“And it came to pass that, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said unto Him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray. . .’.”
Luke 11:1a
“Lord, teach us to pray,”
The disciple said that day,
As they watched Jesus praying to His Father,
In a most intense and trusting way.
Flowery words and stilted phrases
The Lord Jesus did not use;
Instead, as a child talking with his father
Was the manner of praying He did choose.
For sure there was adoration
For the Glory of His Father;
Trivial pursuit and meaningless words—
For Christ, He did not bother.
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:11
How quietly the world slept that night
When Heaven came down to earth;
No dignitaries or television cameras
Showed up to recognize or record His Birth.
In a tiny innkeeper’s stable
The Son of God was born.
And from His birth until His death
He’d be rejected, despised and scorned.
“If you, then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father, which is in Heaven, given good things to them that ask Him?”
Matthew 7:11
A gift is that which is freely given
From one person to another;
There are no strings attached or a hook inside
When given by a friend or brother.
No, gifts are given to express one’s love
To someone who may not deserve them;
They’re given on purpose by the one who gives,
Not because of pressure or momentary whim.
“Watch, therefore—for you know not what hour your Lord does come.”
Matthew 24:42
Could today be the Day when the Lord does come
To welcome His children home—
Those who’ve trusted Him as Savior and Lord
And have chosen no longer to roam?
Could today be the Day when the Trumpet sounds
And the “dead in Christ shall rise,”
To be joined by those who are still living by faith
And of His Return no longer surmise?
