BIBLE MEDITATION:
“And when thou
prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray
standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be
seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.” Matthew 6:5
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
One time a young professional was waiting for a meeting when
he heard someone walking down the hallway. Thinking that this might be a
potential client for him, he picked up his telephone and pretended to be having
a high-powered conversation.
Soon the footsteps stopped at his desk. Looking up he asked,
“What may I do for you?” The man standing before him replied, “I’m from the
telephone company. I’ve come to hook up your phone.”
Prayer is the same way. The prayer that gets our Savior’s
attention comes from the heart and not from the head, “to be heard by men.”
Prayers to impress people are one-way conversations.
ACTION POINT:
Find a quiet place in your home where you can be alone with
the Lord every day for a special time of communion with the Him. He is waiting
for you there.
