"Blessed be the Lord,
who daily bears our burden, the God who is our salvation. God is to us a God of deliverances; and to
God the Lord belong escapes from death.” Psalm 68:19-20
"Blessed be the Lord
- day after day He carries us along.
He's our Saviour, our God, oh yes!
He's God-for-us, He's God-who-saves-us.
Lord God knows all death's ins and outs." Psalm 68:19-20
The Message
"Blessed be the Lord,
who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. He that is our God is the God of salvation;
and unto God the Lord belongs the issues from death." Psalm 68:19-20
Blessed be the Lord, because
day after challenging day He carries us over the burdens of our temptations, as
we allow Him to.
We know we can trust Him to
deliver us from our burden (note it's only one burden) time and again and it
has to do with our heart trusting in Him alone.
You see God knows we will keep taking it back from Him!
He also watches over us as we
step into the path of danger and death many times in our lives, but His
faithfulness is true, and we escape more times than we even appreciate.
Why would He do this?
Because He has work for us to do!
What a thrill to be in His care and in His service!
Take care, your servant and
friend in Christ, Darlene (who still prays for you each morning).

To serve
you in a new way, I’m researching and writing practical information for you
about the pandemic. Please visit: https://newsaboutcovid19.blogspot.com/
Please pray for all involved, for health care
workers, those trying to contain the spread; for those contagious, for those
who contract the virus, for those feeling afraid and lonely and for the
families who have lost loved ones. Pray they are wise, patient and
take precautions to protect others.

cases
· 50,944 critical
condition
· 125,623 reported deaths
- USA President Donald Trump as he leads us through this
pandemic – It is especially our responsibility
as Christians to remember God has a plan through this man. If you doubt the importance of his
appointment, just look at how much antagonism there is against him. Surely Satan is NOT happy and means to
thwart God’s plan. Pray someone
helps President Trump understand the true meaning of a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ, that he will have a driving hunger to read God’s Word
for himself and that God sends a Bible-believing Christian to
regularly disciple him in the Truth and that God shuts the mouths of the
false prophets who circle around him.
- Fred – is making plans
to move from California to Tennessee in the first quarter of 2020. Pray for his wise attention to detail,
stamina and roaring good health as he makes these life changes.
- Tracey – Pray Tracey finds
a new role to satisfy her and allow her to grow and share her skills and
wisdom.
PRAY FOR THOSE IN FULL-TIME SERVICE
During
this time, when the entire world is struggling to understand this ‘plague’, it

Jo and their families.
- Audley M – is thankful the
Lord sustained his health through 2019 (the first in five years he did not

it began), but now also in Virginia, Alabama and Indianapolis as America
hungers for true meat!
- Jenny S – Bible teacher -
for energy and good health, wisdom and time for reflection.

Truth of God’s Word in the Bible.

health-wise. It is important to protect them in wise and practical
ways and most important we must pray even more for them that the Lord will have
mercy on them during this challenging time.
