Revealing the Words of the Lord

Acts of Worship
Learning to Pray


Jesus Prays for the Disciples

Exodus 4:27-31  The Message

27-28 God spoke to Aaron, “Go and meet Moses in the wilderness.” He went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him. Moses told Aaron the message that God had sent him to speak and the wonders he had commanded him to do.
29-31 So Moses and Aaron proceeded to round up all the leaders of Israel. Aaron told them everything that God had told Moses and demonstrated the wonders before the people. And the people trusted and listened believingly that God was concerned with what was going on with the Israelites and knew all about their affliction. They bowed low and they worshiped.
 
For Reflection
Where is the word of the Lord revealed?  Scripture is a good choice, as is fellowship.  However, reading the word and listening to others interpret it is ineffective unless  study and discussion is accompanied by solo time for meditation and prayer.  It is in prayer where we discover the meaning of Christ in our lives.  It is in prayer for others that we discover the depth of our compassion.  It is in prayers of intersession where we discover opportunities to practice justice.  It is in our prayers of confession where we discover forgiveness.

Pray
Pray.
