1st Samuel 1:22. “But Hannah went not up; for she said to her husband, ‘I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then will I bring him, that he may appear before the Lord.’” APPEAR BEFORE THE LORD. There is a special time when we appear to worship – A time planned by God to meet with His own. True, we can worship and enjoy God’s fellowship – But there is a difference when the saints come as one.
To worship and sacrifice can be a daily event When we give back to God what first He gave to us. When the saints gather considering what Christ’s coming meant There is a special meaning when we gather to Him thus.
There are many times in a day when speaking to God in my heart I am conscious of the fact; He knows just what I mean. My lips may move and at times words may start – At other times in prayer there is no movement seen.
The results may come quickly or maybe take a year. When leaving a thing with the Lord, I need no more be sad. The burden had transferred when my heartfelt prayer He hears And I can go on my way with a heart He has made glad.
Sometimes it is just me – other times with my wife – Other times God’s people come together to pray. Whatever the nature of prayer in my daily life – I am confident that God hears every word I say.
“This brief prayer, O God, is an assurance that whether in the silence of my mind; the whisper or words of my voice – even when unsure what to say – You hear the prayer of Thy servant. I thank Thee for this blessing, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
