Job 1:5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, it may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
As an example of Job’s God-fearing character and faithful response to God in his life, the writer tells how Job would rise up early every morning to pray for his children. He prayed that God would forgive them if they sinned. He made offerings for them daily.
A Godly father prays for his children and succeeding generations on a regular basis, early in the morning. Instead of a sacrifice, we plead the blood of Jesus Christ for our family, praying in Jesus’ name, trusting in His once-for-all sacrifice. Parents intercede for their children and grandchildren, asking God’s forgiveness, life, and blessing because of Christ. This is what a God-fearing father or mother does for his or her family and those they love.
We may never see all the good prayer does in our short lifetime, but in eternity we will see what great good things the Lord has done for those for whom we have prayed. Daily morning prayer is a part of our lifestyle.
