*Clapping while praying ? Daily Dose* 4 July

By Eddy Joel Silsbee

 

All praise and honor be to the name of the Holy God who cares us.

 

When we arise in the morning,

While going to bed,

While starting a job,

While start to drive a vehicle,

We pray in whisper to God silently and sometime only in our heart.

 

As we don't want to risk it and wanted everything goes well.

 

Have you ever thought how can those all silent prayers were heard?

 

When we gather with others; We raise our voices a little and pray for everyone to hear ....

 

But why shout so loud that the building itself vibrates?

 

Do not be like them; Matthew writes God knows what you need before you can pray. Mt. 6:8 !!

 

God is in us.

Living in the heart.

It is God who listens to our little voice.

He also knows your whisper. Jer 17:10

 

In order our prayer be heard in his ears :

You do not need to

-Bang a bell,

-Blast a cracker,

-clap your hands and pray so your prayers should take precedence,

-Pray along with music,

-pray in melody etc

*There is no such instruction in Bible* !!

 

What answer would you get if you ask anything while clapping your hands to your own daddy or your company manager or owner? Will they not chase you out ???

 

When an ordinary man on earth thinks that those who ask for a thing before him should pay respect, can we be in disrespect before Almighty God?

 

He will surely hear us if you pray with calmness, devotion, fear, reverence, patience and wholeheartedness.

 

God will respond to us according to His will. Matthew 6: 6
