First Steps – December 14, 2020

“I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ…” (Colossians 2:1-3 NIV).

There are two Greek words which make up the italics: Helikos (Great) and Agon (Contest or Conflict). The picture is that of an athletic contest which is strenuous and demanding. This same word, Agon, was often used to describe the place of assembly for the Olympic Games. In the Colossians’ text, the struggle isn’t with God but describes the intense effort and inward struggle of the one praying as he/she earnestly desires a preferred outcome that is uncertain.

Perhaps this is the best explanation for Intercessory Prayer. This type of prayer is where one stands in the gap for another. The person praying is so moved and burdened for another person and for that situation to change to a preferred outcome. The soul of the prayer is in such turmoil for change that the prayer expenses all of his or her resources the same way an athlete strives to win the contest. The outcome of the race might not lead to victory but win or lose, the athlete leaves it all on the field. There is nothing left in the tank when the contest is over.

How blessed one is to have someone pray in this manner. Greater still is the one who is willing to embrace this level of conflict for the soul of another.

This Week’s Readings:

Monday – 2 Corinthians 6
Tuesday – 2 Corinthians 7
Wednesday – 2 Corinthians 8
Thursday – 2 Corinthians 9
Friday – 2 Corinthians 10

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done.” – Philippians 4:6

First Steps – December 7, 2020

It is Advent—Christmas time! I love this time of year. The decorations, the music, the smell of the Christmas tree, the many gatherings, and the merriment are my favorites. In a year of pandemic (2020), it is easy to forget what normal feels like. Perhaps things are a little muted this year especially because of the limits due to the Covid virus. However, I think this current situation creates the right environment for one to really understand what many felt in the 1st Century. Things were bleak, a world full of oppression and despair, and there was a deep longing for change. They longed for deliverance. They longed for the promised Messiah, the anointed savior.

Think of the lyrics of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here,
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

As you prepare for Christmas, use your current situation to embrace a greater understanding of the coming Christ. Just because there are limits to the normal doesn’t mean we can’t benefit from them. From longing and despair can come great rejoicing and praise.

This Week’s Readings:

Monday – 2 Corinthians 1
Tuesday – 2 Corinthians 2
Wednesday – 2 Corinthians 3
Thursday – 2 Corinthians 4
Friday – 2 Corinthians 5

Please Pray for:

Families in crisis.
Friends and family members battling illness.
Those seeking to find their way.
The St. Paul Church family and our ministries.
The United Methodist Church family.
Our leaders, our country, and our world.

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done.” – Philippians 4:6
