“O
Lord God . . . let her be the one You have appointed.” Genesis 24:12-14
Prayer is an extremely important
element to our Christian lives. Imagine living through years and years of
married life without ever talking to your spouse. That would be a pretty lousy
marriage. Jesus is our betrothed spouse. We need to talk to Him. And we need to
talk to Him about specific things, how we feel, our hopes, our pains, our joys,
and the mundane things about our days. And when we talk we need to talk in
specifics. Abraham’s servant is a grand picture of how to talk to God in
specifics.
Do you want a specific answer, offer
a specific prayer. Are we afraid that God will guide us in another way than we
intend if we ask Him specifically about an issue on our mind? Are we afraid
that God won’t answer, so it’s safer to stick to generalities? We deal with
specifics with our spouses. He is our Beloved, and we need to talk to Him like
He is.
Dear Father, Help us to seek You in
very special ways. Amen.
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop
you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in
the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be
enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend. Amen
