Absorbing God’s Word
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Applying God’s Word
Sometimes, I have a difficult time cooperating with the above scripture.
I showed up to pray each day this last week. I praised the Lord and gave thanks for everything, almost everything. I wasn’t giving God thanks for all the obstacles that presented themselves.
The obstacles didn’t bother me, but how I allowed them to disrupt my prayer time did.
The good news is that I have a wife who kept praying with and for me. That is something I do thank God for every day.
Accounting of God’s Word
Am I practicing to pray without ceasing in everything? What comes first each day, God or work?
