Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PRAYS FOR THE PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL
Reading: Job 1:4-5
Job 1:5 (KJV)
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
When a law is enacted, it is binding on everyone one, whether you know about it or not, thus it is said that ignorance of the law is no excuse. This was first found in Leviticus 5:17-19 where anyone who disobeys God's law without knowing is guilty of it.
Job was much concern about the spiritual welfare of his family, so he interceded regularly for them. As the father, he was the priest of his house, who cares dearly for his family that he did not want them to fall in the hands of God.
Family is the first point of contact in everyone's life. If your family would know God as you have known Him, you must intercede for them. Unlike in the Old Testament where burnt offerings were made, our offering can be seen in the time we allocate for our family in prayer.
Dear friend, let us regularly sacrifice some time each day to pray and plead with God to help our family live a life pleasing unto Him.
Shalom.
Let's Pray:
Most merciful God, we thank You. Father, as You have been merciful to us, so we plead with You that You be merciful to our family and draw them closer to Yourself. Amen.
