Just a thought

The Apostle Paul wrote: “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” The logic of the Scripture is that if God is indeed working within the one professing to be saved then his heart would be a willing heart for the things of God, and his life would be a doing life according to the good pleasure of God. Professing without possessing is a common thread; but a willing heart and an obedient faithfulness to the things of God are manifestations of the uncommon work of God within.

In the depths of His grace,

Bro. Manuel

Just a thought

Humble, truth filled, and faithful praying can be a quite allusive practice. The problem is not the busyness of our lives, rather it is a matter of one’s legitimate love of the Father. If we have so preoccupied ourselves with this world as to neglect praying faithfully , then we have abandoned our first love and the love of our homeland the heavenly Jerusalem. If we cannot be honest and truthful with our heavenly Father as we bow before Him, is not deceit imbedded in the heart towards all men as well? Brethren, make communicating with God your foremost preoccupation! Ask, knock, and seek, but do so with a sincere heart examination of your purpose for approaching God’s holy ground of prayer.
