and exchange your heavy load for His featherweight burden. The worker is far more important to our Lord than the work. (Mrs. Charles E. Cowman) | |||
