A practice almost forgotten...

A practice almost forgotten: kneeling before the Lord our God in reverence! It sure is not a must to always kneel down n pray but it's a privilege to do so whenever we can.

 Jesus knelt down n prayed,His disciples. Paul, Ezra, 

Daniel and so many others knelt down before God. 

Luke 22: 39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his disciples followed him. 40 On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” 41 He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt dowand prayed,

Acts 20:36 When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of them and prayed.

2 Chronicles 7:3 When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they knelt on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “He is good; his love endures forever.”

Acts 9:40 Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.

Holy is our God! Even Angels bow before Him!

 From "The Kneeling Christian, Quote>David Livingstone was a great champion of Victorian Imperialism. ... Livingstone was found dead by his servants, knelt in prayer by his bedside. He used to everyday kneeling down by his bed side. 

His servants who found him dead beside the bed, still kneeling, cut his heart from his body and buried it there on the spot. They then carried his body to the coast to British authorities to be carried to England for burial. 

For over 1,000 miles, they fought their way through hostile tribes with that body, never allowing it to touch the ground, so  much they reverenced their master.

Every knee will bow before our God one day, we sure can start practicing it today when we have strength in our knees.

Be Blessed,

Today's thought
How often do we kneel before The Great I AM...?

The saint who advances on his knees never retreats.
