(CLICK THE TITLE) Good morning everyone. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. I went to the solace of the Psalms today for our meal. Enjoy every morsel.
Today’s prayer
Father, You are great and powerful. Show us the way, give us the insight, help us to know what to do and say to reach the lost around us. We pray for wisdom, for boldness, for the words to say, for understanding of their cultures, their situations, and their needs. Please give us the means and the knowledge to influence their minds, stir their emotions, engage their spirits, that Your Holy Spirit might prick their consciences and move upon them that they will call upon You to save their souls. Please examine our lives and show us any unclean thing that we may repent and ask Your forgiveness. We don’t want anything to stand in the way of Your working through us to make a difference in the lives of the lost and dying. We don’t want to quench the Holy Spirit. Instead, we want to be clean and willing vessels, ready for Your use; ready for the “God appointments” You send our way. Please have mercy Lord. May we be fresh in mind and spirit this day. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
Psalm 83
O God, don’t sit idly by, silent and inactive! Don’t you hear the tumult of your enemies? Don’t you see what your arrogant enemies are doing? They devise crafty schemes against your people, laying plans against your precious ones. “Come,” they say, “let us wipe out Israel as a nation. We will destroy the very memory of its existence.” This was their unanimous decision. They signed a treaty as allies against you– these Edomites and Ishmaelites, Moabites and Hagrites, Gebalites, Ammonites, and Amalekites, and people from Philistia and Tyre. Assyria has joined them, too, and is allied with the descendants of Lot. Do to them as you did to the Midianites or as you did to Sisera and Jabin at the Kishon River. They were destroyed at Endor, and their decaying corpses fertilized the soil. Let their mighty nobles die as Oreb and Zeeb did. Let all their princes die like Zebah and Zalmunna, for they said, “Let us seize for our own use these pasturelands of God!” O my God, blow them away like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind! As a fire roars through a forest and as a flame sets mountains ablaze, chase them with your fierce storms; terrify them with your tempests. Utterly disgrace them until they submit to your name, O LORD. Let them be ashamed and terrified forever. Make them failures in everything they do, until they learn that you alone are called the LORD, that you alone are the Most High, supreme over all the earth.
Quote of the Day
Wherever you are, be all there. Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.
