Scripture: Colossians 4:2
Scripture Memory: Psalm 55:16-17
As for me, I call to God,
and the LORD saves me.
Evening, morning and noon
I cry out in distress,
and he hears my voice.
Journey: Chances are that many of us will “yawn” when we read the title of this morning’s sermon. It almost sounds mundane. Honestly, what provokes more immediate excitement and a greater sense of anticipation, “How to Have Great Sex” “5 Principles for Absolute Financial Freedom” or “Devoted to Prayer”?
Maybe the title should be “Face to Face with an Awesome God.” That is more to the point anyway. When I weigh the experiences of my life (and there have been quite a few that have really caused my heart to redline) I don’t think there is anything I could compare to standing face to face with God Almighty, speaking with Him and Him speaking to Me.
When I think about it that way, maybe there’s really nothing mundane about the title “Devoted to Prayer.” Perhaps what is mundane and ordinary is our understanding of and personal experience of God which causes us to read the title “Devoted to Prayer” so sleepily. What do you think?
Hoping to chase the good things in life with you,
Will (for the pastors)
