'God's Generous Covenant Response.'
Genesis 15:17-18.
a) Abram made a big sacrifice to God.
b) In the darkest night,
c) A cooking pot and a flaming fire
d) Went between the two sacrificed halves of each animal.
e) At that time the Lord made an agreement with Abram.
f) God told Abram that He would give his descendants the land on the East of the Shihor River, on the border of Egypt,
g) As far as the Euphrates River.
(This QT reveals to me God's Generous Covenant Response)
PRAYER: To Believe the Promises that God may give to us.

'Compassion Motivates Prayer.'
Matthew 9:36-38
a) When Jesus saw the crowds, He had Compassion for them.
b) They were harassed,
c) They were helpless,
d) Like sheep without a shepherd.
e) Jesus then said to His Disciples that the Harvest was plentiful but the labourers were few.
f) The Disciples were to Pray to the Lord of the Harvest,
g) That He would send out the labourers into His Harvest.
(This Second one reminds me that Compassion Motivates Prayer)
PRAYER: To the Lord of the Harvest, to send out labourers into His Harvest, and for our willingness to go if He sends us.

Chris.
Sometimes, God may give us a place to inherit that we never ever imagined, it has not been our 'Prayer Project', we have had no previous thought, or deep Prayer about going to such a place, but it has been hidden in God's Plan for our lives, awaiting His Perfect Timing. When that Timing comes, we will clearly know it from God.
