Prayer And The Rich Man

Thursday, September 16, 2021

Imagine you were in desperate need of a lot of money, a million dollars. And imagine your father is a billionaire. What would be the wisest way to spend your energy? Should you spend your time and efforts trying to earn a million dollars? Or, would you spend your time and energy installing a phone line and a phone and calling your dad and telling him of your need? It would be wisest to go with the second option. So, it is with us and the Lord. We all deal with problems, wants, needs, and issues. And most people spend most of their energy trying to figure out ways to solve their problems or to get what they want. But, if you're a believer, your Father is more than a billionaire. So instead of putting all that energy in striving to answer your need, put that energy into growing a better prayer life, a stronger devotional life, a clearer communion with God. For the blessings that come through prayer are worth billions, and they're waiting for you - as soon as you get on the line.
