๐ฏ"When the Church tries to embody the rule of God in the forms of earthly power it may achieve that power, but it is no longer a sign of the kingdom."
~ Lesslie Newbigin #church#kingdom
Is the church simply a byproduct of its culture? Is our only choice in the here-and-now a right/left paradigm until Jesus returns? I believe that scripture paints a different picture for the church that breaks from the slavery of the systems that now control us. Starting in July:
When will I pray?
First thing in the morning?
After my workout?
At night?
On my lunch break?
When the kids are napping?
Many people find first thing in the morning to be best, but not always. As a general rule, give God your best time of day, when you are most awake and aware.
Pray some Psalms
To begin your day with God: Ps 5, 19, 20, 23, 25
When you are sad: Ps 13, 22, 42, 77
When you are in distress: Ps 57, 60, 86
When you are scared: Ps 27
When you are hurt: Ps 10
When you ache for more of God: Ps 63, 84 โข When you want to repent: Ps 51
