Watch Unto Prayer

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, act the part of being a man, and pray to be strong. I Corinthians 16:13 No one is ever defeated who watches unto prayer, who stands fast in the faith, who acts the part of a man, and who is strong in God. These all lead to a victorious life. The command to be awake and watch is as important as any other command God has given to man. The nearer we get to the end of time, the more Satan is determined to put us to sleep spiritually. Something to think about; each moment passing into history is a moment of value or a moment of time wasted. The spiritual tide today is very low. When our spiritual journey is low God longs for us to wake up and be filled with His glory so we’ll glow for Him. You can’t obtain spiritual life through just talk or by believing doctrines, but by living God’s truths by being awake, watchful, and obediently living for Him. Don’t wait until you’re faced with extreme difficulties before praying. Pray throughout the day. Seek God in all that you do. God never fails those who pray. He won’t let you down when you are on your knees. Don’t be a life that crashes spiritually because of failure to keep in contact with your connection to heaven, which is God’s abiding peace. – My thoughts with In the Morning, by W. Ochs, page 343.
