The sleek sports car in front of me had a novel personalized license plate: PRYNFST.
As a Christian, I immediately took this as an exhortation to pray and fast. After all, Jesus told His disciples this was a source of great spiritual power (Mark 9:29).
Ultimately, I think the Corvette driver meant he was “praying fast,” since he drives such a quick car. 😉
Yet, my back-and-forth struggles with stress eating, and other substitutes for fellowship with the Holy Spirit, convinced me my first interpretation was a Post-it note from God.
For the Lord gives wisdom and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:6 (NIV)
Did you catch that? True wisdom is a gift of God. But the verses preceding this one clearly state we must search for it like hidden treasure. The Lord doesn’t pass out His wisdom to just anyone.
Remember how the Apostle Paul said he went into strict spiritual training to win a crown that will last forever?
But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.
1 Corinthians 9:27 (NKJV)
Sounds more like Pray and Fast , than Praying Fast.
Seneca, the Roman Stoic philosopher, was right, “No man was ever wise by chance.”
Kind reader, the treasures of God aren’t found through mere happenstance. Today, and everyday, may we seek Him with all our heart, mind, and strength, for such diligence He richly rewards (Hebrews 11:6).
Thank you for reading. 🙏❤️ prayers and love.
