He breaks the bow and cuts off the spear;
He burns the chariot in the fire.

the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
[3] Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains
shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.
[4] There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God,
the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
[5] God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her,
and that right early.
[6] The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the
earth melted.
[7] The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
[8] Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in
the earth.
[9] He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow,
and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
[10] Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen,
I will be exalted in the earth.
[11] The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.
Psalms 48
A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.
1 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised
in the city of our God, in His holy mountain.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Beautiful in elevation,
the joy of the whole earth,
is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
the city of the great King.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) God is known in her citadels
as a refuge.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For the kings were assembled,
they passed by together.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) They saw it, and so they were astounded;
they were alarmed, they hurried away.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Trembling seized them there,
and pain like a woman in labor;
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) You break the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) As we have heard, so have we seen
in the city of the Lord of Hosts, in the city of our God;
God will establish it forever. Selah
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) We have thought of Your lovingkindness, O God,
in the midst of Your temple.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) According to Your name, O God,
so is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) May Mount Zion rejoice,
may the daughters of Judah be glad, because of Your judgments.
12 Walk about Zion, and go round about her; count her towers;
13 mark well her bulwarks; consider her citadels;
that you may tell it to the generation following.
14 For this God is our God forever and ever;
He will be our guide even to death.
Psalm 48
A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.
[1] Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in
the mountain of his holiness.
[2] Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on
the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
[3] God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
[4] For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
[5] They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted
away.
[6] Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
[7] Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
[8] As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in
the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
[9] We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy
temple.
[10] According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the
earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
[11] Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of
thy judgments.
[12] Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.
[13] Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell
it to the generation following.
[14] For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even
unto death.
Psalms 80
For the Music Director. To the melody of "Lilies of the Testimony."
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
You who lead Joseph like a flock;
You who are enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) In the sight of Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
stir up Your strength,
and come and rescue us.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Restore us again, O God,
and cause Your face to shine,
and we shall be delivered.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) O Lord God of Hosts,
how long will You be angry
against the prayers of Your people?
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You have fed them with the bread of tears
and have given them tears to drink in great measure.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) You make us contention for our neighbors,
and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Restore us again, O God of Hosts,
and cause Your face to shine,
and we shall be delivered.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) You have brought a vine out of Egypt;
You have cast out the nations and planted it.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) You cleared the ground for it;
it took deep root and filled the land.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The mountains were covered with its shadow
and the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) It sent out its branches to the sea
and its shoots to the River.
12 Why have You then broken down its walls,
so that all those who pass by the way pluck its fruit?
13 The boar from the woods ravages it,
and the insects of the field devour it.
14 Return again, O God of Hosts;
look down from heaven, and behold,
have regard for this vine
15 and the root that Your right hand has planted,
and the shoots that You made strong for Yourself.
16 It is burned with fire; it is cut down;
may they perish at the rebuke from Your presence.
17 Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.
18 So we will not turn back from You;
give us life, and we will call upon Your name.
19 Restore us again, O Lord God of Hosts;
cause Your face to shine,
and we shall be delivered.
Psalm 80
[1] Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock;
thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
[2] Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come
and save us.
[3] Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be
saved.
[4] O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of
thy people?
[5] Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to
drink in great measure.
[6] Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among
themselves.
[7] Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall
be saved.
[8] Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen,
and planted it.
[9] Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root,
and it filled the land.
[10] The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof
were like the goodly cedars.
[11] She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
[12] Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass
by the way do pluck her?
[13] The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field
doth devour it.
[14] Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and
behold, and visit this vine;
[15] And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that
thou madest strong for thyself.
[16] It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of
thy countenance.
[17] Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man
whom thou madest strong for thyself.
[18] So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy
name.
[19] Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we
shall be saved.
Psalms 135
Ps 115:4-11
1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord praise Him, O servants of the Lord,
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) you who stand in the house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God!
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
sing praises unto His name, for it is pleasant.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself,
and Israel for His special possession.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For I know that the Lord is great,
and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Whatever the Lord pleases,
He does in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He causes the clouds to ascend from the ends
of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain;
He brings the wind out from His storehouses.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
both of man and animal.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants;
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He struck down great nations and slew mighty kings-
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Sihon, king of the Amorites,
and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan-
12 and gave their land for an inheritance, a possession to Israel His people.
13 Your name, O Lord, endures forever;
and Your renown, O Lord, throughout all generations.
14 For the Lord will defend His people,
and He will have compassion on His servants.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see;
17 they have ears, but do not hear;
neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them are like them; so is everyone who trusts in them.
