A Prayer from Nehemiah 1 Study

Nehemiah 1 Prayer

Abba Father,

You are the God of Heaven and Earth- Great and awesome are You.  You are a covenant keeping God and You keep steadfast love with those who love Jesus and are doers of His word. 

We are your royal priesthood, a remnant chosen to proclaim the excellencies of Christ.

We ask that you would incline Your ear today and look down on us, Your children.

WE acknowledge our sin before you today and stand naked and exposed before you.  For you know the cracks and crevices of our lives where debris collects for nothing is hid from your sight.

Father, we have given ourselves over to lesser lovers forgetting that You are the Lover of our souls.  Time and time again we have exchanged our souls for the pleasures of this world.  We have been unfaithful and continue to be unfaithful.  Our hears are scattered before You. 

We return to You this day and thank You that You even though we are a faithless people, You remain faithful.  We thank you that even though we seek after other affections in our lives, You have sent Jesus, Your mighty right arm, to redeem us out of darkness so that we can come into the promised land of Your presence today, fully faithful through Christ’s sacrifice and for this we are thankful

Thank you that you have gathered us as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings.  We rest under the shadow of Your almighty wings, full of delight and fear in Your great and awesome name.

We thank You that You have successfully built a resting place within us and have chosen to be merciful to us, giving us favor in Your sight and the sight of men.

Thank you Father that You have given us special access to Your throne room.  Help us Lord to recognize the constant plot of the enemy to remove the supremacy of Christ from our hearts and minds.  Help us to guard our hearts and maintain the truth of the gospel so that we may drink deeply from Your presences as we have been placed in a high position through Christ. 


We are honored that You have chosen us to declare the excellencies of Christ before and adulterous people.  We ask that you pour out Your grace upon us so that we would be faithful to You and Your kingdom in the intimate places of our lives.  Let our lives be poured out as a drink offering, always celebrating the victory of Christ in our lives.

Trusting In God Ensures That We Maintain Our Spiritual Inertia

Image
Inertia is a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion.  Newton's first law of motion is referred to as the law of inertia and states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an outside unbalanced force. You have experienced this law first hand when you are in the car and someone slams on the breaks,  Your body wants to continue moving forward due to inertia however the car stopping abruptly causes you to be drawn back into your seat, although you initially were leaning forward as your body tried to maintain the same rate of motion. Although the laws of physics dictate the response of the physical world around us, we as believers must maintain our state of rest no matter the unbalanced abrupt interactions we have throughout our day. Rest is of utmost importance in order to maintain a joy filled life that displays the gr...

Rest Yourself Under The Tree Today!

Image
Heavenly Father, Thou has led me singing to the cross where I fling down all my burdens and see them vanish, where my mountains of guilt are levelled to a plain, where my sins disappear, though they are the greatest that exist, and are more in number than the grains of fine sand; For there is power in the blood of Calvary to destroy sins more than can be counted even by one from the choir of heaven. Thou has given me a hill-side spring that washes clear and white, and I go as a sinner to its waters, bathing without hinderance in its crystal streams. At the cross there is free forgiveness for poor and meek ones, and ample blessings that last for ever; The blood of the Lamb is like a great river of infinite grace with never any diminishing of its fullness as thirsty ones without number drink of it. O Lord, for ever will thy free forgiveness live that was gained on the mount of blood; In the midst of a world of pain it i...

Bitterness Produces a Life of Its Own

Image
While on hike with campers yesterday, we came across several galls.   This gall, in particular,  is an oak gall. Oak galls form on the leaves or branches of trees when a specific species of wasp inserts their ovipositor into expanding plant tissue and lays an egg. Once the eggs are laid, the developing young hijack the tree's growth hormones and get the tree to do all the work of providing both a safe haven and a continuous food supply. These galls act as a physiological sink where an endless supply of food is provided for the larvae and now in attracts a whole host of uninvited guests called parasitoids. The word gall means "bitter" and these galls have an extra astringent property due to an increase in the tree's tannin production which deters potential predators from finding and eating the wasp larvae. While galls seldom pose a problem for developing trees, bitterness in the life of a Christian is extremely deceitful and destructive. Hebrews 12:15  ...
