Praising and Asking
October 6, 2016
The highest heavens . . . cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built!
2 Chronicles 6:18
Teen Challenge, a ministry to at-risk youth that started in New York City, was born from an unusual commitment to prayer. Its founder, David Wilkerson, sold his television set and spent his TV-watching time (two hours each night) praying. In the months that followed, he not only gained clarity about his new endeavor but he also learned about the balance between praising God and asking Him for help.
King Solomons temple dedication prayer shows this balance. Solomon began by highlighting Gods holiness and faithfulness. Then he gave God credit for the success of the project and emphasized Gods greatness, declaring, The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How much less this temple I have built! (2 Chron. 6:18).
After exalting God, Solomon asked Him to pay special attention to everything that happened inside the temple. He asked God to show mercy to the Israelites and to provide for them when they confessed their sin.
Immediately after Solomons prayer, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple (7:1). This incredible response reminds us that the mighty One we praise and speak to when we pray is the same One who listens to and cares about our requests.
How would you describe your conversations with God? What might help you grow closer to Him as you pray?

Prayer helps us see things as God sees them.

Good thing I’m not on the Georgia coast anymore. I’d be right in the path of this thing.

Indeed.
I have emailed all my FL friends that are on my list, I have gotten back a few , thanking me for my thoughts and prayers.
I went through the Heinous Hurricane Season of 2005, and know the experience first hand.
Watching the weather channel now...

Yes...I am doing much better, but eschewed yet one more pub night tonight to make sure I don’t have a relapse.
There is a new place that just opened up nearby with a great stage and beautiful sound system. I want to be at my best, so won’t go if I still have a cold.

Good evening, Publius...thanks for Rachmaninov’s “The Star Spangled Banner”.
Bet you are glad you are in Washington and not Georgia.

True. Right now, I’d be heading to the mountains of northwest Georgia or northeast Alabama.
