not an afterthought

not an afterthought

I was very convicted as I looked over this paragraph today.

I’m thankful that our elders spent time in prayer early this morning.

Prayer is so very important.

May it never be an afterthought here at RBC!

Here is a convicting thought written to Pastors about prayer…

It is the sin of reversing the rhythms. Instead of working in a world in which God calls everything into being with his word and redeems his people with an outstretched arm, we rearrange it as a world in which we preach the mighty word of God and in afterthought ask him to bless our speaking; a world in which we stretch out our mighty arms to help the oppressed and open our hands to assist the needy and desperately petition God to take care of those we miss. – Peterson
