Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 2 - Growing Up



2 Tim 3:16-17



16 (Ro 15:4) All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable

for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction

in righteousness,

17 (1Ti 6:11; 2Ti 2:21) that the man of God may be complete,

thoroughly equipped for every good work.



16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable

for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction

in righteousness:

17 that the man of God may be perfect,

throughly furnished unto all good works.



"I can't wait till I get big!" Marc, age 5, declared. "Then I do

what I want!" Most of us, as children, shared Marc's statement.

We looked forward to that "magic age" - 16, 18, 21 - when we

would be adults: mature, able to make our own decisions.

We find, of course, that adulthood has its own share of

difficulties and conflicts. But even in our spiritual lives

we often long for a "magic moment" of maturity. As one woman

confessed, "Ever since I became a Christian, I've hoped I'd wake up

one morning to find myself mature."

But growth in the spiritual life comes gradually, like growth in

the physical world. In 2 Tim 2:16-17, Paul gives the young pastor

Timothy an important key to spiritual growing up - the Word of God.

The Word is "profitable" or "useful," Paul says, for "teaching" - that is,

for developing a right concept of God. Scripture offers "rebuke" when

we go wrong, "correction" to set us on the right path, and "training

in righteousness" so that we can grow in the image of Christ.

The purpose of Scripture's work in our lives, Paul emphasises,

is that we may be "perfect" - mature, equipped for the good things

God has for us to do. Such maturity does not come easily

or instantaneously, but it does come - sometimes imperceptibly -

as we submit our lives to the transforming power of God's Word.

4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Deut 8:18



18 But you must remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you

the ability to get wealth, so that He may establish His covenant which

He swore to your fathers, as it is today.



18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee

power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto

thy fathers, as it is this day.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are lonely



PSALMS 25:15-21



15 My eyes are ever toward the Lord,

for He will lead my feet from the net.

16 Turn to me, and be gracious to me,

for I am isolated and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;

bring me out of my distresses.

18 Look on my pain and misery,

and forgive all my sins.

19 Consider my enemies, for they are many,

and they hate me with violent hatred.

20 Watch over my life, and deliver me!

Let me not suffer shame,

for I seek refuge in You.

21 Truth and integrity will preserve me

while I wait for You.



15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD;

For he shall pluck my feet out of the net.

16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me;

For I am desolate and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged:

O bring thou me out of my distresses.

18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain;

And forgive all my sins.

19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many;

And they hate me with cruel hatred.

20 O keep my soul, and deliver me:

Let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.

21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me;

For I wait on thee.



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?)



Manitoba



Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba



Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000



est Muslim Population 21 349



CNMM Networks: Winnipeg



The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.



Let us intercede in unity for:



- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support



Adding further



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!



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, ...) .

1 CHRONICLES 9





[3] And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of

Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh;

[4] Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of

Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of Judah.

[5] And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.

[6] And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and

ninety.

[7] And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of

Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah,

[8] And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of

Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephathiah, the son of Reuel, the son of

Ibnijah;

[9] And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and

fifty and six. All these men were chief of the fathers in the house of their

fathers.

[10] And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,

[11] And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok,

the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God;

[12] And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of

Malchijah,

and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam,

the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;

[13] And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and

seven hundred and threescore; very able men for the work of the service of

the house of God.

[14] And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam,

the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;

[15] And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the

son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;

[16] And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun,

and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages

of the Netophathites.

[17] And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and

their brethren: Shallum was the chief;

[18] Who hitherto waited in the king's gate eastward: they were porters in

the companies of the children of Levi.

[19] And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and

his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work

of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers,

being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of the entry.

[20] And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past,

and the Lord was with him.

[21] And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the

tabernacle of the congregation.

[22] All these which were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred

and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom

David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their set office.

[23] So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house

of the Lord, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by wards.

[24] In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and

south.

[25] And their brethren, which were in their villages, were to come after

seven days from time to time with them.

[26] For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in their set office,

and were over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.

[27] And they lodged round about the house of God, because the charge was

upon them, and the opening thereof every morning pertained to them.

[28] And certain of them had the charge of the ministering vessels, that

they should bring them in and out by tale.

[29] Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the

instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil,

and the frankincense, and the spices.

[30] And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.

[31] And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum

the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the

pans.

[32] And other of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over

the shewbread, to prepare it every sabbath.

[33] And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who

remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work

day and night.

[34] These chief fathers of the Levites were chief throughout their

generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.



41 (1Ch 8:35) The sons of Micah were Pithon, Melek, Tahrea, and Ahaz.

42 (1Ch 8:36) Ahaz became the father of Jarah,

and Jarah the father of Alemeth, Azmaveth, and Zimri.

Zimri became the father of Moza,

43 (1Ch 8:37) and Moza became the father of Binea, Rephaiah his son,

Eleasah his son, and Azel his son.

44 Azel had six sons, and these were their names:

Azrikam, Bokeru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan.

These were the sons of Azel.



[41] And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz.

[42] And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri;

and Zimri begat Moza;

[43] And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his

son.

[44] And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and

Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel.



