Nehemiah 1:4 KJV — And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
Reflection on God’s Word for Today - 15 Oct 2024
When was the last time you were so concerned about the appalling conditions of other people beside you that you were spurred to spontaneous emotional outburst and empathetic action to intercede for them? More often than not people are focused on their own issues and are less concerned about the needs of others. That should not be said of those who are followers of Christ. You as a disciple of Jesus must distinguish yourself from others by your compassion for others and your love for your community and nation. Your readiness to fast and pray for the good of the land and its people must be unquestionable. How would you rate yourself in this matter? Caution yourself and change if you are falling short of God’s expectation of you.
Pray: O Lord God help me to be a model intercessor for those who are unable and are in need. #Mok
