Good evening, brethren. 1. Our evening prayer focuses on "Resting in God’s faithfulness." 2. Do you know the value of the gifts the Shepherd gave Baby Jesus? 3. Do you forsake God's law? To know mire, read the message below: 1. Evening Prayer To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth. God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. ⏤ Psalm 46:1 Prayer is the mighty engine that is to move the missionary work. ⏤ A.B. Simpson We thank You, our Father, for the privilege of trusting You and abiding in Your love. We thank You that in this great world of peril, You are accessible everywhere, that wherever we are, we can find You—and, finding You, be safe. You are a very present help in times of trouble. You are our refuge and our rock, our high tower, our deliverer, and our shield. We are glad that we are Your redeemed children and that You care for us with infinite tenderness. We rejoice in the privilege of having You as our hearts' home. We are Yours, O God, for You have made and redeemed us. We confess ourselves Yours and would consecrate ourselves to You. We have tried to serve You today and to be faithful to You. Where we have failed, may You forgive us. We bring the broken things of our obedience and service now to Your feet—we have nothing but broken things to bring. Accept them in Jesus' precious name, and use them in Your service. We have many interests that are dear to our hearts, on which we would ask Your blessing at the close of the day. Bless our common tasks. It is not easy. Much of it is wearisome—the same rounds day after day. May the very routine do us good, teaching us to be patient and diligent, prompt and energetic, earnest and faithful. May these tasks all be part of the Father's business, and may we do all of them in the name of Jesus, and thus find joy and delight in them. We pray also for all our spiritual interests, the things that concern our souls. Let nothing harm us. May all things work together for good to us. Receive us now to rest in Your care, we ask in Jesus' precious name. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/66/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion. 2. Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. (Matthew 2:10–11) God is not served by human hands as though he needed anything (Acts 17:25). The gifts of the magi are not given by way of assistance or need-meeting. It would dishonor a monarch if foreign visitors came with royal care-packages. Nor are these gifts meant to be bribes. Deuteronomy 10:17 says that God takes no bribe. Well, what then do they mean? How are they worship? Gifts given to wealthy, self-sufficient people are echoes and intensifiers of the giver’s desire to show how wonderful the person is. In a sense, giving gifts to Christ are like fasting — going without something to show that Christ is more valuable than what you are going without. When you give a gift to Christ like this, it’s a way of saying, “The joy that I pursue (notice Matthew 2:10! “When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy”) — the joy that I pursue is not the hope of getting rich by bartering with you or negotiating some payment. I have not come to you for your things, but for yourself. And this desire I now intensify and demonstrate by giving up things, in the hope of enjoying you more, not things. By giving to you what you do not need, and what I might enjoy, I am saying more earnestly and more authentically, ‘You are my treasure, not these things.’” I think that’s what it means to worship God with gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh. Or whatever else we may think of giving to God. May God awaken in us a desire for Christ himself. May we say from the heart, “Lord Jesus, you are the Messiah, the King of Israel. All nations will come and bow down before you. God wields the world to see that you are worshiped. Therefore, whatever opposition I may find, I joyfully ascribe authority and dignity to you, and bring my gifts to say that you alone can satisfy my heart, not holding on to these gifts.” 3.

Daily Bible Study Once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, who then begins a work in our hearts. This change makes us sensitive to the things of God. And as we grow closer to Jesus, we grow in the awareness of God’s law which is written on our hearts. His law of love, humility and justice. Placing others ahead of ourselves. Where we in humility, seek to do what is right because of our love for the Lord. In addition, the Holy Spirit also increases our understanding of God’s word as we study the Bible. In this proverb Solomon is speaking of wisdom and specifically wisdom from God. Though it may require chastening and discipline from the Lord because of our fallen nature, God’s wisdom brings with it immense benefits for a godly life. In these opening verses Solomon is explaining that wisdom is rooted in God first and foremost. And secondly in the sound teaching of God’s word. Moreover, as we walk with the Lord, we discover that God’s laws are designed to bring us a long and more fruitful life. They do so because of the natural and divine benefits they bring into our lives. They also help us to turn our hearts back to God and make us more sensitive to the things of God and His direction in our lives.
