PRAYING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY
The 10 Commandments was one small section of the indivisible Mosaic Law that Israel received from the Lord Himself. The complete Law covered a wide range of moral; civil, religious and ceremonial ordinances. If the nation remained faithful to the Lord, He promised them unimaginable blessings, while disobedience would necessitate punishment Although in its entirety the Mosaic Law was given to God's covenant people, and although the Decalogue is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, we must never forget that Jesus Himself instituted a new covenant - a better covenant through His own blood. The main function of the Law is to point us to Christ. He is not only the fulfillment of the Law and the prophets, but He is the One Who has fulfilled the Law on behalf of all who would believe on His name. “You shall have no other gods before me. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word and that truths that it contains. Thank You for Your faithfulness to Your people and thank You that in Your grace the Lord Jesus came to fulfil the Law and the prophets and to die on the cross so that that a new and better covenant might be implemented - so that whosever believes on Him would not perish but have everlasting life. Thank You in Jesus name we Pray. AMEN. Ambitions and emotions, temptations and trials, hope and fear, inner thoughts and expectations, together with spiritual strengths and weaknesses, can all be reflected in the face and mirrored in the expression of the eyes. It is often as we openly gaze into the reflection of our own face, through the mirror of God's Word, that we can identify areas that need spiritual adjustment and God's forgiveness. How important to examine our own heart and scrutinize our inner thoughts, through the mirror-like qualities of a still water-pool and to reflect whatever is good, and pure, and wholesome, and holy. The Word of God is the truthful mirror into which we should look carefully. The Bible is the still water-pool in which to gaze day by day - for the face of Christ is the reflection upon which our hearts should rest. As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, what wonderful truths are contained within Your Word. We pray that we may learn to keep the eyes of our hearts fixed upon Christ, and to daily search the Scriptures more faithfully, so that we may learn more of You and increasingly reflect the Lord Jesus in all we say and do. We pray that our lives may be mirror-images of Him, that we may only say the things that He has taught us, and only do those things that honor Him, so that His grace, love, care, and beauty, may be seen in us and flow out to others. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. The seventh day was a day of rest. It was God's Sabbath, and He blessed it and made it holy. The Lord set apart the Sabbath unto Himself and it represented completion, perfection, and rest. God did not rest because He was weary but because He had finished creating a perfect world and was satisfied with all that He had done. Had man not sinned in the garden, it is likely that God would still be resting today. But man did sin, which required God to begin working once again. However, the work in which the Lord is engaged today is the work of redemption. God's ongoing work today is the making of a new creation that is made in the image and likeness of Christ. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that Jesus is our Sabbath rest and that in Him, we have peace with God and the peace of God that passes understanding. Thank You that we are new creations in Christ, and eternal rest is the promised possession of all who have trusted in Him for salvation. We pray that many more will come to an understanding that faith in Christ’s sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection has secured for them eternal rest, if they will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. Israel was to be a NATION under God. They were to be a NATION who trusted God. They were to be a NATION who walked in His ways and kept His commandments as an example to the surrounding Gentile nations. And the Lord knew that the best way for Israel to walk in His ways and keep His commands, was to witness to the world of His goodness and His grace. If Israel told the world of the promised Messiah it would help them to REMEMBER WHO God is and NEVER FORGET WHAT He has done for them. Christians, in this dispensation of grace, should learn whatever lessons God has to teach us from Israel's experience. We should learn what God wants to teach us we should be careful not to repeat Israel's mistakes. We should REMEMBER WHO God is. We should NEVER FORGET WHAT He has done for us. We should heed His Word and be ready to tell others of the hope that we have in Him. I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word, the truths and encouragement that it contains. We see that You were faithful to Israel, despite their many failings, and rejoice to know that You will remain faithful to all who are called by Your name in this Church dispensation. We pray that You would use us in these dark and difficult times, when the world seems to be spiraling out of control, and may we never forget that You are a faithful God Who keeps His promises to a thousand generations. Thank You in Jesus' name, AMEN. Every generation since the creation is familiar with fire, and understands its benefits as well as its dangers. A fire needs fuel to keep it alight and if wood is withheld from the burning embers, then the heat it gives off will die down and the flame will go out! Although fire has many benefits and a wholesome tongue is like a tree of life... that same fire can cause havoc, distress, and devastation. In the same way the tale-bearer, the gossip, the slanderer, and the whisperer, can cause much mischief, but when there is no-one to spread gossip, conflict dies down. Without wood a fire goes out; without a gossip a quarrel dies down. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the wisdom in the book of Proverbs. Help us to take to heart the devastation and destruction that can be caused by careless speech and foolish words. Keep us from participating in any form of talebearing or gossiping. Help us to take to heart this simple truth, that without wood, a fire will go out, and without a gossip, conflict will die down. Purify our hearts and our speech we pray, and may the words of our mouths and the thoughts of our hearts be acceptable to You. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. |
