Join Us in Prayer for
our Nation, our Leaders and Topics of Concern for the week of 3/18/16 – 3/24/16
Pit Stop
In
2006, Mark Batterson published the book In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day.
The book’s title is taken from an obscure passage in the Bible (II Samuel
23:20-21) where Benaiah, considered one of David’s mighty men, chases a lion
into a pit and kills him. The theme of Batterson’s book is that perhaps your
biggest problem, failure or fear is really your greatest opportunity.
They flung me alive into the pit and cast
stones on me.
Lamentations 3:53
|
In
today’s verse, the writer says he’s been hunted and thrown into a pit by his
enemies. Although he felt all was lost, he still called on the name of the
Lord. He was allowed that privilege, as every child of God is, because the Lord
is faithful.
Perhaps you feel “in the pits” today. Whether you are there accidentally, as a consequence of your own actions, or because you charged into it head first, God knows you are there. Call to Him in prayer. Though all may seem hopeless, God can use your worst circumstances for His greatest glory. Pray also for His great faithfulness to be known to the nation’s citizens and leaders.
