Take a knee
May 25, 2021
One of our most vulnerable positions is on bended knee. You can be easily be pushed, shoved, or flattened. Through Scripture, to be on ones knee was to show deference to the one you bow before. In prayer, that is our Lord.
When humans bow before kings they might be rewarded or slaughtered.
Bowing before God is a place of great safety. God embraces us there. He hears. he notices our bended knee. What prayers does He always answer?
Thy will be done. Give me the mind of Christ in this circumstance.
The mother of James and John took a knee before Jesus and asked a ‘mother sounding’ favor. For her sons to rule with him. Not granted. God sees beyond our bended knee. He sees our heart.