19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel; bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi; you who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Blessed be the Lord from Zion, who dwells at Jerusalem.
Praise you the Lord!
Psalm 135
[1] Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye
servants of the LORD.
[2] Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of
our God,
[3] Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for
it is pleasant.
[4] For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar
treasure.
[5] For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
[6] Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the
seas, and all deep places.
[7] He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh
lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
[8] Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
[9] Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon
Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
[10] Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
[11] Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms
of Canaan:
[12] And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his
people.
[13] Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD,
throughout all generations.
[14] For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself
concerning his servants.
[15] The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
[16] They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
[17] They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their
mouths.
[18] They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth
in them.
[19] Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:
[20] Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
[21] Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye
the LORD.
2) Our Daily Bread for 27 July 2026 titled
Words That Honour God By Karen Huang
James 1:19-21
Hearing and Doing the Word
19 (Pr 10:19; 14:29) Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift
to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
20 for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.
21 (Eph 1:13; 4:22) Therefore lay aside all filthiness
and remaining wickedness and receive with meekness the engrafted word,
which is able to save your souls.
[19] Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, slow to wrath:
[20] For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
[21] Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and
receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
My friend, Alex, a book editor, checked his inbox, anticipating an angry email
from an author. He'd been working with a prominent business leader on the
client's manuscript for months. Unexpectedly, the publisher had decided to
halt the publication of the book due to company problems. After emailing the
author the bad news, Alex braced himself.
A week later a reply came. "I didn't answer right away because I wanted to
think first about my words and how to respond," the author wrote. He expressed
disappointment, then calmly stated how he thought the publisher could've
handled the issue.
The author's wise, measured response left a deep impression on me. His
behaviour reflected what the Bible says our communication should be like,
especially when we're angry. The apostle James tells us to keep "a tight rein
on [our] tongues" because it's easy to sin with our words
(James 1:26; see 3:5-6). We're to prioritise listening to others so we can
understand them, choose our words, and consider whether it's
necessary to get angry (1:19).
Not only does restraint in speech help us to avoid sin and allow the
Scriptures to change us (v. 21), but it also reflects who God is to others:
"compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love" (Psalm 103:8).
Let's model our loving God with our words - and our silences.
Reflect & Pray
When angered, how can you restrain your communication?
How do your words reflect your faith?
Wise Father, please help me to be quick to listen,
and slow to speak and become angry.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 2 - The key to the Prison Cell
Matt 6:14-15
14 For if you forgive men for their sins, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men for their sins,
neither will your Father forgive your sins.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you: 15 but if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Ann had been badly wounded in a relationship that had ended in anger
and accusation. For more than a year, Ann nursed her bitterness, rallying
support for her attitudes from friends and colleagues. Any time she saw
her former friend, Ann put up an icy wall of hostility. She thought she was
"getting over" the hurt, but the very mention of her friend's name brought
back a flood of negative feelings. Ann was trapped, locked in a prison of
unforgiveness , a jail built block by block by her own unwillingness to
forgive. Ann didn't "get over it"; instead, her wounds festered
and her bitterness grew worse.
Then one day - she never knew how - Ann let go of her bitterness. The barriers
of hostility and anger melted away, and when she saw her friend again, she was
able to forgive. And Ann was finally able to turn to the Lord for her own
healing and forgiveness.
"If you do not forgive," Jesus says - and the statement falls hard on
unforgiving hearts, "Neither will you be forgiven." In one sense, God's
forgiveness is unconditional - we do not have to earn or deserve it, and it is
always available to us. But we cannot experience the forgiveness God has
extended to us when we harbour unforgiveness towards others and build walls
of bitterness in our hearts.
When we refuse forgiveness toward those who have hurt or betrayed us, we do
not keep them in bondage, but ourselves. We lock ourselves away for an
awareness of God's loving presence; we imprison ourselves in a cell of
revenge. But when we reach out to forgive, we turn in the lock;
the door is open for our own sins to be forgiven and our own hearts
cleansed and purified.
Application
a) Why is forgiving others a condition for experiencing forgiveness
in my own life?
b) How can these verses have a practical effect upon my willingness
to forgive others?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Malachi 3:10-12
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in
My house, and test Me now in this, says the Lord of Hosts, if I will not
open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing,
that there will not be room enough to receive it.
11 I will rebuke the devourer
for your sakes, so that it will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
and the vines in your field will not fail to bear fruit,
says the Lord of Hosts.
12 Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be
a delightful land, says the Lord of Hosts.
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in
mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not
open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy
the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit
before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be
a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Worried Over Money
Matt 6:19-21
Treasures in Heaven
Lk 12:33-34
19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth
and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
20 But store up
for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy
and where thieves do not break in nor steal,
21 for where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth
and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth
nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)
Where do Muslims live?
Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers
to our shores. Where do they live? How can we pray for these areas? Use this as
your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.
Data for those population figures is extrapolated for the 2011 National
Household Survey and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have
also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims
self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on
the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total
Canadian population, not provincial
BC - 136493 - 7.5%

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
And
Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.
"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.
Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.
As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.
Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.
I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."
13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
ROMANS 15:13
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

2 Cor 10:4-5
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,

in the city of our God, in His holy mountain.

the joy of the whole earth,
is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north,
the city of the great King.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) God is known in her citadels
as a refuge.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For the kings were assembled,
they passed by together.

they were alarmed, they hurried away.

