Have We Prayed?

Today's verse is 1 Timothy 2:4

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 

    There is much to be said from this verse, but today I focus on its context, along with reading “For our soul is bowed down to the dust:/ Our belly cleaveth unto the earth./ Arise for our help,/ And redeem us for thy mercies’ sake.” It can be said of today, that is, this point in history, that we as followers of Christ have failed to do as he has commanded, yet God is not surprised, for has he not even foretold us that such troubling times should come. Nevertheless, still, God would that all men be saved, and we find this statement after an admonition to pray for all men. Last week, the United States voted, and the result of that vote, by whatever means, showed how the lies of this world where accepted, and the truth of God was rejected. So, let us, as followers of Jesus Christ as commanded here in this context humble ourselves and pray, and see if God will through us, or some other means, see these others come to the knowledge of the truth. Amen.

To God be the Glory
