Key Points
- General revelation is the glory of God revealed through nature as described in the first part of Psalm 19, and it is available to all humankind.
- God’s instructions are good and meant to guide us in the way we should go.
- It is not easy for us to perceive unintentional sins, but we ought to repent of them when they are brought to our attention rather than get defensive about them.
- Being acquitted of our wrongdoing is to be found innocent and requires no change in us. Being cleansed of all unrighteousness leads us to change and become more like Christ.
- Words have power. Words in prayer have the most power.
- Practicing simple prayers through the many moments of the day helps to align the thoughts of our hearts and our words with God’s Word.
- Our actions are guided by our words and our words are an outpouring of what is in our heart.
- Breath prayer: breathe in a name of God and breathe out a request or praise.
- Speaking God’s name is the simplest of prayers.
