A Note from the Apostle Paul on Prayer. A Spiritual Battle indeed.

This verse introduces the general character of a believer’s prayer life: 1) “all prayer and petition” focuses on the variety; 2) “at all times” focuses on the frequency (cf. Ro 12:12; Php 4:6; 1Th 5:17); 3) “in the Spirit” focuses on submission, as we line up with the will of God (cf. Ro 8:26, 27); 4) “be on the alert” focuses on the manner (cf. Mt 26:41; Mk 13:33); 5) “all perseverance” focuses on the persistence (cf. Lk 11:9; 18:7, 8); and 6) “all the saints” focuses on the objects (cf. 1Sa 12:23).

A Prayer of gratitude, to our Loving Father.

Father, we come before you in humility. You are Holy & Righteous & Perfect & Just & Know & See all things. Before you, we bow, because our heart are grateful for your gift of your son, Jesus. He has made all things right, that we might stand before you as clean and whole, in spite of our sinfulness. We are eternally grateful, and bless your name, today, and everyday. Amen

May our light shine bright, for the world to see. May that light, not point to us for our perfection, but to Jesus, who was perfect in every way. The God/Man who came to give us this light and life.

This never gets olds, hearing that I can’t earn salvation. The Law cannot save me and when I strive to earn it I am never good enough, but through Jesus, I am made whole, by his gift, that he has freely given, to all who receive it. What a terrible burden, that I am free from the yoke of the Law.

Praise to the one, who has given us Jesus, so that we might have access, to the thrown of God. We celebrate this time of year, that we were given this gift of the Son of God, who was God in human flesh.

Here is the WHY, that follows behind this verse. So that your giving will be in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

Colossians 1:15a – The Son is the image of the invisible God.

Glory of the Lord revealed

A prophetic exhortation told Israel to prepare for the revelation of the Lord’s glory at the arrival of Messiah. Scripture sees John the Baptist in this role (Mt 3:3; Mk 1:3; Lk 3:4–6; Jn 1:23). It likewise sees the future forerunner who is to be like Elijah preparing for Christ’s second coming (Mal 3:1; 4:5, 6).

Call upon the name of the Lord, for He will not disappoint! His Love endures forever. He gives Life to those who Humble themselves before him. His Love never fails. Nothing can separate us from the Love of God.

Father, give us ears to hear, and eyes to see, as we seek ways to show your blessings to others, today. May we not forget, those especially, our brothers and sisters in Christ, in need.
