Well, what can we say about last night's Super Bowl and the Chiefs? I usually post the 40-Days of Prayer at 08:00, oops...
I
remember in the 80's when Joe Montana played for the Chiefs because
they wanted the success of a winning team like the 49ers. We could not
put the magic together with Montana, nor have the 49ers since.
Wednesday in KC will be a beautiful day to celebrate the win with the parade. Yet, Wednesday, Feb. 14th, is Valentine's Day.
The
Church is the Bride of Christ, and as Christians, we need to remember
our Valentine every day, our first love, who laid down His life for us.
I
truly love Spurgeon's words about our love affair with Jesus. He
reminds us of our intertwined life with the Lord and how his grace has
been there through every event in our lives. My Prayer for myself and
for you, beloved, is that "our hearts burn within us, and we long to
love Him more.
Day 36 - February 12 – The Love of the Lord
(Charles H. Spurgeon)
Believer, look back through all thine experience and think of the way whereby the Lord thy God has led thee in the wilderness, and how He hath fed and clothed thee every day — how He hath borne with thine ill manners — how He hath put up with all thy murmurings, and all thy longings after the flesh-pots of Egypt — how He has opened the rock to supply thee, and fed thee with manna that came down from heaven. Think of how His grace has been sufficient for thee in all thy troubles — how His blood has been a pardon to thee in all thy sins — how His rod and His staff have comforted thee. Does not this make thee love Jesus? Doth not a flight through illimitable plains of the ether of love inflame thy heart and compel thee to delight thyself in the Lord thy God? Surely, as we meditate on “the love of the Lord,” our hearts burn within us, and we long to love Him more.
