Yet sometimes, after praying repeatedly, nothing seems to change.  Why?  One important answer is discipline .  D iscipline does not replace prayer; discipline helps us live out what we pray for .  Prayer is essential to the Christian life, but prayer must be followed by obedience, action, consistency, and self-control.

Image
" And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:"  Exodus 17:15  In the vast tapestry of biblical narratives, there are moments when the divine presence becomes palpable, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of believers. One such moment unfolds in the book of Exodus, where Moses, after a triumphant victory over the Amalekites, erects an altar and names it "Jehovah Nissi." This profound act is captured in Exodus 17:15, which reads, "And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi."  Unraveling the Meaning:  The significance of this biblical event extends beyond a mere memorialization of victory. "Jehovah Nissi" translates to "The Lord Our Banner" in English, symbolizing God's role as the guiding force and protector of His people.
