Topic: Face God


Highlights:
“Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. Isaiah 1:18


People love to face each other when talking heart to heart. But when talking to God, they tend to face their problems. Somehow it's like someone facing the other way, telling God, see this problem and that problem is why I'm calling you.
People have been giving God responsibilities to carry but did not really give God due attention. "Come now", is a word that cannot be negotiated. It shows who the boss is and the specific action to take....


"Does the LORD take delight in thousands of rams,
In ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I present my firstborn for my rebellious acts,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
He has told you, O man, what is good;
And what does the LORD require of you
But to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:7-8


It is somehow a sin to God when you face other sides talking to the heavenly father. It makes one garment to be very red as scarlet. But God wants you to face him humbly to receive instructions.
If you already have what you wish to do in your mind and point God to the direction of how you want it done for you in your way, then who is then the boss? God is no one's servant. We are supposed to humbly listen attentively and follow instructions from our Heavenly Father. If you call God your father, then it's time to obey him and retouch your ways with due attention to what the authority dictates. I pray may we not take God's friendliness for granted.


Prayer: Father please forgive me for taking you for granted in any way. May I not take your friendliness for granted in my life. May I humble myself towards you and respect you all the days of my life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

There’s something ironic about a devotional call believers to talk to God in a more deeply personal level and then giving them a canned prayer to read. How many people talk to their Dad by reading out a piece someone else wrote?

While I seem to agree with you on this, it's important to know what God wants? And address him like you are facing each other as Father to Son, Master to Servant, CF Psalm 123:3. To face God and to calmly allow His will be done in every situation.

Beware lest you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.’ Deuteronomy 8:17

It's like not allowing God to pass before you make a move. CF Psalm 46:10

Like any Father. I doubt He wants words read to him from a paper that someone else wrote.

It's true. God wants a heart to heart talk with him. Hebrews 4:16 tells us:

"Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

Unless "If" reading the words out from paper is for those who do not know how to pray. But must not be compulsory way of praying

I think two real words are more meaningful than a beautiful paragraph read.
