No Other Rock

With one accord in one place. ~ Acts 2:1

Can you recall a time in which you did not know about prayer? I mean, even when I was an itty bitty kiddy – I knew that we prayer to God. Sure, I was not sophisticated in my prayers – and I wasn’t exactly encouraged by family members to pray – but I did.

Not always, but I did sometimes.

I think I have prayed more each year since I became a Christian in 1995. Surely I have prayer more since then than I did before that.

I bring this up because of one statement Baxter makes in today’s devotion:

“Also, for the first time in history, they were practicing the unique kind of prayer which Jesus had taught them, i.e. prayer “in thy Name” (John 16:24) . . . God was no longer just a vast, baffling infinity.”

How lucky we are to have this knowledge and the “instruction manual” for God-centered living! Could you imagine not having it? Could you imagine how incomplete life might be without having a true idea of your salvation?

Today, my prayer for you and I is that we will show gratitude for God’s Word by studying it and living it.
