TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"...Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered"
1 Peter 3:7
TODAY'S WORD:
Did you know that the way you treat people has an impact on the effectiveness of your prayers? The Bible says that the prayer of the righteous person is powerful, but if we aren't treating others with honor, kindness and respect, then we aren't allowing His righteousness to operate in us. When we don't treat others the way we should, it closes the door to God's power and hinders our prayers. Isn't this information we need to know, that our actions could truly effect God's answer to our prayer needs.
This is especially true in a marriage relationship. Marriage isn't just an agreement between two people to live life together. Marriage is a God-ordained institution that helps us understand love and unity. When two people are married, they become one physically, spiritually and emotionally. This particular passage is directed toward husbands, but it applies to all believers as well. We should always treat others "with understanding," which means considering their needs above our own. We should always aim to treat others with kindness, dignity, and respect and quickly choose forgiveness.
Selah people' and friends today, choose love. Choose to treat others with respect. Let righteousness flow through you and open the door for His power in every area of your life!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father, thank You for another day to worship You and become more like You. I submit my heart, mind, will and emotions to You. I choose to treat others with love and respect which shows that I honor You. Have Your way in me and teach me to prayer effectively for Your glory, in Jesus' name. Amen."
