Thoughts in Worship
Message Magazine's Online Devotional for Saturday, August 26, 2017

This is devotional thought number 64 in our devotional series, “Essentials of Faith.” Our subject is: My Privilege of Prayer
Here’s the question for consideration: Under what conditions should I expect God to answer my prayers?
“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” (1 John 5:14–15).
If you have been following our reading for some time, you may be anticipating what I will say in reference to our theme text since we’ve covered it multiple times before. Today’s perspective will be different. What is the will of God? We know that He’s not willing that any of us miss out on eternal life. Peter made that clear. What else? We’ll talk about that in a moment, but first, be assured that if we align our prayers with His will, He will hear and answer us accordingly. That is encouraging.
Notice the connection David makes between delight and God’s law in the following passage: “I delight to do thy will, O my God: Yea, thy law is within my heart.” (Psalm 40:8). David said that he took pleasure in the holy law that God etched on the fleshy tables of his heart. I find the Messianic implications interesting. Citing the same verse, almost identically, Paul quotes Jesus. “Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.” (Hebrews 10:5–9). In another place, Jesus is quoted as saying: “Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.” (John 4:34).
Under what conditions should I expect God to answer my prayers? God’s loves to answer prayers from humble, penitent people who have learned to love His holy ten commandment law of liberty. In His law we find a transcript of God’s character upon which to meditate and to emulate.—L. David Harris (www.DavidWritesaLot.com)
