The sermon on Sunday ended with, what I thought, was a very powerful illustration concerning prayer. I will do my best to capture as accurate as possible the essence of what it was.
Many of us have a special box or place for meaningful notes, treasures, cards, or encouragements that we have received over the years. We save them because they mean a great deal to us and we desire to remember and recapture those feelings in the future.
Revelation 5:8 talks about John's vision of the throne room of the King, and refers to "golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints." These golden bowls are like God's special keepsake boxes. Our prayers do not annoy or pester him- they are precious words from His children that touch His heart.