14 For this God is our God forever and ever;
He will be our guide even to death.
Psalm 48

[1] Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in
the mountain of his holiness.
[2] Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on
the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
[3] God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
[4] For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together.
[5] They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted
away.
[6] Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
[7] Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind.
[8] As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in
the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah.
[9] We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy
temple.

earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

thy judgments.
[12] Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.

unto death.
Psalms 80
For the Music Director. To the melody of "Lilies of the Testimony."
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
You who lead Joseph like a flock;
You who are enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) In the sight of Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
stir up Your strength,
and come and rescue us.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Restore us again, O God,
and cause Your face to shine,
and we shall be delivered.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) O Lord God of Hosts,
how long will You be angry
against the prayers of Your people?
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You have fed them with the bread of tears
and have given them tears to drink in great measure.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) You make us contention for our neighbors,
and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Restore us again, O God of Hosts,
and cause Your face to shine,
and we shall be delivered.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) You have brought a vine out of Egypt;
You have cast out the nations and planted it.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) You cleared the ground for it;
it took deep root and filled the land.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The mountains were covered with its shadow
and the mighty cedars with its branches.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) It sent out its branches to the sea
and its shoots to the River.
12 Why have You then broken down its walls,
so that all those who pass by the way pluck its fruit?
13 The boar from the woods ravages it,
and the insects of the field devour it.
14 Return again, O God of Hosts;
look down from heaven, and behold,
have regard for this vine
15 and the root that Your right hand has planted,
and the shoots that You made strong for Yourself.
16 It is burned with fire; it is cut down;
may they perish at the rebuke from Your presence.
17 Let Your hand be upon the man of Your right hand,
the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.
18 So we will not turn back from You;
give us life, and we will call upon Your name.
19 Restore us again, O Lord God of Hosts;
cause Your face to shine,
and we shall be delivered.
Psalm 80
[1] Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock;
thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
[2] Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come
and save us.
[3] Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be
saved.
[4] O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of
thy people?
[5] Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to
drink in great measure.
[6] Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among
themselves.
[7] Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall
be saved.
[8] Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen,
and planted it.
[9] Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root,
and it filled the land.
[10] The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof
were like the goodly cedars.
[11] She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
[12] Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass
by the way do pluck her?
[13] The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field
doth devour it.
[14] Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and
behold, and visit this vine;
[15] And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that
thou madest strong for thyself.
[16] It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of
thy countenance.
[17] Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man
whom thou madest strong for thyself.
[18] So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy
name.
[19] Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we
shall be saved.
Psalms 135
Ps 115:4-11
1 Praise the Lord!
Praise the name of the Lord praise Him, O servants of the Lord,
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) you who stand in the house of the Lord,
in the courts of the house of our God!
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;
sing praises unto His name, for it is pleasant.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself,
and Israel for His special possession.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For I know that the Lord is great,
and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Whatever the Lord pleases,
He does in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He causes the clouds to ascend from the ends
of the earth; He makes lightning for the rain;
He brings the wind out from His storehouses.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
both of man and animal.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He sent signs and wonders into your midst, O Egypt,
against Pharaoh and all his servants;
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He struck down great nations and slew mighty kings-
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Sihon, king of the Amorites,
and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan-
12 and gave their land for an inheritance, a possession to Israel His people.
13 Your name, O Lord, endures forever;
and Your renown, O Lord, throughout all generations.
14 For the Lord will defend His people,
and He will have compassion on His servants.
15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
16 They have mouths, but do not speak; they have eyes, but do not see;
17 they have ears, but do not hear;
neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Those who make them are like them; so is everyone who trusts in them.
19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel; bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi; you who fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Blessed be the Lord from Zion, who dwells at Jerusalem.
Praise you the Lord!
Psalm 135
[1] Praise ye the LORD. Praise ye the name of the LORD; praise him, O ye
servants of the LORD.
[2] Ye that stand in the house of the LORD, in the courts of the house of
our God,
[3] Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for
it is pleasant.
[4] For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar
treasure.
[5] For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
[6] Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the
seas, and all deep places.
[7] He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh
lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
[8] Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.
[9] Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon
Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
[10] Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;
[11] Sihon king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms
of Canaan:
[12] And gave their land for an heritage, an heritage unto Israel his
people.
[13] Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD,
