God treasures the prayers of His saints

Thy prayers . . . are come up for a memorial before God - Acts 10:4

What a beautiful expression the Angel used to Cornelius, Thy prayers are come up for a memorial. It would almost seem as if supplications of years had accumulated before the Throne, and at last the answer broke in blessings on the head of Cornelius, even as the accumulated evaporation of months bursts in floods of rain upon the parched ground. God is represented as treasuring the prayers of His saints in vials; they are described as sweet odors. They are placed like fragrant flowers in the chambers of the king and kept in constant remembrance before Him. Later they are said to be poured out upon the earth; and lo, there are voices, and thunderings and great providential movements fulfilling God's purposes for His kingdom. We are called "the Lord's remembrancers," and are commanded to give Him no rest, day or night, but to crowd the heavens with our petitions. And in due time the answer will come with its accumulated blessings. Not a whisper of true prayer is ever lost. The longer it waits, the larger it becomes.


[ Prayer for the Day ]

Father God, You love your elected very much, that every word spoken to You, You treasure. Every request made unto You, You remember and fulfill. Lord I prayer for your children here who are now receiving your Word that they may know themselves in You and do your purpose here on earth. I ask this in Jesus' Name, Amen.
