"For the elect's sake those days will be shortened."
~ Matthew 24:22
What an honor is thus put upon saints! How diligently they ought to use their influence with their Lord! He will hear their salvation. Many a sinner lives because of the prayers of a mother, or wife, or daughter, to whom the Lord has respect.
Have we used aright the singular power with which the Lord entrusts us? Do we pray for other lands, and for the age? Do we, in times of war, famine, pestilence, stand out as intercessors, pleading that the days may be shortened? Let us get to our knees and never rest till Christ appears." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us of our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
