What is the Greatest
Commandment? | GotQuestions.org
“According to the grace of God which was given to me, as
a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon
it. But let each man be careful how he
builds upon it. For no man can lay a
foundation other that the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
“Now if any man builds upon the foundation with gold,
silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man’s work will become evident;
for the day will show it, because it is to be revealed with fire; and the fire
itself will test the quality of each man’s work.
“If any man’s work which he has built upon it remains, he
shall receive a reward. If any man’s
work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; but he himself shall be saved, yet so
as through fire.” I Corinthians 3:10-15
Assignment:
1. Find an hour and place where you will not be interrupted.
2. Have your Bible, your spiritual notebook, a writing implement and refreshment with you.
3. Pray for an open heart and insight.
4. Watch the video.
5. Consider what might be wood, hay and straw and what might be gold, silver, precious stones in your life.
6. Then consider this quote and write your thoughts of how this inspires you to make the same … or different choices.
T. S. Eliot wrote: ‘To
believe in the supernatural is not simply to believe that after living a
successful, material, and fairly virtuous life here, one will continue to exist
in the best-possible substitute for this world, or that after living a starved
and stunted life here, one will be compensated with all the good things one has
gone without: is to believe that the
supernatural is the greatest reality here and now.”
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.
·
Pray for those in
these countries who read the WeakDay Devotion – Hong Kong, Israel,
Sweden, Russia, USA, Canada, Ukraine, Poland, UK, France, Australia, UAE,
Germany, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Ireland, American Samoa, Brazil, The

reaching around His world to an international audience in mysterious and far-flung
geographic locations.

Hans –
a dear friend in Germany, continues his immunotherapy and the doctors are
managing the pain with medications. Pray
for his strength through the pain and God’s mercy. Continue to pray for his healthcare
providers, his patience and wisdom. Pray
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.
