Today’s Thought “Tell HIM What You Want…” G. Ward

“But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:6

 

Have you heard it sung, “Jesus is on the main line, tell HIM what you want?” How does that contrast our being what HE created solely for HIS purpose? Since professing that HE is more than enough, what if you and I received all we wanted; would the objectivity bless others? Moreover, would the receipt of the imposed possession be shared indiscriminately (cf. Ps.24:1)? Worship extracts nothing, but gives without hesitation (Ps.34:1-2), insisting that the Most High is addressed reverently (Eccles.5:1-2). Considering His ability to take any life He’s given, along with nothing being made that HE didn’t produce, His sovereignty, omniscience and knowing my thoughts and motives (even before my contrived suppositions), my premeditative contemplations must erase all I want, pleading to be useful in His potential presentation.

Happy Friday (On the Prayer Line for Friday, While a NO SHOW on Sunday – Bless your Heart!)!
