First Priority
George
Mueller, a Christian evangelist, devoted his life to the care of over 10,000
orphans.
He built several homes and established 117 schools, yet he never went intodebt. How did he do this? He relied on God and prayed first for all of the needs of
his ministry. On one occasion, 300 children were ready for their day, but there was
no food for breakfast. Mr. Mueller had the children sit at the table to pray. As they
finished, a baker knocked at the door and provided bread. Then a milkman whose
cart had broken down knocked and provided fresh milk because it was going to spoil.
Mueller was a true example of praying
first to have a successful ministry.

We will devote ourselves to prayer and to
the ministry of the word.
Acts 6:4
|
In
today’s scripture, the apostles committed to make
prayer their first priority. They knew nothing they attempted would be successful without dependence
upon God.
As you work towards whatever ministry you are called to, don’t do it in your own strength. Pray first so the power of God might be manifested in your actions. Then intercede for the nation’s leaders to genuinely commit themselves to prayer as they lead the country.
Recommended Reading: I Timothy 2:1-8 As you work towards whatever ministry you are called to, don’t do it in your own strength. Pray first so the power of God might be manifested in your actions. Then intercede for the nation’s leaders to genuinely commit themselves to prayer as they lead the country.

GOP Senators Introduce ObamaCare Alternative
President Obama’s
repeated claim that Republicans do not have a health care plan has never been
true, and Monday three Republican Senators challenged Obama again, this time by
offering their own new proposal. Even as Palestinians and Israelis strive for an elusive peace deal to end their generations-old conflict, the two sides are preparing for failure.
Representative Trey Radel (Florida) plans to step down from Congress on Monday after being arrested on a cocaine-possession charge at a Washington-area restaurant last year, a spokesman in his office said.

2 For kings, and for all that
are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness
and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