1 CHRONICLES 10



The Death of Saul

1Sa 31:1-13; 2Sa 1:4-12



1 (1Sa 31:1-13; 1Ch 10:8) Now when the Philistines fought against Israel,

every Israelite fighter fled before the Philistines, and the slain fell

on Mount Gilboa.

2 But the Philistines pursued Saul and his sons and struck down Saul's sons

Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malki-Shua.

3 As the battle with Saul became heavy, the archers' bows found their target

and mortally wounded him.

4 (1Sa 31:4) So Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and pierce me

through lest these uncircumcised Philistines come and make a fool of me."

But his armor bearer was unwilling to do it because he was overwhelmed

with fear, so Saul took the sword and fell on it himself.

5 When the armor bearer saw that Saul was dead,

he too fell on his sword and died.

6 Thus, Saul and his three sons, namely all his house, died together.

7 Now when all the children of Israel in the valley saw that they had fled

the battlefield, and Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned their cities

and escaped, leaving the Philistines to come and dwell in them.

8 The next day, when the Philistines came to pillage the slain,

they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

9 So they stripped Saul, removed his head and his armor,

and circulated the news of his demise throughout the land of the Philistines

to their idols as well as the people.

10 Then they placed his armor in the temple of their gods, while his head

they impaled in the house of Dagon.

11 Now all Jabesh Gilead heard about everything the Philistines did to Saul,

12 so their valiant men rose up and carried the body of Saul and the bodies

of his sons to Jabesh. They buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh

and fasted, mourning seven days.

13 (Lev 19:31; 20:6) So Saul died because of his unfaithful

deeds against the Lord,

because of his failure to keep the word of the Lord, and because he sought

to consult a spirit of divination

14 (1Sa 15:28; 13:14) but did not seek the Lord. So He killed him and turned

the kingdom over to David the son of Jesse.



[1] Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled

from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.

[2] And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and

the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of

Saul.

[3] And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he

was wounded of the archers.

[4] Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me

through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his

armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and

fell upon it.

[5] And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on

the sword, and died.

[6] So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.

[7] And when all the men of Israel that were in the valley saw that they

fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities,

and fled: and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

[8] And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip

the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount Gilboa.

[9] And when they had stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and

sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto

their idols, and to the people.

[10] And they put his armour in the house of their gods, and fastened his

head in the temple of Dagon.

[11] And when all Jabesh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to

Saul,

[12] They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and

the bodies of his sons, and brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones

under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

[13] So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the

LORD,

even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking

counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to inquire of it;

[14] And inquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the

kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

Jeremiah 18:1-6



The Potter and the Clay



1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:

2 (Jer 19:1-2) "Arise and go down to the potter's house,

and there I will cause you to hear My words."

3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and there he was making

something on the wheel.

4 Yet the vessel that he made of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter;

so he made it again into another vessel,

as seemed good to the potter to make it.

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

6 (Isa 64:8; 45:9) O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?

says the Lord. As the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand,

O house of Israel.



Jeremiah 18

[1] The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

[2] Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause

thee to hear my words.

[3] Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work

on the wheels.

[4] And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the

potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to

make it.

[5] Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

[6] O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD.

Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O

house of Israel.



Not much is known about Adelaide Pollard, and that's sort of the point. She

was a humble servant of God who wanted no recognition for herself. At the age

of 40, she felt a strong calling to be a missionary to Africa, but that door

was closed to her, leaving her greatly discouraged. Yet Adelaide was reminded

of a verse: "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand"

(Jeremiah 18:6). Later, she penned a hymn with these lyrics:

"Thou art the potter, I am the clay."



The image in Jeremiah has much to speak into our lives today:

"The pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter

formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him" (18:4). This is

a picture of how God reshapes us into His better purpose. Whatever we think

we should do and be, God may have another shape for our lives:

"Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand" (v. 6).



Eventually Adelaide did go to Africa, but it may be that God's shape for her

life had more to do with other things - perhaps writing that hymn, "Have Thine

Own Way," which has inspired millions in the years since. When we feel "on

hold" in what we want to do, we might think about how God is shaping us in the

meantime. We do well to let God have His own way and wait,

"yielded and still," for His greater purpose.



Reflect & Pray



How do you feel discouraged in your life goals today?

How might you let God have His way with your life?



Dear God, please help me yield myself to Your potter's hand.



Learn about God’s invitation into wholeness.

in their cities were children of Israel, priests, Levites, and temple servants.



[2] Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their

cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.



A Post-Exilic Genealogy



Ne 11:3-19



3 (Ne 11:1) Some of the sons of Judah dwelt in Jerusalem alongside

some of the sons of Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh:

4 (Ge 46:12; Nu 26:20) Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri,

the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the sons of Perez the son of Judah;

5 of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons;

6of the sons of Zerah: Jeuel and their brothers, six hundred and ninety.

8 Ibneiah the son of Jeroham; Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Mikri;

Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;

the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;

16 Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun;

Berekiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah,

who lived in the villages of the Netophathites.

17 Now the gatekeepers were Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman,

and their brothers (Shallum was the head officer

18 (Eze 46:1-2) who until then had served at the king's eastern gate).

