Discipleship
Focus: Hexagon
- Hexagon: The hexagon is the symbol that we can use to represent prayer. The hexagon gives us 6 topics that we can remember in prayer, each coming from a petition in the Lord’s prayer: God’s Character, God’s Kingdom, Provision, Forgiveness, Guidance, and Protection.
As we
begin this chapter, we hear about a moment of silence, an offering of incense,
and prayers being offered up to God. We
don’t know the subject of the prayers, but I think it is fair to say that the
prayers would be encompassed in the general categories of the hexagon.
What is
important about this section is to see the cause and effect. The prayers rise before God and there is a
response. A censer is thrown down upon
the earth in judgment. When we pray to
God and lift up our concerns before Him, we do not pray to a dead God or a God
who is incapable of doing something. We
pray to a God who can and does respond to us when we genuinely pray in His
Spirit.
