Pray In The New Year – Blazing Saddles
Seriously? Praying in the New Year with Blazing Saddles?
DECEMBER 29
LOVING GOD
Movie . . . Blazing Saddles
Slim Pickens rides up to his other outlaw cowboys and says, “What in the wide, wide, world of sports are you doing?”
And that’s my question to Christians, “What in the wide, wide, world of sports are you doing?”
We need to focus on one thing, loving God, whatever that looks like in your life and wherever that leads us.
Read Today’s Verse
Matthew 22:37 (NASB) And He said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
Background for Today’s Prayer:
So far this week we have:
Asked God to break our hearts,
Given up our idols, including fear.,
Determined to seek God, who promises to let Himself be found by us.
But, how do we make sure that these have not just been, what we might call academic decisions?
Simple answer…. “LOVE!” Our love for Him is the way He asks us to demonstrate our decisions.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
Lord, we so often give You “lip-service” but this verse arrests our heart. Father, how can we love You with all of our heart and all of our soul and all of our mind? Lord this is so difficult to understand, but we trust You to give us the grace to, in fact, love You completely. Lord show us this year, how to in fact love You with all of our heart and all of our soul and all of our mind.
