  "After thirty years of walking with Christ, I don't believe I fully understand all that Christ suffered for me or what it means for Him to do that, but I find myself more determined than ever to try to embrace the cross that Christ embraced for me.  Join me in the journey of seeking Him, considering Him, worshiping Him --of walking with Him along The Path of His Passion.  I believe it will be worth it, for we will see Him -- and that is all that matters." ~ Bill Crowder                                                                          Father God, I pray this morning as I join Bill Crower in his devotional The...

 Revelation 4:8  "Day and night they never stop saying "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." The passion of devotion lies in prayer.  The spirit of devotion fills the hearts of God's children and characterizes their worship.  The inspiration and center of their joyful devotion is the holiness of God.  That holiness of God claims their attention and inflames their devotion. There is nothing cold, nothing dull, nothing lifeless about them or their heavenly worship.  What zeal!  The ministry of prayer, if it be anythinbg worthy of the name, is a ministry of passion, a ministry of tense longing after God and His holiness. Father God, I long to be in Your presence, singing praises with a spirit of passion and devotion to You.  I love You,  Amen ~The Power of Prayer by E.M. Bounds
