Daily Prayer_April 22, 2011

The Word for wisdom:

Proverbs 22:12 (KJV)
The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

The Word for inspiration:

Psalm 119:57-60 (KJV)
57 Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep thy words. 58 I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. 59 I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 60 I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

The Word for encouragement:

Colossians 1:19-23 (ESV)
19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. 21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister.

My observation:

The thing that makes Good Friday good is what Jesus did on Friday, and completed on Sunday morning. In his letter to the church at Colossae the Apostle Paul reminded the church of the hope that is the foundation of their faith. Their hope and our hope is in the Lord Jesus Christ, and what he did for us on Calvary's cross over two thousand years ago.

The Apostle Paul reminded the church of who it was that died on that old rugged cross. Notice closely how Paul describes Jesus. He said, "For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell".  Now, that declaration by Paul should bless your soul, and open wide your mouth with a shout of praise to our great and gracious God.

My prayer:

Father God, my dear Father, I am blest beyond measure for the love that was displayed on the cross at Calvary on that Good Friday over two thousand years ago. It thrills my heart and blesses my soul to know how much God loves you and me. Hallelujah, what a Savior.
