May 27 (Wednesday) -- Access to the Father

One…two…your sin will haunt you:2 Samuel 12:1-31

Jesus tells of His death & resurrection: John 16:1-33

You hands made me and formed me: Psalm 119:65-80

The Lord works out everything for his own ends: Proverbs 16:4-5


2nd Samuel 12: 11 was fulfilled just like the Lord told David. David’s sons Absalom and Adonijah tried to usurp the throne from David. Absalom did it for a while. Adonijah did it mainly when David was up in age. Even though David was a man after God’s own heart, he let sin mess up part of his life.

That’s the bad news.

The good news is that when we pray God the Father hears us directly. In John 16:26-27, Jesus said that when we pray He doesn’t have to ask God on our behalf because God loves us! Check that out – we have access to the One who created everything & is the source of all blessings! We don’t have to pay a preacher to pray for us. We don’t have to hire an attorney to be our advocate. We simply pray in the name of Jesus & God will hear us because He loves us.

Life of sin  bad news

Life of prayer  access to the Father
