[Moses speaking to the Israelites after sharing the Ten
Commandments] “And the Lord heard the voice of your words when you spoke to
me, and the Lord said to me, ‘I have heard the voice of the words of this
people which they have spoken to you.
"'They have done well in all that they have spoken. Oh that they had such a heart in them that
they would fear Me, and keep all My commandments always, that it may be well with
them and with their sons forever!
“’Go, say to them, ‘Return to your tents.’ But as for you, stand here by Me, that I may
speak to you all the commandments and the statutes and the judgments which you
shall teach them, that they may observe them in the land which I give them to
possess.’ So you shall observe to do
just as the Lord your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the
right or to the left.
“’You shall walk in all the way which the Lord your God
has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and
that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.’” Deuteronomy
5:28-33
Oh God LONGED for the covenant to succeed, yet the repeated
rebellions in the wilderness had taken a toll.
God predicted a terrible disobedience to come and foretold His
response: ‘I will certainly hide My face
on that day.’
He spoke with a rueful
resignation, like that of a parent confronted with the drug addiction of a
child. Knowing He was helpless to stop
His own child from self-destructing.
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who
prays for you each morning).

USA and religious freedom for Christians wherever they may be.

cancer. Thank you for continuing to pray
for his healthcare providers, his patience and wisdom. Pray he is surrounded by faithful and

of love.

wisdom and patience). Penne has

for support. Please pray for her peace
of mind and God’s guidance.
·
USA President
Donald Trump – As Christians it
is our responsibility to pray for our leaders and know that God has a plan for
the USA through this man. If you doubt
the importance of his appointment, just look at the baseless antagonism against
him. Surely Satan is NOT happy and means to thwart God’s plan. Pray someone helps President Trump and Melania to understand the true meaning of a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Pray they will both have an insatiable hunger to read God’s Word for
themselves. Pray God sends a Bible-Believing
Christian to regularly disciple them in the Truth. Pray God shuts the mouths of the false
prophets who regularly circle around them.
·
Isaias and Judith
(Ambassadors for Christ the Philippines) – carrying on their
fruitful ministry in the Philippines, despite the many challenges they must
daily work with, including the impending threat of China claiming their country. Pray for those who lead, administer, work,
teach and contribute to the ministry.
Pray our Father continues to keep these servants strong, in good health,
safe and supported and that they keep a balance in their lives. They need funds
badly now.

Pray for those in full-time service
During this time, when the entire world is struggling to
understand this new ‘plague’, it is critical for us to uphold our Christian
leaders. They will be needed
everywhere. Pray for their wisdom,
safety, ingenuity, strength and for their families.
Pray for those with ongoing health concerns
Many of us have family, friends and loved ones who are
fragile health wise. It is important to
protect them in practical ways and most important we must pray even more for
them that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
