A fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his own mind.

The Christian life, is not about remembering a point in time. Salvation is about that, but it is just the beginning. We are called to follow Jesus, and that is not an intellectual exercise. The Bible says that even the demons acknowledge Jesus and shutter! We are Called to Read and study, meditate and pray, serve one another, minister to the weak and poor, share His Story…..You get the idea. If you have been, negligent in this area, confess it. We serve a gracious God who forgives, and separates our sins, as far as the East is from the West. Is that not Amazing! Let’s go out today, filled with the Spirit, and see what God will do. Please share if you see his work in your life today. I know I have already this morning. I had no idea I would be writing this, even after I saw the verse. God is so Good. Thank you Jesus!
The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:9 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/php.4.9/3082
When we pray, what is our motive? Is it all about satisfying our own pleasure, or about bringing glory to God, in what we are asking? We need to check our motives when we pray, because God is all about the motives of our heart, and knows our every thought! Think about using the Lord’s prayer, not to say, but as an example. It always starts the same, recognizing who God is, and giving him praise.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.
James 4:3 NASB

Prayer……This places no limits on a believer’s prayers , as long as they are according to God’s will and purpose (see note on Mt 17: 20 ). This therefore means that man’s faith and prayer are not inconsistent with God’s sovereignty. And it is not the believer’s responsibility to figure out how that can be true, but simply to be faithful and obedient to the clear teaching on prayer, as Jesus gives it in this passage. God’s will is being unfolded through all of redemptive history, by means of the prayers of His people— as His saving purpose is coming to pass through the faith of those who hear the gospel and repent. Cf. Jas 5: 16 . Taken from comments in John MacArthur Study Bible.
Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.
Mark 11:24 NASB

Being right with God is a blessing. He knows our hearts and thoughts. Even when we fail, he hears our prayers of repentance. Thank you, Jesus!
” For the eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous , And His ears attend to their prayer , But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil .”
1 PETER 3:12 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.3.12.NASB
Pray fervently, wait patiently through the trials, that come your way. God is faithful, and will give you strength. He is our strength. He never grows weary, of taking care of those who put their trust and faith in him. So…….let us press on toward the the goal for the prize, of the upward call of God, in Christ Jesus (Phil 3:14)!
Yet those who wait for the Lord Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
ISAIAH 40:31 NASB
https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/isa.40.31/1179
Abiding, means seeing much fruit in what we ask for, in prayer. How can God say no, when the desires of our heart, are linked to him. Father, block everything that detracts our hearts from seeing clearly.
Lord, may our hearts humbly bow before you, in persistent prayer. May we be alert, to the needs of others, so we might lift them up. Reveal yourself to us, through answered prayer, even though it may not be, what we wanted the outcome to be. May we always remember, that you care about us and love hearing our petitions.
Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;
COLOSSIANS 4:2 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.4.2.NASB
There will be a time of Judgement, but the Lord waits patiently, to give all a chance to repent, and turn to Jesus. He does not want any to perish. Won’t you give your heart to him today? Can you feel the spirit tugging on your heart. Don’t wait, be a part of something, so much greater than yourself. Stop right now, and say, Lord, I want to follow you. I give my life, for you to use, for your will, not mine. Thank you for saving me, by your sacrifice, and death on a cross. Thank you also, for rising, and conquering death, and the promise of life eternal. Amen!
Help me Jesus, to take time today to listen, and look for you, in my day today. Show me, and reveal to me in a miraculous, and personal way, that you are the God of the universe. That you hold all things in your hands. That nothing happens without your knowledge, and approval, for your purposes. I humbly submit to you, and am listening and waiting upon you. Amen.
“Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
