"Devotion!"

 

"Restoration of Unity!"

 

Matthew 6:16-18 NIV

"When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

 

These WORDs were spoken by Christ immediately after HE lead HIS disciples in a prayer that is remembered as The Lord's Prayer.

As HE was providing for us an example of prayer, Christ was also teaching an important TRUTH about devotion.

Each of us must take these WORDs as instruction, understanding the depth of God's desire to answer our prayers depending upon our obedience to HIS Will.

We will see a manifestation of God's Power in our lives through fasting and prayer, and we will be RESTORED in unity, both with God and our fellowship with other believers.

Our prayer for self correction, must be at the forefront of our plea, and our faithfulness to HIS Will becoming evident in our devotion to HIM and our love for fellow servants of Christ and HIS Kingdom's work!

 

O'Lord, YOUR Will for me,
is to be Faithful and Obedient!
My heart belongs to YOU,
My soul, YOURs for eternity!!
Show me YOUR Power and Might,
for YOUR Glory surrounds me,
bearing Light in the darkest night!!!

 

Forever and Amen!!!