They were the gatekeepers for the camps of the Levites.

19 Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah,

and his brothers from his father's house, the Korahites,

were over the work of the service, gatekeepers of the tabernacle.

Their fathers had been over the camp of the Lord, guards at the entrance.

at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

22 (1Sa 9:9) All those chosen as gatekeepers were two hundred and twelve.

They were registered by their genealogy in their villages. Now David

and Samuel the seer established them in their trusted offices.

23 So they and their sons were in charge of the gates of the house

of the Lord, that is, the house of the tabernacle, as guards.

25 (2Ki 11:5; 2Ch 23:8) Their brothers in their villages were to come

for seven days from time to time to serve with them.

26 For in their trusted offices the four main gatekeepers who were

Levites had charge over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.

27 They spent the night around the house of God, for the watch

was entrusted to them, and they were responsible for opening it every morning.

28 Some of them were in charge of the vessels of service, that they should

bring them in and out by number.

29 (1Ch 23:29) Some others were appointed over the furnishings

and all the implements of the sanctuary as well as the fine flour, the wine,

the oil, the frankincense, and the spices.

of the spices.

31 (1Ch 9:19; 9:22) Mattithiah, one of the Levites (he was the firstborn of

Shallum the Korahite), was entrusted with making the flat cakes.

32 (Lev 24:5-8) Others of the sons of the Kohathites and from their brothers

were given charge over the showbread to prepare it every Sabbath.

33 (1Ch 6:31-33; 25:1-31) Now these are the singers, heads of the fathers'

houses of the Levites, who stayed in the temple chambers, free from

other service, because they were occupied with the work day and night.

34 These were the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites according

to their generations, leaders, who dwelt in Jerusalem.

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Ps 37:25-26



25 I have been young, and now am old;

yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,

nor their offspring begging bread.

26 The righteous are gracious and lend,

and their offspring are a source of blessing.



25 I have been young, and now am old;

Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken,

nor his seed begging bread.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are ill or injured



Matthew 8:14-17



The Healing of Many People



Mk 1:29-34; Lk 4:38-41



14 When Jesus entered Peter's house, He saw his wife's mother,

lying sick with a fever.

15 He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she rose and served them.

16 When the evening came, they brought to Him many

who were possessed with demons.

And He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all who were sick,

17 to fulfill what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet,

"He Himself took our infirmities

and bore our sicknesses."



[14] And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother

laid, and sick of a fever.

[15] And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and

ministered unto them.

[16] When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed

with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that

were sick:

[17] That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet,

saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.



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?)



Manitoba



Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba



Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000



est Muslim Population 21 349



CNMM Networks: Winnipeg



The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.



Let us intercede in unity for:



- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support



Adding further



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!





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, ...) .

Psalm 92

[1] It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises

unto thy name, O most High:

[2] To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness

every night,

[3] Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp

with a solemn sound.

[4] For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in

the works of thy hands.

[5] O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

[6] A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

[7] When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of

iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

[8] But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.

[9] For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish;

all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

[10] But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be

anointed with fresh oil.

[11] Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall

hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

[12] The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a

cedar in Lebanon.

[13] Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the

courts of our God.

[14] They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and

flourishing;

[15] To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no

unrighteousness in him.

Restoration Efforts by Kirsten Holmberg



Ezra 2:68



68 As some of the heads of households came to the house of the Lord

in Jerusalem, they volunteered to erect the foundations for the house of God.



[68] And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of

the LORD which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set

it up in his place:



Ezra 3:1



1 (Lev 23:24) When the seventh month had come, the children of Israel

had resettled in their cities, and the people gathered themselves together,

as one man, to Jerusalem.





[1] And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in

the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.



Ezra 3:3-7



3 (Nu 28:2-8; Ezr 4:4) They set the altar upon its foundations and,

because they were living in fear of some of the peoples of the region,

they offered burnt offerings on it to the Lord-morning and evening.

4 (Ex 23:16; Nu 29:12-38) They also kept the Feast of Tabernacles,

as it had been written, and offered the daily burnt offerings

in accordance with the daily schedule, according to each day's custom.

5 (Nu 29:39) Thereafter, observance of the burnt offering became a perpetual

sacrifice with regard to the New Moon sacrifices and all of the appointed

feasts of the Lord that had been consecrated, and all of the voluntary

freewill offerings to the Lord.

6 From the first day of the seventh month

they had begun to offer burnt offerings unto the Lord,

but the foundation of the temple of the Lord was not yet laid.



[3] And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of

the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto

the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.

[4] They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered

the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of

every day required;

[5] And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new

moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of

every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the LORD.

[6] From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt

offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was

not yet laid.



7 (1Ki 5:6; Ac 9:36) They gave money to the masons and carpenters,

and food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and to the people of Tyre

so that they would bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, at Joppa,

according to the grant they had from Cyrus king of Persia.



[7] They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat,

and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar

trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had

of Cyrus king of Persia.



1 Thessalonians 5:11



11 (Eph 4:29; Heb 10:25) So comfort yourselves together,

and edify one another, just as you are doing.



