Every Word – Our Father
He started at the beginning. “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven.” – Matthew 6:9
Every Word – Why Pray?
It doesn’t teach God… “Your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.” – Matthew 6:8
Every Word – Vain Repetitions
Get your heart involved! “And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.” – Matthew 6:7
Every Word – Who Sees in Secret
Some of the best news you’ll ever hear! “But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” – Matthew 6:6
Every Word – Private Prayer
Now’s the time… “But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” – Matthew 6:6
Every Word – Compassionate and Merciful
It’s easy to believe. “Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.” – James 5:11
Every Word – What Do You Say?
Isn’t that good advice? “And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.” – Ephesians 5:2
Every Word – Blessed Discipline
He had something useful to say. “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole.” – Job 5:17-18
Every Word – Strengthened
Whether it works out or not… “Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.” – 1 Samuel 30:6
Every Word – That Kind Can Never Change
Jesus didn’t believe that. “Jesus answered and said unto him, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’” – John 3:3
Every Word – Obvious?
What if you did the same? “So David inquired of the Lord, saying, ‘Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?’ And He answered him, ‘Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.’” – 1 Samuel 30:8
Every Word – Walls of Water
How would that have felt? “So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.” – Exodus 14:22
