1 Kings 18:1-46; Jeremiah 30:1-24; Hebrews 1:1-14

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16

A once popular preacher dreamed he saw in Heaven rows of beautiful crowns. “Is that big one for me?” he asked as he readily recalled God’s blessing on his preaching. “No,” came the attendant’s reply. “It’s for that poor deaf man who sat in the front row and pled with God for souls as you preached to them.” God still answers the fervent prayers of burdened saints. When next we listen to the preacher, let’s participate in prayer and thus be a co-worker in the Gospel. —Arnot P. McIntee

Oh, give me, Lord, Thy love for souls, for lost and wandering sheep,
That I might see the multitudes, and weep as Thou didst weep. —Eugene M. Harrison