[11] Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as

also ye do.



In April 2019, a fire broke out in Notre-Dame de Paris - the city's famed

medieval cathedral - destroying the spire and a "forest" of oak beams

supporting the lead roof. Almost immediately, plans formed to restore the

cathedral. Donations poured in from across the globe, and craftsmen have

undertaken restoration using the same building techniques and the same types

of timber and stone employed in the original structure.



When Nebuchadnezzar instructed his armies to set fire to God's temple

in 586 B.C. as part of his siege on Jerusalem, the structure was decimated

(2 Kings 25:9). When the people returned to Jerusalem after decades

in captivity in Babylon, they "gave freewill offerings toward

the rebuilding of the house of God" (Ezra 2:68).



After tending first to the altar, they "gave money to the masons

and carpenters" and secured "cedar logs by sea from Lebanon" to lay the

temple's foundation (3:7). Though their rebuilding efforts were opposed

and even sabotaged, the task was finally completed, and God's people once

again worshiped Him in His temple (6:14-22).



As believers in Jesus, we - together - are God's temple

(1 Corinthians 3:16-17). God equips us to continuously restore fellow

believers and "build each other up," not with wood or stone, but with

encouraging words, prayer, and spiritual gifts (1 Thessalonians 5:11).



Reflect & Pray



How are you building up fellow believers in Jesus?

How has someone built you up recently?



Thank You, loving Father, for supplying what I

need to build up and restore others as Your temple.





The words we speak can encourage or discourage, so we need

to choose our words wisely.

Week 1 Knowing God's Word Day 1 - God's Perspective



Philippians 4:13



13 (2Co 12:9-10; Eph 3:16) I can do all things because

of Christ who strengthens me.



13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.



Many of us live out self-fulfilling prophecies. We believe

what we tell ourselves - or what we have been told by others:

"You're stupid", "You're ugly", "You'll never amount to anything,"

"You can't do anything right."

We programme ourselves for spiritual failure as well.

"I just can't memorise Scripture," we say. "It comes and goes,

and I can't seem to get it to stay." Yet daily we memorise

volumes of information that is less significant than the

Scriptures - telephone numbers, identification codes,

songs lyrics, advertising jingles.

The answer to the dilemma of negativism is not positive

thinking, but right thinking - biblical thinking, according

to what the Bible reveals of God's perspective. God says,

"You are worthwhile. You are valued. You are loved. I created you

just as you are, and whatever I call you to do,

I will give you the strength to do it.

The context of Phillipians 4:13 shows that Paul had learned

this important secret of spiritual strength. Paul had known

poverty and plenty, trouble and victory. But he also knew

he did not have to let circumstances determine his response to God's will.

We need not be controlled by the negative messages life throws in our paths

- even those self-defeating pronouncements we make to ourselves.

Rather, we can respond according to God's perspective, with the

conviction that God has given us strength we need to meet the

challenges we face.



Application



a) What challenges do I face that make me realise my own insufficiencies?

IS memorising Scripture one of those challenges for me?



b) How does today's memory verse help me face those challenges?

Day 116, 26 April 2026



Today at Calvary Community Church

, Pastor Nathan Zieber spoke on Living in Community.



1 Peter 4:7-9



7 (1Pe 1:13; Lk 21:36) The end of all things is near.

Therefore be solemn and sober so you can pray.

8 (Pr 10:12; Jas 5:20) Above all things, have unfailing love for one another,

because love covers a multitude of sins.

9 (Php 2:14; 1Ti 3:2) Show hospitality to one another without complaining.



[7] But the end of all things is at hand:

be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

[8] And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves:

for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

[9] Use hospitality one to another without grudging.

PSALMS 81



For the Music Director. According to The Gittith. A Psalm of Asaph.



1 Sing aloud unto God our strength;

make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Lift up a melody, and sound the tambourine,

the pleasant lyre with the harp.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Blow the trumpet at the New Moon,

at the full moon on our feast day.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For this is a statute for Israel,

a decree of the God of Jacob.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) This He ordained in Joseph as a decree

when He went out against the land of Egypt.

I heard a voice that I had not known:

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) "I removed his shoulder from the burden;

his hands were released from holding the basket.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) You called in trouble, and I delivered you;

I answered you in the secret place of thunder;

I tested you at the waters of Meribah. Selah

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Hear, O My people, and I will testify against you.

O Israel, if you would listen to me!

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) There shall be no strange god among you;

neither shall you bow down to any strange god.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) I am the Lord your God,

who brought you out of the land of Egypt;

open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) "But My people would not listen to My voice;

Israel would not submit to Me.

12 So I gave them up to their stubborn hearts,

to walk in their own counsels.

13 "Oh, that My people would listen to Me,

and Israel would follow in My ways!

14 I would soon subdue their enemies,

and turn My hand against their adversaries.

15 Let those who hate the Lord cower before Him

and their fate might last forever.

16 But I would feed them with the finest of wheat,

and with honey out of the rock I would satisfy you."



Psalm 81

[1] Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of

Jacob.

