Today's Meditation - Psalms
Read Psalm 82:1-8
This fascinating portion of the psalms speaks of the justice of God and rebukes the unjust practices of this world’s leaders. The word “gods” refers to earthly judges who were supposed to render verdicts in behalf of the Lord, and with His authority, they would be treated as “gods.” But, as often happens, social injustice and insensitive verdicts were rendered by Israel’s judges. God reminds them of their final judgment.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 8 – “Arise, O God, judge the earth: for Thou shalt inherit all nations."

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.
