Part 7 in our Introduction to Prayer Series
In the movie, Do You Believe?, a man stops a car with a gun and asks the driver if he is ready to die. He was taken aback when the driver answered, “Yes,” and proceeded to explain that he was deeply connected to God, that he trusted God in all things, and felt he was ready because he lived each day for God. We should be prepared to meet our God every day. Our response to Amos’ plea, “Prepare to meet thy God!” can be, “I am already prepared! But I will pray to be sure that I am prepared enough!” How are you treating the people around you? In God’s eyes, that is an indicator of your true spiritual condition. When we treat them with love, we are listening to God’s command to us. We are being obedient to God’s call. Where you fall short, may you be moved to pray, “God, grant me listening ears, so that I might receive your spirit, and spread your kingdom, so that I and others are prepared to meet you at life’s end. May all glory and honor be to God! Thanks be to God! Amen.
Luke 10:38-42
10:38 Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.
10:39 She had a sister named Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to what he was saying.
10:40 But Martha was distracted by her many tasks; so she came to him and asked, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to do all the work by myself? Tell her then to help me."
10:41 But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things;
10:42 there is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part, which will not be taken away from her."
