Do we read God’s Word, and how do we do so? There are many ways in which we go about reading the Bible; we hunt and peck for truth in specific scriptures , we read certain chapters repetitively, we lean on favorite bible stories, we look for signs of Jesus in the Old Testament, or seek Him out in the New Testament, however we read it is good, but it is meant to do more than just teach us, or entertain us.
Who do you glorify in your prayers? Is your aim to glorify God, or is it to bring glory upon yourself? This is especially a danger when we are interceding in prayer for others because it is easy for them to attribute the success of a prayer to the intercessor, and thus assign the glory there incorrectly. In the secret privacy of our prayer closets this same issue arises, however it has to do with the motive behind our prayers... who do we glorify, and who do we allow others to glorify as we pray?
