October Surprise October Fourth, 2023 - A Call to Humility.

Happy October Surprise!

As we continue in "A Call to Prayer" by J.C. Ryle, we will hear him call us to humility when we come to God.

Pastor Ryle says:

"Suffer me then, as a companion in the Christian warfare, to offer you a few words of exhortation. One thing, at least, we all feel: we must pray. We cannot give it up. We must go on.

I commend then to your attention, the importance of reverence and humility in prayer. Let us never forget what we are, and what a solemn thing it is to speak with God."

Thank you, Jesus. When I think of coming into the presence of God, I often think of talking to my dad. He was a great dad, and while I could speak to him about anything, I can assure you that I did not talk to him like I talked to my peers.

In our exercise today, we listened to Jesus, Richard Alleine, and Samual Rutherford speak the following words and imagine the tone of voice they spoke with.

Mathew 6:9-13

"Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. 10 'Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. 11 'Give us this day our daily bread. 12 'And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 'And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,"

Richard Alleine

"Lord, let me sit down to eat with you, and I will never complain about the menu. If I have a portion from your table, however much it is, just let me hear your voice saying, "I am yours, and with me are all things." I will be content with your allowance.

Richard Alleine

Samuel Rutherford.

In a word, I am a fool, and He is God. I will hold my peace hereafter.

Samuel Rutherford.

Oh Lord, may the humble hear this and rejoice. Amen.

"What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."
