- Ask all creation around you to praise the Lord this month.
- Ask the hills and valleys, the rivers and streams, the mountains, the rocks, fruitful trees, cedars, the sun moon and stars, to ignore all instruction given to them that is contrary to God’s original ordination and purpose for them this season (Psalm 148).
- Ask the heavens to declare the glory of God alone in this season.
- Pray that as many as will see the heavens display His splendour, they will praise the Lord who created these things, rather than worship the heavenly bodies. (Ps 19:1-2, Deut 4:19).
Dec 4
- It is not without reason that some of the greatest of men were trained from their youth to choose some definite objects in life, to which they were required to direct their thoughts and devote all their energies. It became, therefore a sole and ruling purpose of their hearts, and was almost certainly the means of their future advancement and happiness in the world. A wise man said that “It is appalling to note that 95% of humanity walks around drifting aimlessly through life” after he had completed a 20-year research. He says that these 95% had no idea of the work they are best fitted and have no idea of such an ideal of a definite objective to live for!
- It is written “For as he thinketh in his heart so is he”-a man acts in harmony with the dominating thoughts of his or her mind? Any definite chief aim that is deliberately fixed in the mind and held there, with the determination to realize it, finally saturates the entire heart until it will influence the outward actions of the person towards attainment.
