Prayer Is A Priority
“The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.� Proverbs 15:8
A while back, I bought a new TV. Our old TV was around for a long time. It was one of those giant boxes that took up a quarter of the living room. The picture was terrible. It was time for a new TV.
I wanted the best, so I researched the internet and decided on a 68-inch HD PIP LC TV. That is what I bought.
The day I set up the new TV was a rare Sunday when our church didn’t have something going on that afternoon. I watched a football game on my new HD PIP LC TV. Actually, with the picture in picture, I could watch two football games simultaneously. I decided to watch a Chiefs game on the main screen. In the little picture in picture, I decided to watch a 49ers game. I always cheer for the 49ers to lose. I used to like them years ago when Joe Montana played. However, since that idiot quarterback refused to stand up for the National Anthem, I have always cheered for the 49ers to lose. If you are a 49ers fan, please don’t write to me to complain. You know everybody hates the 49ers now.
I had everything I needed for a football game: tater chips, ranch dip, and a glass of sweet tea. I kicked back in the recliner to watch my new 68-inch HD PIP LC TV. It had a magnificent picture. You could see the pores on Andy Reid’s nose.
Five minutes after I started watching the game, it came up a big cloud. “It came up a big cloud� means a terrible storm blew through. There was thunder, lightning, and a fierce downpour of rain.
Suddenly, the electricity went out. I sat there looking at a blank screen. The power stayed off for three hours. I missed the football games. All the bells and whistles on that 68-inch HD PIP LC TV—all the money I spent on that TV—didn't make any difference without any power.
Are you looking for power? I am not talking about the power to run a TV. I am talking about power in your Christian walk. You can have the best preacher, the best choir, the most talented musicians, and the best praise team. But, if God is not in the house, it’s a blank screen.
The point is: We need the power of God in our lives. How do you plug into the power of God? Through prayer.
Prayer should be our priority. When we pray, the windows of Heaven open and blessings flow. Plug into the Power today.