throughout all generations.
[14] For the LORD will judge his people, and he will repent himself
concerning his servants.
[15] The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.
[16] They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not;
[17] They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their
mouths.
[18] They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth
in them.
[19] Bless the LORD, O house of Israel: bless the LORD, O house of Aaron:
[20] Bless the LORD, O house of Levi: ye that fear the LORD, bless the LORD.
[21] Blessed be the LORD out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye
the LORD.
2) Our Daily Bread for 27 July 2026 titled
Words That Honour God By Karen Huang
James 1:19-21
Hearing and Doing the Word
19 (Pr 10:19; 14:29) Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift
to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger,
20 for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.
21 (Eph 1:13; 4:22) Therefore lay aside all filthiness
and remaining wickedness and receive with meekness the engrafted word,
which is able to save your souls.
[19] Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to
speak, slow to wrath:
[20] For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
[21] Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and
receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
My friend, Alex, a book editor, checked his inbox, anticipating an angry email
from an author. He'd been working with a prominent business leader on the
client's manuscript for months. Unexpectedly, the publisher had decided to
halt the publication of the book due to company problems. After emailing the
author the bad news, Alex braced himself.
A week later a reply came. "I didn't answer right away because I wanted to
think first about my words and how to respond," the author wrote. He expressed
disappointment, then calmly stated how he thought the publisher could've
handled the issue.
The author's wise, measured response left a deep impression on me. His
behaviour reflected what the Bible says our communication should be like,
especially when we're angry. The apostle James tells us to keep "a tight rein
on [our] tongues" because it's easy to sin with our words
(James 1:26; see 3:5-6). We're to prioritise listening to others so we can
understand them, choose our words, and consider whether it's
necessary to get angry (1:19).
Not only does restraint in speech help us to avoid sin and allow the
Scriptures to change us (v. 21), but it also reflects who God is to others:
"compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love" (Psalm 103:8).
Let's model our loving God with our words - and our silences.
Reflect & Pray
When angered, how can you restrain your communication?
How do your words reflect your faith?
Wise Father, please help me to be quick to listen,
and slow to speak and become angry.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 2 - The key to the Prison Cell
Matt 6:14-15
14 For if you forgive men for their sins, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men for their sins,
neither will your Father forgive your sins.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you: 15 but if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Ann had been badly wounded in a relationship that had ended in anger
and accusation. For more than a year, Ann nursed her bitterness, rallying
support for her attitudes from friends and colleagues. Any time she saw
her former friend, Ann put up an icy wall of hostility. She thought she was
"getting over" the hurt, but the very mention of her friend's name brought
back a flood of negative feelings. Ann was trapped, locked in a prison of
unforgiveness , a jail built block by block by her own unwillingness to
forgive. Ann didn't "get over it"; instead, her wounds festered
and her bitterness grew worse.
Then one day - she never knew how - Ann let go of her bitterness. The barriers
of hostility and anger melted away, and when she saw her friend again, she was
able to forgive. And Ann was finally able to turn to the Lord for her own
healing and forgiveness.
"If you do not forgive," Jesus says - and the statement falls hard on
unforgiving hearts, "Neither will you be forgiven." In one sense, God's
forgiveness is unconditional - we do not have to earn or deserve it, and it is
always available to us. But we cannot experience the forgiveness God has
extended to us when we harbour unforgiveness towards others and build walls
of bitterness in our hearts.
When we refuse forgiveness toward those who have hurt or betrayed us, we do
not keep them in bondage, but ourselves. We lock ourselves away for an
awareness of God's loving presence; we imprison ourselves in a cell of
revenge. But when we reach out to forgive, we turn in the lock;
the door is open for our own sins to be forgiven and our own hearts
cleansed and purified.
Application
a) Why is forgiving others a condition for experiencing forgiveness
in my own life?
b) How can these verses have a practical effect upon my willingness
to forgive others?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Malachi 3:10-12
10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in
My house, and test Me now in this, says the Lord of Hosts, if I will not
open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing,
that there will not be room enough to receive it.
11 I will rebuke the devourer
for your sakes, so that it will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
and the vines in your field will not fail to bear fruit,
says the Lord of Hosts.
12 Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be
a delightful land, says the Lord of Hosts.
10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in
mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not
open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive it.
11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy
the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit
before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be
a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Worried Over Money
Matt 6:19-21
Treasures in Heaven
Lk 12:33-34
19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth
and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
20 But store up
for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroy
and where thieves do not break in nor steal,
21 for where your treasure is,
there will your heart be also.
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth
and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth
nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Where do Muslims live?
Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers
to our shores. Where do they live? How can we pray for these areas? Use this as
your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.
Data for those population figures is extrapolated for the 2011 National
Household Survey and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have
also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims
self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on
the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total
Canadian population, not provincial

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
And
Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.
"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.
Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.
As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and
confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.
Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.
I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.
God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through
the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."
13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