[2] Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the

psaltery.

[3] Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our

solemn feast day.

[4] For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.

[5] This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the

land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

[6] I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from

the pots.

[7] Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the

secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.

[8] Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt

hearken unto me;

[9] There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any

strange god.

[10] I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:

open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

[11] But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of

me.

[12] So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their

own counsels.

[13] Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my

ways!

[14] I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against

their adversaries.

[15] The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but

their time should have endured for ever.

[16] He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with

honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

For the Music Director. A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. To the melody

of "Suffering of Affliction." A Contemplative Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.



1 O Lord, God of my salvation,

I cry out day and night before You.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Let my prayer come before You;

incline Your ear to my cry.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For my soul is full of troubles,

and my life draws near to Sheol.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) I am counted with those who go down to the grave;

I am a man who has no strength,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) like one who is set free among the dead,

like the slain who lie in the grave,

like those whom You remember no more,

for they are cut off from Your hand.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) You have laid me in the depths of the pit,

in dark and deep regions.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Your wrath lies heavy upon me,

and You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) You have caused my companions to be far from me;

You have made me an abomination to them;

I am shut up, and I cannot escape;

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) my eye is dim from my affliction.

Lord, I call daily upon You,

and I have stretched out my hands to You.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Will You show wonders to the dead?

Shall the dead rise up to praise You? Selah

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave,

or your faithfulness in Abaddon?

12 Shall Your wonders be known in the darkness

or Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

13 But unto You have I cried, O Lord,

and in the morning my prayer comes before You.

14 O Lord, why do You cast away my soul?

Why do You hide Your face from me?

15 I am afflicted and close to death since my youth;

while I suffer Your terrors I am helpless.

16 Your fierce wrath sweeps over me;

Your terrors destroy me.

17 They come around me daily like a flood;

they encircle me together.

18 You have caused to be far from me my lovers and friends,

and my companion is darkness.



Psalm 88

[1] O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee:

[2] Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry;

[3] For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the

grave.

[4] I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that

hath no strength:

[5] Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou

rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.

[6] Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

[7] Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy

waves. Selah.

[8] Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an

abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth.

[9] Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily

upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee.

[10] Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise

thee? Selah.

[11] Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness

in destruction?

[12] Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the

land of forgetfulness?

[13] But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer

prevent thee.

[14] LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me?

[15] I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy

terrors I am distracted.

[16] Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.

[17] They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about

together.

[18] Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into

darkness.

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day.



1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,

and to sing praises unto Your name, O Most High:

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) to declare forth Your lovingkindness in the morning

and Your faithfulness in the night,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) on a ten-stringed lute and on the harp,

and on the lyre with a solemn sound.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For you, O Lord, have made me glad through Your work;

I will sing joyfully at the works of Your hands.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) O Lord, how great are Your works!

Your thoughts are very deep!

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) A brutish man does not recognize,

neither does the fool understand this.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Though the wicked spring up as the grass

and all those who do iniquity flourish,

they shall be destroyed forever:

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) But You, O Lord, are on high forever.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) For Your enemies, O Lord,

for Your enemies shall perish;

all those who do iniquity shall be scattered.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) But my horn You have exalted

like the horn of the wild ox;

You have anointed me with fresh oil.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) My eyes also shall see the downfall of my enemies,

and my ears shall hear the doom of my wicked adversaries.

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree

and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Those that are planted in the house of the Lord

shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;

they shall be filled with vitality and foliage,

15 to show that the Lord is upright;

He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)



Manitoba



Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba



Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000



est Muslim Population 21 349



CNMM Networks: Winnipeg



The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.



Let us intercede in unity for:



- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support



Adding further



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!



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, ...) .

Day 25 of the Month



a) Pray that there will be a growing number of people in your city or

community trusting in Christ as Saviour and Lord.

47 ... And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.



41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized:

and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.

2) Our Daily Bread for 25 April 2026 titled

Serving Like Christ by Katara Patton



Philippians 2:3-8



Christian Humility and Christ's Humility



3 (Ro 12:10; Gal 5:26) Let nothing be done out of strife or conceit, but in

humility let each esteem the other better than himself.

4 (Ro 15:1) Let each of you look not only to your own interests, but also

to the interests of others.

5 (Mt 11:29; Ro 15:3) Let this mind be in you all, which was also in Christ

Jesus,

6 (Jn 5:18; 10:33) who, being in the form of God,

did not consider equality with God something to be grasped.

7 (Mt 20:28; Jn 1:14) But He emptied Himself,

taking upon Himself the form of a servant,

and was made in the likeness of men.

8 (Heb 12:2; Mt 26:39; Jn 10:18) And being found in the form of a man,

He humbled Himself

and became obedient to death,

even death on a cross.



[3] Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of

mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

[4] Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things

of others.

[5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

[6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with

God:

[7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a

servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

[8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became

obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.



As I visited a patient in the hospital, I was struck by the actions of a young

doctor standing with a team of other inexperienced physicians. The group

listened as a more seasoned doctor explained about the patient's health.

