Take A Knee
Football season has begun and I’m sure that anyone who has any interest in the game has heard the phrase “take a knee.” No, I’m not referring to or even beginning a discussion about the National Anthem. I’m actually talking about the quarterback kneeling to keep from losing possession of the ball when the game is at stake.
What about you, have you taken a knee lately? This is kind of a tough question, isn’t it? I consider myself a prayerful person, but looking back over recent days, I can’t say that I have taken a knee lately. Today in church, as we discussed a verse in Nehemiah, it really struck home with me. Am I reverent enough? Do I fall on the ground and worship? Yes, there are times that my needs are so great that I am on my knees, but not the way they fell to the ground on their faces and WORSHIPPED! They prayed for hours, spent hours on their knees truly worshipping God.
Are you in the same place? Are you giving enough time to the Lord, truly worshipping and giving thanks to the Lord? When is the last time you “took a knee” for the Lord? In today’s world it is hard to find the time to give to the Lord, isn’t it? We let life get in the way and never take the time to kneel. Reading through the Bible is very humbling. To see the difference between their prayer and fasting and our fast prayer brings our lives in perspective!
