Kneeling for Prayer
from David Bahn - Reflections Hosted by David Bahn
When Paul leaves Tyre, heading to Jerusalem, the people there kneel on the beach in prayer. Luke was there with them. Note the "we" he uses to describe their action. It seems to me that this was an act of humility, foreshadowing the words of the disciples in Caesarea who say, “Let the will of the Lord be done.” Their prayers were urgent, tearful, seeking comfort from God, and protection and courage for Paul no doubt. They knelt and prayed. What a great example for us today. Humility. Urgency. Sincerity. Faith. These are the inward attributes of one after God's own heart, and they are expressed outwardly in kneeling.
