In my last post I wrote about 4 Critical Steps to Effectively Prepare for Vacation Bible School. The steps each pertained to prayer preparation and can be applied to any ministry we do. It points to the value we place on prayer and the need for heart preparation.
God Himself puts a lot of value on heart preparation. Consider how He used John the Baptist to prepare the way for Jesus.
Without heart preparation, we can easily become like the Israelites of old. Psalm 78:8, in the NASB, refers to them as “a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not prepare its heart and whose spirit was not faithful to God. “ The KJV words it “a generation that set not their heart aright.”
I don’t want to be like that and I don’t want that for those to whom and with whom I serve. Because I value heart preparation, I will pray. How about you?
