“A traveler in China visited a heathen temple on a great feast day. Many were the worshippers of the hideous idol enclosed in a sacred shrine. The visitor noticed that most of the devotees brought with them small pieces of paper on which prayers had been written or printed. These they would wrap up in little balls of stiff mud and fling at the idol. He enquired the reason for this strange proceeding and was told that if the mud ball stuck fast to the idol, then the prayer would assuredly be answered; but if the mud fell off, the prayer was rejected by the god. We may smile at this peculiar way of testing the adequacy of a prayer.

Yet prayer is the key which unlocks the door of God’s treasure house.”

Let us place ourselves, as it were, in the presence of God and direct our prayer to the King of kings, and Lord of lords; the only one who has immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto, … to whom be honour and power everlasting (1 Tim. 6:15-16). Let us then give Him adoration and praise because of His exceedingly great glory. Consecration is not enough; there must be adoration. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of the hosts; cry the seraphim; the whole earth is full of his glory (Isa. 6:3). Glory to God in the highest, cries the whole multitude of the heavenly host (Luke 2:13-14). Yet some of us try to commune with God without stopping to take off [our] shoes from [our] feet (Ex. 3:5).”
