MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON
Do not neglect your gift...1 Timothy 4:14
Whenever we live prayerless lives we are neglecting, we
are vacating, our office. What would we think if we went
downtown in one of our cities, only to find desks closed and
office doors locked, businessmen neglecting their office,
the work they had undertaken? It is no different with
Christians when they are neglectful of prayer. The work to which they have been officially called and appointed
remains undone.
Moreover, we are not alone in this work. When Jesus
ascended on high, it was to take upon Himself the office
work of High Priest. It is an office with a real work, an
age-long task --- "He ever liveth to make intercession."
In appointing us to the office of priests He is privileging
us to share His work. He asks us to take part of it upon
ourselves. This is just what we do when we engage in
prayer. How glorious the task! Surely, we will not neglect
it. (Norman B Harrison)
PRAY ABOUT IT: The specific prayer life to which you are
called is glorious. It is your assignment, your gift. We must
not vacate our posts of prayer. The task is magnificent,
the rewards --- both here and in eternity --- are beyond
description.
Take up your office today with joy!
Every work of God can be traced to some kneeling form.
(Dwight L. Moody)
