With a pure heart and nothing to gain or lose by the encounter, >Samuel tells Eli the truth. >We too must sometimes confront people with truth, knowing that the truth >will hurt. Ephesians 4:15 instructs us to speak the truth in love. >Speaking the truth without love is destructive. >Samuel's example is a difficult one but a good one. Like Samuel, we can >only fulfill such a task if our hearts are pure and we do not manipulate >the situation for our own benefit. > >PRAYER >• Because we can know the truth and the truth can set us free, offer >your praise to the Lord: >I will extol You, my God, O King; >And I will bless Your name forever and ever. >Every day I will bless You, >And I will praise Your name forever and ever. >Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is >unsearchable. >One generation shall praise Your works to another, >And shall declare Your mighty acts >(Psalm 145:1-4). > >• Pray this confession to the Lord as you seek to keep your life free >from sin: >"For a mere moment I have forsaken you, >But with great mercies I will gather you. >With a little wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; >But with everlasting kindness I will have mercy on you," >Says the Lord, your Redeemer >(Isaiah 54:7-8). > >• Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind. Now pause >to pray this affirmation to the Lord: >"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and >opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me" >(Revelation 3:20). > >• As you make your requests known to the Lord, pray for: >• greater love for your family, >• the work of missions in North and South America, >• whatever else is on your heart. >• Offer this closing prayer to the Lord: >May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved >us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort >your hearts and establish you in every good word and work (2 >Thessalonians 2:16-17). > > >Quiet Walk is published by Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, Inc. in >Atlanta, GA.
