Scripture Reading
Read Malachi 3:1-4 and reflect on the passage.
Read Malachi 3:1-4 and reflect on the passage.
I have a plaque at home that reads, “When life gets too hard
to stand, kneel.” It’s a reminder to get down on my knees more often when I
pray. I admit I don’t kneel enough, but I know that when I do kneel, something
different transpires in my prayer time. Maybe it’s the physical action of
humbly kneeling and bowing down before our Savior that reminds me that He is in
control and has prepared a way of hope. Kneeling does change the way I pray and
the outcome of my prayer time, for it inevitably leaves me with an awesome
sense of peace.
Malachi 3:2 tells us “Who
can endure the day of His coming? Who can
stand when He appears?” Surely we will be so awestruck in the presence of
Jesus as every knee bows before Him. (Rom 14:11) What a beautiful picture
Scripture paints as we reflect on the scene of all people bowing down and
confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord. (Phil 2:10-11) Glory to the Newborn King
and the hope and peace He brings!
Questions
If
you are physically able, would you challenge yourself to humbly kneel before
the Lord the next time you pray?Reflect
on any differences that kneeling makes during your prayer time? Do you have more peace?
Prayer
You are a mighty, powerful Lord who is in control and the
provider of my peace. Please remind me to kneel humbly before You.
