… they will cry to the Lord, but he will not answer them; he will hide his face from them at that time, because they have made their deeds evil. (Micah 3:4)

Daily reading: 1 Chronicles 29

Some people only pray to God when things get really bad, but when Micah was speaking some were praying daily, never missing. Their problem was their lives didn’t match their requests. They treated one another with disrespect, and only reverenced God in hollow words. When trouble came, they expected God to respond as if nothing were wrong!

Let us fear our Christianity ever becoming like that. Prayer isn’t a substitute for obedience; God loves to hear our prayers if they are joined with lives of humility and righteousness. There is much to pray about, but God seeks to have a relationship with us, not just be a rescue button for us. We must pray for what God wants us to have, not just what will make life easy.
