SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in
the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. Psalm 5:3.
The very first out-breathing of the soul in the morning
should be for the presence of GOD. “Without Me,” He says, “ye can do nothing.”
It is THE GREAT I AM that we need; His light, His life, His spirit, must be
ours continually. We need Him every hour. And we should pray in the morning
that as the sun illuminates the landscape, and fills the world with light, so
the Sun of Righteousness may shine into the chambers of mind and heart, and
make us all light in the Lord. We cannot do without His presence one moment.
The enemy knows when we undertake to do without our Lord, and he is there,
ready to fill our minds with his evil suggestions that we may fall from our
steadfastness; but it is the desire of the Lord that from moment to moment we
should abide in Him, and thus be complete in Him....
God designs that every one of us shall be perfect in
Him, so that we may represent to the world the perfection of His character. He
wants us to be set free from sin, that we may not disappoint Heaven, that we
may not grieve our divine Redeemer. He does not desire us to profess Godliness,
and yet not avail ourselves of that grace which is able to make us perfect,
that we may be found wanting in nothing.
Prayer and faith will do what no power on earth can
accomplish. We are seldom, in all respects, placed in the same position twice.
We continually have new scenes and new trials to pass through, where past
experience cannot be a sufficient guide. We must have the continual light that
comes from God. Remember He is ever sending messages to those who listen for
His voice.
Are you listening? If you are, it is a part of God's
plan to grant all of us, in answer to the prayer of faith, that which He would
not bestow did we not thus ask. May you find straight in your sweet hour of
prayer daily, and as you pray, remember me.
A prayerful moment: Dear
Lord, forgive us your children of our misunderstanding of your word, and lead us from this
day to your truth in all things. Amen