Suddenly, the patient anxiously announced that she needed to use the bathroom

and couldn't get up. In fact, she couldn't wait for a nurse's aide to be

summoned to the room.



Amid the frantic scene, the young doctor got a bed pan off the shelf

and assisted the patient. When the nurse’s aide arrived, she was shocked to

find someone had already assisted the patient. The lead physician proudly

acknowledged the assistance of the young doctor.



Jesus didn't cling to His divinity and refuse to assist humanity. Though He

was "in very nature God, [He] did not consider equality with God something to

be used to his own advantage" (Philippians 2:6). As a human, Christ was able

to become our sin offering and sacrifice Himself for us. He saw our need for

help and salvation, and He humbly laid down His life (v. . Paul wrote,

"He made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant" (v. 7).



We're called to imitate Jesus' attitude and sacrificial ways in our

relationships with others. As He helps us, let's humbly serve them no matter

how lowly the job may seem.



Reflect & Pray



How can you reflect the attitude and ways of Jesus?

What will it look like for you to humbly serve someone today?



Thank You, Jesus, for humbly giving Yourself for my sin.

Please show me how to sacrificially serve others.



The Forgiveness of God.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 7 - Upheld by His Hand



Is 41:10



10 (Jos 1:9; Isa 41:13-14) Do not fear, for I am with you;

do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you,

yes, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.



10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God:

I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;

yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.



Beth had the same recurring nightmare: she was running along a cliff,

then she slipped, and fell headlong, into a bottomless ravine.

Falling, without control, without end, falling, falling, falling...

Beth's dream may be one many of us identify with. The sense

of losing control can be nightmarish, and we may fear falling

without end, without remedy. Financial failure may be the chasm

that we face, or professional disgrace. Personal relationships

may go out of control, and we look into a never-ending

ravine of pain and misunderstanding

But God says, "Don't be afraid; I am holding you up."

Like the father who helps his child learn to swim,

God holds us above the water. We may not feel his hands;

indeed, we may suspect that he lets us go just so we can

do it on our own. But he promises that he doesn't let go.

"I am with you." he declares. "I give you strength

and hold you up."

God's promise never to let go takes on new meaning

in a world where relationships are temporary and life is

uncertain. We do not need to fear, for he is with us.

We can relax and stop striving, for he is our God.

His strength becomes ours; amid all our sin and rebellion,

he undergirds us with his righteousness. We cannot fall,

for he holds us firm.



Application



a) Under what circumstances have I felt myself "falling"?



b) How does God's promise in Is 41:10 help me to have faith

in the midst of my fears?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Is 55:11



11 (Isa 45:23; 46:10) so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.



11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:

it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are ill or injured



James 5:13-16



13 (Ps 50:15; Eph 5:19) Is anyone among you suffering?

Let him pray. Is anyone merry? Let him sing psalms.

14 (Mk 6:13; 16:18; Ac 14:23) Is anyone sick among you?

Let him call for the elders of the church,

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil

in the name of the Lord.

15 (Isa 33:24; Jas 1:6) And the prayer of faith will save

the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.

And if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.

16 (Ge 20:17; 18:23-32) Confess your faults to one another

and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much.



13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.

Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church;

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise

him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another,

that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man

availeth much.



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 2026 edition?)



Manitoba



Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba



Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000



est Muslim Population 21 349



CNMM Networks: Winnipeg



The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.



Let us intercede in unity for:



- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support

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!



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, ...) .

Psalm 78

[1] Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my

mouth.

[2] I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

[3] Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

[4] We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to

come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that

he hath done.

[5] For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel,

which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their

children:

[6] That the generation to come might know them, even the children which

should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

[7] That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God,

but keep his commandments:

[8] And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation;

a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not

stedfast with God.

[9] The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in

the day of battle.

[10] They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

[11] And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.

[12] Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of

Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

[13] He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the

waters to stand as an heap.

[14] In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a

light of fire.

[15] He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the

great depths.

[16] He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down

like rivers.

[17] And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the

wilderness.

[18] And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

[19] Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the

wilderness?

[20] Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams

overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

[21] Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled

against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

[22] Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

[23] Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of

heaven,

[24] And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the

corn of heaven.

[25] Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

[26] He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he

brought in the south wind.

[27] He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the

sand of the sea:

[28] And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their

habitations.

[29] So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own

desire;

[30] They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet

in their mouths,

[31] The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and

smote down the chosen men of Israel.

[32] For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous

works.

[33] Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in

trouble.

[34] When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired

early after God.

[35] And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their

redeemer.

[36] Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto

him with their tongues.

[37] For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in

his covenant.

[38] But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed

them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all

his wrath.

[39] For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away,

and cometh not again.

[40] How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the

desert!

[41] Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of

Israel.

[42] They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from

the enemy.

[43] How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of

Zoan:

[44] And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they

could not drink.

[45] He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and

frogs, which destroyed them.

[46] He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto

the locust.

[47] He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with

frost.

[48] He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot

thunderbolts.

[49] He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation,

and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

[50] He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but

gave their life over to the pestilence;

[51] And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in

the tabernacles of Ham:

[52] But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the

wilderness like a flock.

