Do you stand in awe of the Lord and kneel before Him? An attitude of worship and reverence – holding God in the highest regard – should cause you to bow in prayer, whether physically or as a matter of the heart. Paul’s requests for the Ephesians, which apply to you as well, involve a deepening of the relationship of the believer with God the Father. According to commentator Dr. Warren Wiersbe, yielding to the Holy Spirit and letting Him control your inner man will bring a more intimate experience between you and Christ.

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father.

Ephesians 3:14

Feeding on the Bible will cause your spiritual roots to go deeper for nourishment and stability so you will be grounded in your faith. The foundation on which you build your life and understand your purpose will be strong and sure. You will be able to comprehend the words of Scripture, grasp its meaning, and apply it to your life. Christ working in you will make your heart full with thanksgiving and reverence.

Mature in your faith by consuming the Word of God. Intercede for this nation’s leaders to come to faith in Jesus. Ask for all Americans to ultimately know the holy joy of bowing in awe before the Lord.
