1/16/2023 0 Comments Go into the wilderness7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty and the land was filled with them.Ĩ Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph. 6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation. 5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already. 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. Only then will we be equipped to do great and mighty things for Him.ġ Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt every man and his household came with Jacob. Each day should find us on our knees begging God to work in our lives. The strength we have in ourselves is far too little to meet the challenges we face. The strength to overcome the obstacles we face, the power to triumph over temptation, and the resources-both physical and spiritual-to do God’s work are supplied through prayer. Prayer makes the Christian’s armor bright The poet and hymn writer William Cowper wrote: As a result, we deprive ourselves of so much that God is able to give to us-and our work for Him suffers as a result. Though we pay lip service to the power of prayer, the lack of time we spend in prayer reveals that we are not truly convinced that God will hear and answer when we call out to Him. The vital necessity of prayer is a reality that is far too often ignored in our day. If Jesus needed time to pray, how much more important is it for us to spend time with Him in prayer? More than once Jesus interrupted His ministry, leaving behind people who were wanting to see and hear Him and be healed, to go alone to pray. There were many occasions when He gave up sleep or eating in order to pray. Prayer was a vital resource to Jesus-so important that He frequently drew apart from others in order to have time to spend with His Father in prayer. And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.” “But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
