1.15.21 – Daily Dose of Worship. A study on prayer. Part 60. Pray vs. Read.
DEVOTION: I didn’t realize that this was a word but “hermeneutics” means the process or act of interpreting the Bible accurately. Try using that in a sentence today 🙂 Reason I bring it up is because of yesterday’s post and this quote from Donald Whitney. “Correctly handling the Word of God does not permit making…

DEVOTION: “Open the Bible, start reading it and pause at every verse and turn it into a prayer.” – John Piper “To pray the Bible you simply go through each passage line by line, talking to God about whatever comes to mind as you read the text. If you don’t understand the meaning of the…

DEVOTION: “This is my endlessly recurrent temptation: to go down to that sea (I think St. John of the Cross called God a sea) and there neither dive nor swim nor float, but only dabble and splash, careful not to get out of my depth and holding on to the lifeline which connects me with…

DEVOTION: The Christian is not to ask whether this or that event happened because of prayer. He is rather to believe that all events without exception are answers to prayer in the sense that whether they are grantings or refusals the prayers of all concerned and their needs have all been taken into account.

DEVOTION: “When we are praying about the result, say, of a medical consultation, the thought will often cross our minds that the event is already decided one way or the other.

DEVOTION: So let’s stay focused on this topic of focus…it’s something that we need to keep diving into. “If we lay all the cards on the table, God will help us moderate the excesses. But the pressures of things we are trying to keep out of our mind is a hopeless distraction. As someone said,…

DEVOTION: “To put ourselves on a personal footing with God could be nothing but presumption and illusion. We are taught that it is not, that it is for God who gives us that footing. For it is by the Holy Spirit that we cry Father. By unveiling, by confessing our sins and making known our…

DEVOTION: “For up until now we have been tackling the whole question in the wrong way and on the wrong level. The very question “Does prayer work?” puts us in the wrong frame of mind from the outset. “Work” as if it were magic or machine, something that functions automatically. Prayer is either a sheer…

DEVOTION: “Paul did not have any power of his own that enabled him to use the name of Jesus as he did. But when he had to go through privations and the difficulties, and even when all things seemed as if they were shipwrecked, God stood by him and caused him to know that there…
