A Daily Devotional About calling upon God… Romans 10:12 …--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him…(NIV) Outward appearances can sometimes be deceiving. We are deceived because we think the rich and beautiful are somehow spiritually rich and have inner beauty. We are also deceived when we see the poor who may not be beautiful. We think the poor are poor in spirit and have no inner beauty. We are deceived when we see people who suffer and believe they have no spiritual riches. Clearly, receiving the rich blessings of God requires something from us. God requires from us a calling upon His name. This calling upon God is not easy for many people. The calling upon God is not a matter of holding out your hand to God and saying, "Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee" like a three-year old child. Calling upon God requires we make direct connection to Him, to His love, to His compassion, and to His caring. When we make the connection and we are in His presence, our hands are not held out seeking our own wants and needs. When we are in His presence, our hands our folded together in prayerful gratitude. From this prayerful gratitude will flow great blessings. |
