Entering His Presence In Prayer
God has led his people out of Egypt and across the great desert. Now they stand ready to enter the promised land. But before the Israelites go into the land, Moses has impt advice to them which he delivers in 3 parts. In the 1st part, Moses reviews the history of Israel with the crucial lesson: that obedience brings blessing while disobedience results in judgment.
Lord, we’ll Draw Close to You:
Observe the laws carefully, for this
will show yr wisdom to the nations,
who will say: “Surely this great
nation is a wise and understanding
people.” What other nation is so
great as to have their god near
them the way the Lord is Near us
whenever we Pray to Him (D4:6-7)
The Lord Spoke to you from the
heart of the fire. You Heard the
sound of His words but Didn’t See
His form; there was Only A Voice.
So He declared to you His covenant
which He commanded you to
perform the Ten Commandments…
And the Lord commanded me…
to teach you statutes… that you
might observe them (v12-14).
You will seek the Lord your God,
and you will find Him if you seek
Him with all your heart (v29).
Lord, we thank You for being Close
to us when we pray; and thank You
that You hear and will answer us.
Grateful that in Your presence there
will be transformation for my life.
I Draw Close to You and ask for an
increasing sense of Your presence.
I ask that You will help me to pray
more each day and grant me faith
to believe for the answers. Amen.
Lord, in our relationship, there will
be a constant interplay between
the hidden and the revealed.
You Lord don’t compel our faith;
and we always have to choose
to see what You are revealing.
So even as I hear Your voice but
don’t see Your form, enable me to
accept as much of what You reveal.
Help me accept Your revelation
and trust what I can’t see. Amen.
Lord, You want Your people to
place holiness as a way of life and
be obedient to You in every action.
Help us always to hallow Your laws,
to draw close to You by praying.
Help us to purpose in our heart
Not be Afraid but Trust You God
by remembering Your mighty acts.
Help us to seek You with all our
heart and all our soul. Amen.
