Our Scripture reading today is Luke 22:45-46.
Verse 46, "And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation."
The words of the Lord Jesus to these disciples should be meditated on by each of God's children today. He said, "Rise and pray." Think of the simplicity of that statement...rise and pray. The formula for an abundant Christian life is found in these words...rise and pray! The pathway to victory is found in these three words: rise and pray!
While the instruction is simple, we all know how much our enemy will throw at us to keep us from following through on the instruction. I believe God's Word teaches us that we should labour for the Lord. It teaches us that we should be sharing the Gospel on a regular basis. These activities will not yield what God wants them to yield without first rising and praying!
Please hear the words of our Saviour...Rise and PRAY!
