1st Meditation on The Lord's Prayer -- God's Glory

By Joseph Pikul

Introduction to The Lord’s Prayer. To me, the Lord’s Prayer is the most important. If I could only have one, that would be it. It is by far the one I cling to the most. I understand that this is my personal opinion. Yet, it's a belief I've held close throughout my life that has come to my aid time and again. As we take a deeper dive into the Lord's Prayer, it is apparent that it isn't just any prayer. It's more like a code of faith. Almost as if it were a magic instrument for spiritual growth. Some consider the Lord’s prayer a summary of the good news Jesus taught. The Lord’s prayer is full of powers that help us. Think about the meanings of every phrase because each one is put there for a reason. Repeating and declaring the Lord’s prayer with emotion energizes us. It grounds us. It revitalizes us.

It's all about building that inner strength to power. Preparing for a race with proper training can lead to some major rewards.

A daddy-daughter date What a joy it is when a man plans a special dinner with his daughter, only to hear she has a little surprise up her sleeve! The suspense passes in and out of his mind for days as he wonders what could it be? He spots the Bible tagging along as a guest as they head to their go-to pizza joint. A grin spreads across his face because he feels this night will be unforgettable! This is the setting for the story of me having dinner with Vivien and her telling me she wanted to discuss Matthew Chapter 13. This chapter of Matthew is both inspiring and practical. I find it inspiring since Jesus teaches on so many levels. It is also practical since the word of God can be turned into practical advice for all who hear it. It never gets old.   Mathew 13 Matthew tells of Jesus addressing the crowd from a boat as they stand on the shore. He speaks in a parable of the Kingdom of Heaven. He speaks of a Sower of seeds. He elaborates that enemies may sow weeds into ...
