October Surprise 2022: In My Defense. Day 12 Devotional 91
October 12, 2022 - Inspired by J.C. Ryle's treatise on Prayer.
Way back in season 6 of our podcast, we took an extended look at “A Call to Prayer” by J. C. Ryle; those episodes turned out to be some of our most popular. For the next few days, we want to revisit a sampling of those episodes. If you find them encouraging, as I do, this review might spur you back to our 2022 and 2023 episodes to hear everything Pastor Ryle has to say about our call to prayer. Thank you for listening. Drops July 16th
We truncated our introduction for the last half of our October episodes. Our shorter introduction ends at the 3:18 mark if you would like to skip to that mark. This way, you have less to wade through.
In my zeal for the moving call for our intimate relationship with the Savior, I missed that it began with a prayer.
In my defense, Jesus says God's truths are revealed to babes. This is descriptive of your host.
Did you know your relationship, including prayer, is an answer to this prayer of Jesus:
At that time Jesus answered and said, "I praise Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that Thou didst hide these things from the wise and intelligent and didst reveal them to babes. 26 "Yes, Father, for thus it was well-pleasing in Thy sight. 27 "All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son, except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. 29 "Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and YOU SHALL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. 30 "For My yoke is easy, and My load is light."
Matthew 11:25-30
To the glory of God, our salvation not only saves us from His wrath but restores the reason for our creation. To walk with Him in the cool of the day, getting to know Him as we are known for eternity.
