Good morning everyone. The bible asks the question; “Whom will I send, who will go for me, to the ends of the earth, who will rise up for their King?” Here am I, send me. The question today is this your desire also?

Today’s Prayer

Father, There is no greater love than Your agape love. Oh, how we break Your heart when we neglect to talk with You and spend time with You every day. Please forgive us. We do not want to hurt You. We want to love You and lift up Your name and make You proud that we are Your children. We want to grow up to be all that You hope for us, all that You have planned for us, and to become more and more spiritually mature. God, we lay down our selfish desires and ways. Take them, and turn them into selfless desires and godly ways. Thank You for loving us so much, for always being there, for sending Jesus to save us, and for filling us with Your Holy Spirit to give us power for living. Bless You, Father. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

Let’s eat.

Psalm 10

 1 O LORD, why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide when I need you the most?

2 Proud and wicked people viciously oppress the poor. Let them be caught in the evil they plan for others.

3 For they brag about their evil desires; they praise the greedy and curse the LORD.

4 These wicked people are too proud to seek God. They seem to think that God is dead.

5 Yet they succeed in everything they do. They do not see your punishment awaiting them. They pour scorn on all their enemies.

6 They say to themselves, “Nothing bad will ever happen to us! We will be free of trouble forever!”

7 Their mouths are full of cursing, lies, and threats. Trouble and evil are on the tips of their tongues.

8 They lurk in dark alleys, murdering the innocent who pass by. They are always searching for some helpless victim.

9 Like lions they crouch silently, waiting to pounce on the helpless. Like hunters they capture their victims and drag them away in nets.

10 The helpless are overwhelmed and collapse; they fall beneath the strength of the wicked.

11 The wicked say to themselves, “God isn’t watching! He will never notice!”

12 Arise, O LORD! Punish the wicked, O God! Do not forget the helpless!

13 Why do the wicked get away with cursing God? How can they think, “God will never call us to account”?

14 But you do see the trouble and grief they cause. You take note of it and punish them. The helpless put their trust in you. You are the defender of orphans.

15 Break the arms of these wicked, evil people! Go after them until the last one is destroyed!

16 The LORD is king forever and ever! Let those who worship other gods be swept from the land.

17 LORD, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will listen to their cries and comfort them.

18 You will bring justice to the orphans and the oppressed, so people can no longer terrify them.

Quote of the Day

God has brought us into this time; He, and not ourselves or some dark demon. If we are not fit to cope with that which He has prepared for us, we would have been utterly unfit for any condition that we imagine for ourselves. We are to live and wrestle in this time, and in no other. Let us humbly, tremblingly, manfully look at it, and we shall not wish that the sun could go back its ten degrees, or that we could go back with it. If easy times are departed, it is that the difficult times may make us more in earnest; that they may teach us not to depend on ourselves. If easy belief is impossible, it is that we may learn what belief is, and in whom it is to be placed.
