Day 2 | Pray While Sitting

Today’s Scripture:

Today’s Scripture: “Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?” 2 Samuel 7:18

 

Full Scripture Reading: 2 Samuel 7:18-29


Today’s Thought: 

 

A seated prayer position typically demonstrates seeking guidance, counsel or instruction from the Lord. Sometimes we read how one would use a seated position to simply be alone, find calm, peace, quiet, and just bask in the presence of God. Jesus often went to be alone with His Father and pray.

 

The book of 2 Samuel continues to show us the virtue of humility, the destructiveness of pride, and the faithfulness of God's promise. Specifically in 2 Samuel 7:18-29, we see King David sit before the Lord offering to build a house for the Lord. When you sit before the Lord in prayer, what do you offer the Lord?  Much like King David, other times we read how one would sit to pray and let God know they were ready and willing to serve God and walk in obedience. Have you ever said to the Lord, “Here I am, send me”.

 

Perhaps it is time. Are you ready? Are you willing? Let us sit and surrender our will. Let us sit and ask for guidance.
