Greetings Prayer Warriors,
Have you ever lived somewhere but failed to take advantage
of local attractions, excursions, or events, thinking to yourself, “they will
always be there”. Then an unanticipated
move occurs and you kick yourself for not taking advantage of what was there
all along.
Behold, I am with you always. Matthew 28:20
Sometimes that’s how we treat God. Since He’s always there we tell ourselves,
“One day I will spend time with him. One
day I will go to church. One day I will
begin to read scripture. One day I will
carve our time to pray.” The problem is,
we don’t know how many tomorrows we will have!
The King of Kings continually
invites us to spend time with Him so that He might refresh us and give us
gifts. The invitation comes in many
forms and through many people, yet apathetically we feign disinterest and
mumble, “no thanks.” “I’ve got to watch
the game today.” “I need to sleep
in.” I’ve got to go shopping”. “I have too much homework.” “There is too
much house/yard work that must be done.”
Would we have that same response if royalty, a sports celebrity or a movie star
invited us to spend time with them??
He dispatched his servants to
summon the invited guests to the feast, but they refused to come. Matthew 22:3
What are we
waiting for! Let us not make assumptions that tomorrow always awaits us, for we
do not know the number of our days nor the number of those we love. Spend time with the Lord daily, that you may
enjoy the riches of His love both here and throughout eternity. Be kind to your
family and friends, and let them know how much you love them. Make time for them, and pray that they see
the face of Jesus and feel His love through you. Pray often, as the Lord loves the sound of your
voice. And what’s better than advocating
in prayer for others and uniting ourselves with Mercy & Love?
Many are invited, but few are chosen. Matt 22:14
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Pray that many will say “yes!” to His invitation. Pass it on!
