Bowls of Prayers
“When He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints.”
Revelation 5:8 HCSB
http://bible.com/72/rev.5.8.hcsbWith my crazy imagination I like to think of this bowl of prayers as a bowl of holy holy’s. Praises to Our Awesome God. The devotion I read says that our prayers are stored and answered at the right moment. Since I’m not a bible scholar I can’t prove my opinion, but I’m under the impression God doesn’t store our prayers, He answers them. And it may be a crazy myth I’ve heard over the years, but I thought sometimes our prayers are held up in a spiritual war. But then again, that confuses me because God is God and knows our prayers before we ask. So now that everything is clear as mud…I go back to the bowls being filled with the praises and Holy Holy’s from the saints to our Awesome Holy Father!!! This would be a great subject to study!
May all your prayers be lifted up to our Holy Heavenly Father with praise and faith! No matter what or when the answer is!
