Daily Prayer_July 5, 2011

The Word of God for wisdom:

Proverbs 5:22 (HCSB)
A wicked man's iniquities entrap him; he is entangled in the ropes of his own sin.

The Word of God for inspiration:

Psalm 96:2 (HCSB)
Sing to Yahweh, praise His name; proclaim His salvation from day to day.

The Word of God for encouragement:

2 Kings 1:7-9 (HCSB)
⁷ The king asked them, "What sort of man came up to meet you and spoke those words to you?" ⁸ They replied, "A hairy man with a leather belt around his waist." He said, "It's Elijah the Tishbite." ⁹ So King Ahaziah sent a captain of 50 with his 50 ⌊men⌋ to Elijah. When the captain went up to him, he was sitting on top of the hill. He announced, "Man of God, the king declares, 'Come down!'"

My observation:

It has been interesting to read through the bible this year using the chronological plan. I have discovered so many interesting truths that have been an encouragement to me. This week I will be sharing some of those truths I read last week.

I have noticed that the bible uses the term, "Man of God" to refer to several of the faithful servants of the Lord. Elijah was one who had that title.

Can we have people today who bear that title? Is it possible for you to be a "Man of God"? Is it possible for you to be a "Woman of God"? Ponder this passage, and think about it.

1 Timothy 6:10-12 (HCSB)
¹⁰ For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains. ¹¹ But you, man of God, run from these things, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. ¹² Fight the good fight for the faith; take hold of eternal life that you were called to and have made a good confession about in the presence of many witnesses.

My prayer:

Father God, Abba, Father, I praise and thank you that you are still putting the mantle on servants of God who have faith in you. Father, when you look at me, may you find a person that is faithful, and will be faithful to the end. Father, I thank you that you are faithful to the end.
