So many have read this scripture and put themselves into bondage. They think they must go into a prayer closet and never come out. They quit maintaining the duties of their homes, pull away from community affairs, and forsake time with their spouses and family. This ought not be.
Our lives should be a life of living prayer. We like Enoch should be walking with God daily, allowing him into all the affairs of our lives.
Why not invite Christ through the person of the Holy Ghost to be a part of your daily duties, community services and family gatherings.
- Allow Him to have a say in all that you do.
- Allow Him to quicken you to pray at any given moment concerning what is happening in your life and int he World around you.
E. M. Bounds penned these words concerning I Th. 5:17 ...
Always does not mean that we are to neglect the ordinary duties of life; what it means is that the soul (mind, will and emotions), has come to intimate contact with God in the silence of the prayer chamber and is never out of conscience touch with the Father, that the heart is always going out to Him in loving communion, and the moment that the mind is released from the task upon which it is engaged it returns as naturally to God as a bird does to a nest.
What a beautiful concept of prayer we get if we regard it in this light, if we view it as constant fellowship, an unbroken audience with the King. Prayer then loses every vestige of dread which it may once have possessed; we regard it no longer as a duty which must be performed, but rather a privilege which is to be enjoyed a rare delight that is always revealing some beauty.
Isn't it redemptive to view the Word of God in Light?
