The
Lord Detests The Sacrifice Of The Wicked,
But
He
Delights In The Prayers Of The Upright.
Scripture
Proverbs
15
Romans
11
36 For
everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for
his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
Observation
Why
do we take time to pray to God?
Do
we only pray because we need something … or … do we only pray
when we want God to do something for us?
Hey,
why do you and I even exist?
I
know that those are some big thought provoking questions to hit you
with today when you might have wanted to go through the day without
doing a whole lot of soul searching, but … too bad!
I
do want us to think about why we were able to wake up this morning,
why we were able to breathe in that fresh air, and why we are able to
do what we are doing right now.
God
has given us another day on planet Earth … but Why?
Proverbs
15:8 says, “God delights in the prayers of the upright” and
Romans 11:36 says, “Everything comes from Him and exists by His
power and is intended for His glory.”
So
while we still have time ... we need to do these two things:
First:
We need to talk with our Heavenly Father about everything – He
created us to have a personal relationship with Him. It means that
our prayer life should be about everything going on in our life (not
just for what we need or what we need for Him to do), but we need to
talk to Him about everything because God delights in the prayers of
the upright.
Second:
You and I need to bring God glory. It is why we were created! It is
why we should stay away from sin! We should stay away from sin
because of our desire to bring God glory by the way we live. We
should live each day in a way that makes God smile!
Application
I
will talk to my Heavenly Father about everything because I know that
He delights in me and He loves it when I take time to talk to Him. I
will live today in a way that brings God glory. I know that is why I
have been given the gift of life. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, it is so true that You want to take care of all of our needs
as our Heavenly Father, but what You really desire from me is a love
relationship that a child should have with his father. I know that I
was created to bring You glory and honor. It is why I exist. Help me
to do that today. Help me stay away from sin. Help me to talk to You
about everything. I know that You delight in every detail of my life.
And I know that you delight in me when I take time to talk with You.
Guide my life today. Steer me in the right direction.
Give
any person reading this blog today the strength and the desire to put
You first in his or her life.
