Who have we prayed for today? Does the heart of an intercessor live within us? Are we hoarding the atonement of Christ, or sharing its realization with others? These are the questions to ask ourselves this morning.
Who are the various enemies that we face today? Is our enemy a person who threatens or taunts us, a situation in life that we are struggling to overcome, or perhaps a spiritual enemy, Satan, as he or one of his minions, tempts us, and that temptation begins to distract our attention away from God? Is one or more of these detractors our enemy today, and how strong are they actually? Are they able to overcome us without our first bowing down to the one power each of them attempts to wield against us… doubt? Do we allow their assaults to distract our attention from Jesus Christ, or turn us away from God our Father? Nothing else can destroy us; so if we use the threats of men to bring us closer to God, a dire circumstance in life to strengthen us in our prayer closets, or those things that tempt us as a means of reaffirming us in our faith, then what power do our enemies have, and aren’t we able to turn their hatred into our love for them in spite of their harmful intentions towards us?
