The Lord’s People – 2

. A Holy People

Deuteronomy 7:6

For you are a people holy  to the Lord your God.  The Lord your God has chosen  you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.

1 Peter 1:15

just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;

.. A Happy People

Deuteronomy 33:29

Blessed are you, Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is your shield and helper and your glorious sword. Your enemies will cower before you, and you will tread on their heights. ”

John 15:11

I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

Today’s Prayer

Dear Lord, thank You that You made a way—the only way—of salvation for us through Your Son. Please help me to live fully surrendered and devoted to You and Your will. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The Answer to Prayer

 Patiently wait for God alone, my soul! For he is the one who gives me confidence. — Ps 62:5

Our too general neglect of looking for answers to what we ask, shows how little we are in earnest in our petitions. A husbandman is not content without the harvest; a marksman will observe whether the ball hits the target; a physician watches the effect of the medicine which he gives; and shall the Christian be careless about the effect of his labor?

Every prayer of the Christian, made in faith, according to the will of God, for which God has promised, offered up in the name of Jesus Christ, and under the influence of the Spirit, whether for temporal or for spiritual blessings, is, or will be, fully answered.