[53] And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea

overwhelmed their enemies.

[54] And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this

mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

[55] He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an

inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

[56] Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his

testimonies:

[57] But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were

turned aside like a deceitful bow.

[58] For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to

jealousy with their graven images.

[59] When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

[60] So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed

among men;

[61] And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the

enemy's hand.

[62] He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his

inheritance.

[63] The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to

marriage.

[64] Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

[65] Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that

shouteth by reason of wine.

[66] And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a

perpetual reproach.

[67] Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe

of Ephraim:

[68] But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

[69] And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he

hath established for ever.

[70] He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

[71] From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob

his people, and Israel his inheritance.

[72] So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them

by the skilfulness of his hands.

Confessing to Christ by Tim Gustafson



Joshua 3:7 ,9-11, 13-17



7 (Jos 4:14; 1:5) The Lord said to Joshua, "Today I will begin to honor you

in the sight of all Israel, so that they may know that just as I was

with Moses, so I will be with you.



9 So Joshua said to the children of Israel,

"Draw near and hear the words of the Lord your God."

10 (Ex 33:2; Dt 5:26) And Joshua said, "By this you will know that the living

God is among you, and that He will thoroughly drive out the Canaanites,

the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites,

and the Jebusites from before you.

11 (Zec 6:5; Jos 3:13) See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of

all the earth is passing before you into the Jordan.



13 (Ex 15:8; Ps 78:13) When the soles of the feet of the priests

who bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth,

touch the water of the Jordan, the water of the Jordan

that flows from upstream will be cut off and pile up."

14 (Ac 7:44-45) When the people set out from their tents

to cross over the Jordan, the priests were carrying

the ark of the covenant before the people.

15 (1Ch 12:15; Jos 4:18) When the carriers of the ark came to the Jordan,

the feet of the priests carrying the ark dipped into the edge of the water.

(Now the Jordan overflows its banks all the days of the harvest.)

16 (Ge 14:3; Jos 3:13) Then the water that flows down from upstream

stood still and rose up in a heap very far away at Adam,

the city beside Zarethan. The water that flows down toward

the Sea of Arabah (the Dead Sea) stopped and was cut off.

The people crossed over opposite Jericho.

17 (Ex 14:29; 14:22) The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord

stood firmly on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, and all Israel

crossed over on dry ground until the entire people completed crossing

over the Jordan.





[7] And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in

the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I

will be with thee.



[9] And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the

words of the LORD your God.

[10] And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you,

and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and

the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and

the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

[11] Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth

over before you into Jordan.



[13] And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the

priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest

in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the

waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.

[14] And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass

over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the

people;

[15] And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of

the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for

Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)

[16] That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an

heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that

came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were

cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

[17] And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood

firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed

over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.



When Chris McCandless wandered off the grid and into the Alaskan wilderness,

he expected to return. But he crossed the Teklanika in April, well before

summer ice-melt would swell that river into an impassable torrent. Months

later, out of food, McCandless couldn't get back. His tragic death is

memorialised in book and film.



The people of ancient Israel faced a crucial river crossing in order to enter

the promised land. However, "the Jordan [was] at flood stage" (Joshua 3:15),

a challenge that would grow their faith. God told Joshua, "Today I will begin

to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as

I was with Moses" (v. 7).



Joshua told the people, "The ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth

will go into the Jordan ahead of you" (v. 11). Taking the ark, the priests

stepped into the Jordan, and "the water from upstream stopped flowing"

(vv. 15-16). The entire nation stepped across on a dry riverbed (v. 17).



From time to time we'll face "river crossings" - impossible situations that

can grow our faith if we'll turn to the one who makes the way across. The

greatest of these crossings is from this life into the next. No matter what it

is, the God who was with Moses, Joshua, and the Israelites also makes

a way for us.



Reflect & Pray



What "river crossing" do you face today?

How have you seen God show His power on your behalf in the past?



Thank You, dear Jesus, that You make the way

across any river I face, including the final one.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 6 - Through The Fire



Is 43:2



2 (Ps 66:12; Da 3:25-27) When you pass through waters,

I will be with you. And through the rivers,they shall not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,

nor shall the flame kindle on you.



2 When thou passest through the waters,

I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:

when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;

neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.



In the Book of Daniel, 3 young men provide one of the world's best-known

Bible stories. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three of the finest young

men of Israel, were taken into capitivity to Babylon. There King

Nebuchadnezzar, filled with his own importance, commanded that

everyone bow down and worship his image.

When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to worship anyone

except the One True god, they were cast into Nebuchadnezzar's

furnace of fire.

Is 43:2 brings their experience into focus for us. There the Lord says,

"When you pass through the fire ... when you walk through the water ..."

Not if, but when. If we are committed to serving and honouring the Lord,

at some point we will be faced with "passing through the fire" for hm.

We may not face a physical furnace, but we may face the fires of

persecution, anger, hostility or suffering. And God says:

"I will be with you."

