Prayer is something that I have been severely neglecting in my spiritual walk. I know how important it is and how many times we are encouraged to do it in Scripture. Prayer is one of those things that do not come easy for me, so I am going to have to put in a lot of work until I get used to it. I really want to be a person of prayer, but have been making excuses long enough. Now is the time to dedicate myself to communing with God. I plan to pray every morning this year and document the changes it makes in my life.
As long as there have been armies and weapons, nations have boasted of their power, but such power does not last. Throughout history, empires and kingdoms have risen to great power only to vanish in the dust. David, however, knew that the true might of his nation was not in weaponry but in worship, not in firepower but in God’s power. Because God alone can preserve a nation or an individual, be sure your confidence is in God, who gives eternal victory. Whom do you trust?
Only two paths of life lay before us–God’s way of obedience or the way of rebellion and destruction. Be sure to choose God’s path because the path you choose determines how you will spend eternity.
This week my one small thing is committing to pray 10 minutes a day. This is something I’ve been neglecting for a while. I find the best way to get in the habit of praying or learning how to pray is to immerse yourself in the Psalms. David had such eloquence for pouring out his heart and praising God.
