Psalm 109:4 “In return for my love they are my accusers, but I give myself to prayer.”
“Prayer must not be our chance work, but our daily business, our habit and vocation.”
“Prayer is the safest method of replying to words of hatred.”
C.H. Spurgeon
When the apostle Paul penned these words in his letter to the church at Colosse, “Be devoted to prayer” (Col. 4:2), he was being led by the same God, and the same Holy Spirit that King David spoke about when he penned in Psalm 109, “But I give myself to prayer”
Friends, are the tongues of envy, slander, or ridicule flying at you these days? Do you feel the impact of the words on your body by the blows of these negative attacks? Words that are empty of love, without encouragement, lacking in compassion. Well, you are not alone! God, who is able to be your personal All Star Catcher, is with you. He is behind you catching all those curve words, all those fast slanders, and all those sliders that attempt to clip you on the head. Believers in the Lord, you who are on the right team, keep that helmet of salvation on tight; keep the shield of faith firm; and the bat of prayer ready to respond. Your grand slam is about to happen. Go to Him! He is on first base terms with you. He is the Second in the trinity as you see Him. Know that! He is risen on the Third day. Now you run the race to Home Plate. Not looking back, but pressing on in your Prayer Approach to the Plate of Grace. World champions, at the throne of the King of kings, to the glory of God. Amen!
