This brief discussion of the ending of the Lord's prayer brings the reasons why prayer should focus unto the effect of his sovereign rule, towards his honouring power, and for the exhibiting of his excelency.
This is a fabulous sermon which brought insight into a subject which I had not known about before. Often we overlook books like Leviticus however there are great truths to be found which bring blessing and understanding to our faith today. Thank you!
It is characteristic of Satan to get us consumed with fulfilling our desires in the here and now, no matter what the cost, with no thought for the Lord's glory and sin's consequences. This sermon reminded me of two Proverbs: "Bread of deceit is sweet to a man; but afterwards his mouth shall be filled with gravel" (21:17) and "An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed" (21:21). It's the afterwards and the end about which Satan always wants us to forget.
