“Pray for Who?”

“Pray for Who?”

But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Fa- ther in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike. Mat- thew 5:44-45

God’s Word is powerful! Just reading it brings encouragement that we are able to do all things that He has promised to help us do. The scripture says that His Word is as powerful as a two- edged sword. If that is the case then why do we choose not to use His Word in our daily life. He tells us to love our enemies- we say that is impossible. We forget that we were enemies of God before we accepted Him in our lives. When all we de- served was death He loved us, protected us, and died for us. We did not deserve what He did for us in the past nor what He is doing for us right now yet He loves us. So when I love my ene- my I am imitating my Father. I should have no ill feelings when I see others get blessed because I don’t think they deserve it. God is the decision maker when it comes to what happens day in and day out-not me. How can I think more highly of myself than I ought to when God’s Word teaches me very differently? Today I recognize that if it had not been for the Lord on my side where would I be surely not walking on the path that He has ordained for my life.
