Prayer and Fasting 2016 Day 2 - A people who know God's ways

Day 2 - A people who know God's ways

Psalm 81:11-16  God utters His heart's cry for His people so that He can bless and protect them: "Oh that people would listen to me and walk in my ways!"

The ways of God are more than his will or commands. They are the “paths” that God Himself travels consistently that stem from His nature, character and glory. They consist of His values, priorities and practices. They are the sum total of what we call “good” and “perfect” and ‘holy”. They form the culture of heaven.

More scriptures to ponder and pray through:
