In fact, God wants other nations to see His >favor on Israel and desire to know Him because of what they witness in >the lives of His people. >This truth is reflected when Solomon prays that "the Lord our God be >with us . . . [so] that all the peoples of the earth may know that the >Lord is God; there is no other" (vv. 57, 60). David understands this >principle also when he writes in Psalm 67:7: "God shall bless us, and >all the ends of the earth shall fear Him." And today God wants to bless >us spiritually that others may see Christ in us and be drawn to Him. > >PRAYER >• Praise the Lord who blesses us that we might draw others to Him >because of His mark in our lives: >"You are worthy, O Lord, >To receive glory and honor and power; >For You created all things, >And by Your will they exist and were created" (Revelation 4:11). >I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, >And will sing praise to the name of the >Lord Most High (Psalm 7:17). > >• Pause for personal praise and thanksgiving. Pray this confession to >the Lord as you seek to keep your life free from sin and its effects: >Of the Rock who begot you, you are unmindful, >And have forgotten the God who fathered you (Deuteronomy 32:18). > >• Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind. Now pray >this affirmation to the Lord: >Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed >what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like >Him, for we shall see Him as He is (1 John 3:2). > >• As you make your requests known to the Lord, include: >• greater commitment to the Lord, >• the work of specific Christian ministries, >• whatever else is on your heart. > >• Offer this closing prayer to the Lord: >Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, >And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of >our hands (Psalm 90:17). > > >Quiet Walk is published by Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, Inc. in >Atlanta, GA.
