MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON
O LORD, I call to You; come quickly to me. Hear my voice
when I call to You. May my prayer be set before You like
incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening
sacrifice. Psalm 141:1-2
Prayer pulls the rope below, and the great bell rings above
in the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray
so languidly; others give but an occasional pluck at the rope;
but he who wins with heaven is the man who grasps the
rope boldly and pulls continuously, with all his might.
(Charles Haddon Spurgeon)
PRAY ABOUT IT: This is a wonderful image of prayer. We
can picture the large steeple bell and see ourselves standing
below with the rope in our hands. We are commissioned to
ring the bell, and what is our response? A slight tug, an
occasional jerk? Or do we with both hands pull boldly with
all our might? So let our prayers be today. Ring the bell
loudly!
O the boldness with which we can draw near! O the great
things we have a right to ask for! (Andrew Murray)
