SCRIPTURE: 1 Kings 2; 1 Chr. 29; Ps. 95; 2 Th. 1
2 Thessalonians 1:11ish
[W]e pray for you all the time—pray that our God will make you fit for what he’s called you to be, pray that he’ll fill your good ideas and acts of faith with his own energy so that it all amounts to something.
OBSERVATIONS: Two-fold prayer: Fitness for the task, and then fulness of God.
APPLICATION: I look for good ideas first, then the energy to fill them. What I should be praying for is God to make me the disciple he wants me to be. Then, the leader he wants me to be. Then, the energy and blessings can come.
PRAYER: Lord, as you see fit, make me fit for service. Then and only then, may your energy and spirit fill the ideas and actions of my faith-life and make them full, instruments for your will. In Christ, Amen.