When the three young Israelites stepped into the king's furnace, all

the people looked and saw, not three, but four men in the fire, their

bonds burned away, walking freely among the flames. They did not

escape the fate decreed for them. But the Lord was with them in

the fire, as surely as he has promised to be with us in the flood

and the fire, as surely as he has promised to be with us in the

flood and fire tht life brings to us. The promise of god remains:

"I will be with you; the waters will not overflow, nor will the

flames burn you."



Application



a) What kinds of "fires" and "Floods" have I experienced?



b) How was I aware of the Lord's presence with me?

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,

who heals all your diseases,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.



1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits:

PSALMS 73



BOOK THREE

Psalms 73-89



A Psalm of Asaph.



1 Truly God is good to Israel,

to the pure in heart.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) But as for me, my feet almost stumbled;

my steps had almost slipped.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For I was envious at the boastful;

I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For there are no pains in their death;

their bodies are fat.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) They are not in trouble as other people;

nor are they plagued like others.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Therefore pride is their necklace;

violence covers them as a garment.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Their eyes bulge with fatness;

they have more than a heart could wish.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) They mock and speak with evil oppression;

they speak loftily.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) They set their mouth against the heavens,

and their tongue struts through the earth.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Therefore people turn to them,

and abundant waters are drunk by them.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) They say, "How does God know?

And is there knowledge with the Most High?"

12 Observe, these are the wicked, always at ease;

they increase in riches.

13 Surely I have kept my heart pure for nothing,

and washed my hands in innocence.

14 For all the day long I am plagued,

and chastened every morning.

15 If I said, "I will speak thus,"

I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.

16 When I thought to understand this,

it was troublesome in my eyes,

17 until I went into the sanctuary of God;

then I understood their end.

18 Surely You have set them in slippery places;

You have brought them down to ruin.

19 How they come to desolation, as in a moment!

They have come to an end, utterly consumed with terrors.

20 As a dream when one awakes,

so, O Lord, when You awake,

You will despise their form.

21 Thus my heart was embittered,

and I was pierced in my feelings.

22 I was a brute and did not understand;

I was as a beast before You.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with You;

You have held me by my right hand.

24 You will guide me with Your counsel,

and afterward receive me to glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but You?

And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You.

26 My flesh and my heart fails,

but God is the strength of my heart

and my portion forever.

27 For those who are far from You will perish;

You destroy everyone who is unfaithful to You.

28 But it is good for me to draw near to God;

I have taken my refuge in the Lord God,

that I may declare all Your works.



Psalm 73

[1] Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

[2] But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

[3] For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the

wicked.

[4] For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

[5] They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like

other men.

[6] Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them

as a garment.

[7] Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

[8] They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak

loftily.

[9] They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh

through the earth.

[10] Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung

out to them.

[11] And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most

High?

[12] Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase

in riches.

[13] Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in

innocency.

[14] For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

[15] If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the

generation of thy children.

[16] When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

[17] Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

[18] Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down

into destruction.

[19] How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly

consumed with terrors.

[20] As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt

despise their image.

[21] Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

[22] So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

[23] Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my

right hand.

[24] Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to

glory.

[25] Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I

desire beside thee.

[26] My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and

my portion for ever.

[27] For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed

all them that go a whoring from thee.

[28] But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the

Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.



PSALMS 77



For the Music Director. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

1 I cried out to God with my voice,

even to God with my voice; and He listened to me.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;

in the night my hand is stretched out and does not weary,

my soul refuses to be comforted.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) I remember God, and I groan;

I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) You hold my eyelids open;

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I have considered the days of old,

the years long ago.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) May I remember my song in the night;

may I meditate in my heart;

my spirit made a diligent search:

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) "Will the Lord cast off forever,

and will He be favorable no more?

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Has His mercy ceased forever,

and have His promises failed for all time?

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Has God forgotten to be gracious,

and has He in anger shut up His tender mercies?" Selah

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Then I said, "This is my grief;

yet I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High."

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) I will remember the works of the Lord;

surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

12 I will meditate also on all Your work

and ponder on Your mighty deeds.

13 Your way, O God, is holiness;

what god is as great as our God?

14 You are the God who can do wonders;

You have declared Your strength among the nations.

15 You have with Your arm redeemed Your people,

the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 The waters saw You, O God.

The waters saw You; they were afraid;

the depths also trembled.

17 The clouds poured out water;

the skies thundered.

Your arrows flashed about.

18 The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind,

and Your lightning lit up the world;

the earth trembled and shook.

19 Your way is through the sea,

and Your path in the great waters,

and your footsteps are not seen.

20 You led Your people like a flock

by the hand of Moses and Aaron.



Psalm 77

[1] I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave

ear unto me.

[2] In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night,

and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

[3] I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was

overwhelmed. Selah.

[4] Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

[5] I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

[6] I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own

heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

[7] Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

[8] Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

[9] Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender

mercies? Selah.

[10] And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the

right hand of the most High.

[11] I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy

wonders of old.

[12] I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

[13] Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

[14] Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength

among the people.

[15] Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and

Joseph. Selah.

[16] The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the

depths also were troubled.

[17] The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows

also went abroad.

[18] The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened

the world: the earth trembled and shook.

[19] Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy

footsteps are not known.

[20] Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
