A reminder for
today
For this cause we
also, since the day we heard it,
do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the
knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. (Colossians 1:9)
I am about to tell you something you will not believe. It is
Thursday! Yes, see I told you. Haha, I woke up this morning thinking why can’t
time not just wait a little and give me a few more hours of sleep. Gosh, getting
up at four every morning is getting harder and harder. I often get the
question: “How do you do it?” How and why do I get up each morning at four and
train as hard as we do? I want to say it is for a cause but that might sound a
little corny. It is simply because I have a goal. I have a plan and I train to
achieve that plan. No, my plan is not a three-month body transformation publicity
stunt. It is year by year goal to better myself and to uplift my fitness and
health with every hour I train. I train every day and I train my cardio just as
hard as I do my weights part. I am committed and determined, and I will succeed.
When you read this verse, we see that Paul says that for
this cause we do not cease to pray. And in that he desires that they will be
filled with knowledge and wisdom and spiritual understanding. When we pray, it
is for a cause. It is the fight we fight against the forces of darkness, but it
is also the support and uplifting of our fellow Christian brothers and sisters.
I pray the same way I train. Every day I go down to my knees and I pray. I find
a quiet spot in the house and there I enter the holy sanctuary of our Lord and I
spend time with Him. I bring you to Him and I give Him all my worries and challenges
and I share my desire for knowledge and wisdom and spiritual understanding.
I believe that in all we do we must seek balance, but I will
go as far as to say that I must pray more than what I train. Prayer is our only
defence against evil and in prayer we arm ourselves and our spirits against the
attacks of the enemy. In prayer we humble ourselves before our Lord as we declare
our need and dependency on Him. You see, without the Lord I am nothing. Nothing
I do I do out of myself. Everything I do I do because of His grace and love.
So, I ask that you do not cease to pray and I desire wisdom
and knowledge and spiritual understanding for you. We have a cause and our
cause is Jesus Christ. Come with me as we carry and fight for our cause.
Lord, I pray that you will bless each one of us with wisdom,
knowledge and spiritual understanding. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
