As I encourage us as mothers to be always in prayer, the image of a watchman comes to mind. Like a watchman, you stand at your post
scanning the horizon for the enemy so that you are able to sound the alarm at
the first glimpse of him.
Luke 21: 36: Watch ye therefore,
and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things
that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
If being a watchman was your secular job and the boss came and found you sleeping, more than likely you would be fired. You would be seen as compromising the safety of those who you are supposed to be guarding. So it is in your spiritual watch- we cannot allow ourselves even to close our eyes for a second, doze off or to fall asleep, because the enemy is sitting waiting for the opportune time to pounce.In addition to praying
for your children, I would like you to also pray for their friends, companions
and associates. Sooner or later we start
to look, sound and behave like the people we hang out with. As you pray for them this week, please
include the words found in Phil. 4: 8. Please insert their name (s) where
appropriate in the verse.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever
things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of
good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on
these things.
Upcoming:
1
Mothers take a State for Prayer: For the month of November I will ask that you choose a state and pray for the
children in that State. We will
culminate this at our December meeting.
2.
Mothers take a Nation for Prayer: We will each choose a nation or country and pray
for the children in the country for the month of December and we will culminate
this at our January Meeting.
In His Service,
Vilma
