As
For Me,
Far
Be It From Me That I Should Sin Against The Lord,
By
Failing To Pray For You.
Scripture
1
Samuel 12
23 As
for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by
failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that
is good and right.
24 But
be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with
all your heart; consider what great things he has done
for you.
Observation
Let
me start out by thanking Pastor Brian Elliott and Derek Christian for
leading us at Christ Fellowship in a special time of worship last
night. I appreciate them so much for doing that for all of us who are
sheltered in!
Yesterday
was what is known to all of us as Good Friday – 'Good' because
Jesus died for our sins. Today is what Max Lucado last night in his
message during his Good Friday Worldwide Event with Chris Tomlin,
called Silent Saturday.
Max
said that God was silent on that Saturday and he says that right now
you and I are experiencing a 'Silent Saturday'. It is true that right
now God is not letting us know what He is doing.
And
we don't know how long this worldwide crisis is going to last. But my
friend we do know that even though we might be living in the middle
of a 'silent Saturday' we know without a doubt that Sunday is coming!
Our
God is Alive! Jesus Christ did not stay in that tomb! God did not
stay silent for long! We celebrate this weekend because we know that
He Lives! And we know that we may be going through a rough time right
now … but we know that Sunday is coming!
Again
I want to say that I appreciate our worship leaders and the
leadership team of our church for all that that do for us! I
appreciate all of you so much!
The
prophet Samuel said this when he was old and when he was no longer
able to lead his people and he was turning the leadership of the
nation over to King Saul, “As
for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by
failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that
is good and right.”
Application
I
will pray for those that the Lord lays on my heart, especially my
pastors and the leadership team of our church.
How
about you? Are you a praying man or praying woman? If not, now is a
very good time to start!
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I pray for my pastors, Pastor Bruce and Pastor Brian. Give
them the wisdom that they need to lead us. Help them to be strong men
of God. Protect them and their families from the evil one. Inspire
them. Encourage them. Keep them away from stupid sins that would mess
up their being able to lead us. Help us to follow their leadership.
Today
is 'silent Saturday', but Lord I know that Resurrection Sunday is
coming! Show us how to bring You glory as we go through this storm!
