09-15-24 prayer picture.jpg

It has been my experience that it’s easier to drift than it is to stand firm in my faith.  The Scriptures call us to one kind of life, our culture calls us to a very different one with priorities that are usually contrary to the life of love, mercy, and sacrifice, that we’re called to live.

​

The flow of our culture is like water in a river.  It never flows up, it always moves to ever lower levels.  Ungodliness and selfishness, and yes, pride, in our “enlightened” thinking is common… and dangerous.

​

How can we resist this constant pull on our priorities, attention, and desires?  Well, to begin with, what do you fill your mind with?  Is it uplifting and encouraging, or does it promote fear, anger, hatred, and ungodliness.  Even “good” television programming is becoming increasingly dark.  The vocabulary we hear on a regular basis was not allowed on television a dozen years ago.  Guess what, that vocabulary slips into how you think and what you say very quickly.

​

Instead, fill your mind with Scripture.  Read it every day, study it multiple times a week, set aside regular times to meditate on what your studying (that means, think it over carefully), and memorize passages on a planned and consistent basis.

​

But there is one step that I believe is even more important than regularly feeding you mind with God’s word.  That is the regular and pervasive habit of prayer.  God most often speaks through His word, we speak to God through prayer.

​

How consistent are you to take your concerns before the Lord?  When you do, how good are you at leaving them there?  Prayer, it’s not just for mornings anymore!
