1Ti 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1Ti 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Ti 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
All supplications...
All prayers...
All intercessions...
All giving of thanks…
…for ALL men.
Kings.
All in authority… PRAY for them.
God would have ALL men to be saved.
God would have ALL men come to the knowledge of the truth.
We are to pray for others that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. Isn't this what we are to desire? Seriously. To lead a QUIET and PEACEABLE life- in all GODLINESS and HONESTY.
Some might abhor the thought of leading a quiet life preferring to lead unpredictable and loud lives. We all know how teenagers are viewed, how young people are looked upon as those who generally have wild oats to sow, a recklessness to get out of their systems. Yet more and more people want this wildness in their lives, they've become addicted to things that excite the senses. Do they want peace? Often times they make it a habit to create a bit of havoc just to feel that strange excitement they have come to crave- knowingly, unknowingly, peace and quiet is something they have come to shun.
Yet, we need quiet and peace as much as we need godliness and honesty. The closer we come to God the more peace we feel. The closer we come to God, honesty becomes more of a reality in all parts of our lives.
All supplications...
All prayers...
All intercessions...
All giving of thanks…
…for ALL men.
Kings.
All in authority… PRAY for them.
We need to pray for ALL men, not be prejudice in our prayers. We cannot pick and choose who we think we should pray for and who we shouldn't. If GOD would have all SAVED, how can we think differently?
By His grace may we pray as HE would have us pray, may we find HIS peace, HIS quiet, HIS honesty.
Please LORD, be our all in all. IN YOUR LOVE!
