Grace For Your Day 1-1-12

Psalm 141:2 Let my prayer be set forth as incense before You, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Sacrifice seems like an awful lot. I imagine sacrifice being something very difficult, almost impossible, especially when we are talking about a sacrifice that would be good enough for God! Actually, when it comes down to it, God isn't asking anything all that difficult. He actually did all the hard work Himself, and now He is asking of us for one thing, that leads to the sacrifice that He is pleased with. God is simply looking for faith. He wants us to believe Him, everything that He said, and most importantly in His Son Jesus. The cool thing about believing is that it always leads us to praying, and this verse tells us that our prayers are a sweet smelling aroma to the Lord, and our worship that springs forth from our prayer is better than the evening sacrifice to Him. As we begin our 21 days to a consistent prayer life, let our first day begin with a simple prayer asking God to build our faith and trust in Him. Amen.
