Prayer in it’s Purest Form
Mark 1:35 says, “Jesus went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.”
This dialogue must have been common among His friends: “Has anyone seen Jesus?” “Oh, you know. He’s up to the same thing.” “Praying again?” “Yep. He’s been gone since sunrise.”
Jesus would even disappear for an entire night of prayer. Prayer for most of us, isn’t a matter of a month-long retreat or even an hour of meditation. It’s a conversation with God while driving to work or waiting for an appointment. God will teach you to pray. We speak. He listens. He speaks. We listen. It’s prayer in its purest form. God changes His people through such moments.
Here’s my challenge for you! Every day for four weeks, pray four minutes. Then get ready to connect with God like never before!
會說話的驢
/in 每日親近神, 每日親近神-2026 /by meiling〈民數記〉22:33 驢看見我就三次從我面前偏過去，驢若沒有偏過去，我早把你殺了，留牠存活。
以色列人在比珥歡歡喜喜地享用了神給他們的水，又從巴末到摩押地的谷，到那下望曠野之毘斯迦的山頂。毘斯迦的山頂是尼波山的山峰之一，也是摩西的最後一站。但是當神的時間尚未到時，摩西繼續帶領以色列人戰勝亞摩利王西宏，巴珊王噩和他的眾民，長驅直入直到約但河東的摩押平原，對著耶利哥安營。
這時摩押王，西撥的兒子巴勒心急如焚，他聯合米甸的長老，因為以色列人：「要把我們四圍所有的一概餂盡，就如牛餂盡田間的草一般。」他不知道，神不允許以色列人侵犯摩押人：「耶和華吩咐我說：不可擾害摩押人，也不可與他們爭戰。他們的地，我不賜給你為業，因我已將亞珥賜給羅得的子孫為業。（申2:9）」
假如摩押人認識神，他們就不會因為以色列人的來臨而驚慌，因為亞伯拉罕的緣故，神已經把那地賜他們為業。
