Today I would like for us to think on this treasure. What have you asked God for lately? Have you even asked God for anything in the recent few days? Now the reason for this question is that I believe this is perhaps the most prayer less generation ever. The reason of my thinking is due to the fact that we in America are the most comfortable generation ever!
Consider these precious truths....
James 4:2....you do not have because you do not ask.
1 John 5:14-15...Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us, and if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of him.
John 14:13 & 14...And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do,....If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
I could have written many other scriptures but these will suffice. Our topic for the past few days is, are we in the COMFORT ZONE in our relationship with Christ? One of the telling signs that we are, is how much are we depending on HIM in our everyday lives? How do we assess that??? How much and what are you praying about (aka...asking HIM for ).
So, my brothers and sisters, how is you prayer life? Are you spending much time in secret with HIM? Specifically searching scripture seeking answers from HIM via HIS precious word? When we are comfortable, we will be self sufficient. Oh, we will call on HIM when there is a major calamity but in the daily stuff we have it all under control. Or so we think.
If you haven't been spending time with HIM in His word and in prayer time perhaps this is a flag saying you are too comfortable in your walk of faith. Perhaps it is time for you to ask God to get you out of your COMFORT ZONE so you can see the glory of GOD on a daily basis. Don't settle for less than the absolute best HE has for you and your family.
But you will never see it until you get out.......of your COMFORT ZONE that is!!!
Blessings
