Not as early as you do quite yet! Man, you get up early, dude. Thanks for continuing to challenge me. God is good...read through E.M. Bounds "Power Through Prayer" yesterday. Some really great examples of early risers who took up 2-3 hours solely to pray. Though Charles Simeon apparently went a solid 4 (from 4-8). Adoniran Judson encouraged people to go to focused, purposeful prayer 7 times a day, even giving specific times that we're good for him, which is what I thought of when reading Psalm 119:6. Of course, Jesus does remain the greatest example. This, while elementary to some, struck me because most of the time I've just mixed everything up over a 2 hour span (reading, preparing a devotional for a group, praying, etc.) But there's so much more, yeah. It's been a wonderfully convicting read. Anyhow, I know it's random but just thought I'd share. Thanks for continuing to post on here J-Chil.
Peace, Pres
hey man - heard you weren't feeling well. Hope you feel better soon.
Pres, that is some challenging stuff.
JN,
Thanks. Pray for me. That in weakness, Christ might be seeen as strong.
I love to read Psalm 19 as it is written and meditate on it. I also love to read Psalm 19 and substitute Jesus for righteous rules, law, your words, promise etc.
Mainly because I am so inept at following His righteous rules.
