You'll Never Walk Alone [Live] –
Gaither Music
[God speaking to Job] “’Can you discover the depths of
God? Can you discover the limits of the
Almighty?’” Job 11:7
[Daniel speaking to the king] “However, there is a God in
heaven who reveals mysteries, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what
will take place in the latter days.’”
Daniel 2:28
“If a trumpet is blown in a city will not the people
tremble? If a calamity occurs in a city
has not the Lord done it? Surely the
Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the
prophets. A lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken! Who can but prophesy?’” Amos 3:7
“And the disciples came and said to Him, ‘Why do You
speak to them in parables?’ And He
answered and said to them, ‘To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of
the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.
“’For whoever has, to him shall more be given, and he
shall have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be
taken from him. Therefore I speak to
them in parables;; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they
do not hear, nor do they understand’” Matthew 13:11-13
The book of Job gives us a peek through a keyhole to better
understand the great mysteries surrounding us.
It offers us a glimpse into how the world is run from God’s point of
view, including the supernatural activity we know nothing about.
As Job suffers, God is put on ‘trial’. Job accuses Him of being unfair and making mistakes. Job is angry, satirical -- feels betrayed for
all his good behaviour and earnest efforts.
Job flirts with blasphemy and gives voice to our own most deeply felt,
complaints against God when things seem nonsensical. I wonder why?
Take care, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene (who
prays for you each morning.)

NEW PRAYER REQUESTS
·
USA – Pray the Lord will demonstrate His power in
unexpected and uniting ways during these times of unrest and confusion. Help hearts settle and rest in Him
alone. Let the truth of God’s Word and
ways, overcome the drive to destroy our founding, Bible-based values. And pray for Christ-centre, Bible-based
revival in the USA and religious freedom for Christians wherever they may be.
·
USA President
Donald Trump – As Christians, we
know 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
understand and strengthen their personal relationship with Jesus
Christ. Pray they 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.
·
Pray for Paul – he
continues to search for a job. God has a
plan for him to capture his heart someway.
·

these countries who read the WeakDay Devotion – Hong Kong, Israel,
Sweden, Russia, USA, Canada, Ukraine, Poland, UK, France, Australia, UAE,

Hans –
a dear friend in Germany, continues his immunotherapy for lung cancer. His MRI went well. He has a brain CT scan today and has asked
for prayer for strength through the pain, patience and God’s mercy. Continue to pray for his healthcare providers
and that he is surrounded by faithful and compassionate Christian friends who
will support him through this journey.
Pray for his Mom (age 83) who is unwell herself, that their time
together will be filled with extraordinary good memories and lots of love.

Isaias and Judith
(Ambassadors for Christ the Philippines) – the Philippines has been
devastated by constant batterings from typhoons and floods. Take a moment to visit their new website: https://afcph.org/
to learn more. Many believers have lost
everything, including worship centres, computer equipment, musical instruments
and sound systems. China’s threat grows. Pray for the leaders, administrators, workers
and teachers. Pray our Father keep these
servants strong, in good health, safe and supported and that they keep a
balance in their lives. They need funds badly now. Please take a moment to send encouragement
to Isaias Catorce, who teaches and leads the groups at icatorce@gmail.com
· J&R – recently had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with them and would appreciate prayers that God uses His words in their hearts to draw them to Him for Eternity!
Pray for those in full-time service
Pray to uphold our Christian leaders – that they never compromise God’s Word, are bold and courageous in the face of evil. 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 with fragile health. Pray God takes special care with them and protects them in practical ways and that the Lord will have mercy on them during this challenging time.
