Today's Meditation - Psalms
Read Psalm 83:9-18
Here is a plea for God to take vengeance and exercise His judgment upon all those who have tried to attack and hurt His people. It reminds us of what happened in the past of Israel’s history, and calls upon God to demonstrate to all the nations Who He really is! Romans 12:17-21 makes it clear that we are not personally to take revenge but to leave matters in the hands of the Lord. We are to overcome “evil” with “good.”
Verse for Meditation: Verse 18 – “That men may know that Thou, Whose Name alone is JEHOVAH, art the Most High above all the earth.”

Today's Prayer
“Lord, when I am troubled about what the wicked do and I desire Your judgment, help me to focus on Your honor and Your glory in it all.”
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.
