1 Samuel 11; 1 Samuel 12; 1 Chronicles 1; 2 Corinthians 11
As For Me,
I Will Certainly Not Sin Against The LORD
By Ending My Prayers For You.
Scripture
23 “As for me, I will certainly not sin against the Lord by ending my prayers for you. And I will continue to teach you what is good and right.
Observation
Praying for others is one of the most important tasks we
have as believers. If you really believe that God answers our prayers then it
only makes sense to pray for those around you.
Who did you pray for this morning? Did you pray for their
salvation? Did you pray for their healing? Did you pray for God to meet their
physical needs?
I believe that there is no greater joy, next to someone
surrendering their life to Christ, than for God to hear the prayers of His
people. We were created for fellowship with Him and there is no fellowship if
we are not talking to Him.
When we thank God for what He is doing in the lives of
those around us God says that it is a sacrifice that honors Him.
Samuel believed that if he did not intercede for the
people then it was sin. I believe it too.
Application
I will pray for people today as the Lord brings them to
my mind.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, help me to pray for others today. I know that You are pleased when I
focus my attention on other people rather than on myself. Give me a heart like
Samuel’s for the people that You bring into my life. I pray for our friends in
Texas who we are going to spend time with this weekend. Bless them. May Your
face shine brightly on them. Give us a great weekend of fellowship together.
You are a Mighty God.
