September 2 “Pray Without Ceasing!” 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina… “Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18)
Isn’t it wonderful? We can go to God anytime, and anywhere, and we can talk to Him about anything! What a true privilege that we have to go to Him with our needs and our praise and our gratitude for all that He has provided for our eternal life! The “Pray without Ceasing” command, has caused me some difficulties, over the years. How am I to pray constantly, when I am engaged in the activities of any given day? My dear Daddy shared some words of wisdom with me, and I have embraced the privilege since that day! He said, “Son, it is your attitude and your focus!” Listen, you do not have to walk around mumbling words to God, however, we must be concentrated and focused on God and be in position to talk to Him, always! Having the profound privilege of being able to communicate with the Father God, through Jesus Christ, should create within our beings the absolute need to shout “Thank-You” to God! Think about this scripture! What a divine privilege to be able to “Pray about Everything, and to be Grateful about Everything!” ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ABOUT ANYTHING… Prayer is the key to Spiritual Growth and to achieve a growing and closer relationship with the Father, through the Son! With a THANKFUL Heart, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! Stay Strong, Stay Focused…THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
