Today's Meditation - Psalms
Read Psalm 74:18-23
The cry of the psalmist is for God to remember and to deliver from the wicked. One of the interesting parts of this plea to God is verse 20 when he says “Have respect unto the covenant.” God’s covenant is unconditional and His people know its terms. Therefore, on the basis of God’s faithfulness, this cry to God is given. It is also based on the need for vindication – God is a God of judgment and vengeance as well as love and forgiveness.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 18 – “Remember this, ‘that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed Thy Name.”

Prayer Center
As Christians, we are called to pray for God’s guidance and wisdom. We feel it is more imperative than ever for believers to stand together in prayerful unity as the world continues on a downward spiral toward the Tribulation hour. Calamity causes people to waste huge amounts of time fixated on watching the destruction instead of praying for protection and God’s miraculous interventions.
The Bible is filled with verses encouraging us to stay focused on praying for God’s will for our lives; for the safety and wellbeing of our families, ministries and leaders; for the spiritual awakening of the unsaved so they to come to true salvation in Christ; and of course for one another and anything that the Lord places upon our hearts.
Up to the final moments of our days on earth, until the day of the Rapture of the Church, we are dedicated to be prayer warriors for the cause of Christ. Each Monday we publish prayer needs and invite fellow believers to pray.
