Today's Meditation - Psalms
Read Psalm 94:16-23
The psalmist declares his confidence in the Lord’s judgment of the wicked and reminds himself of how the Lord has been his “help.” We often turn to that which does not really help us; the comfort, wisdom, and encouragement that we need in times of great stress, pressure, and difficulties, comes from the Lord Himself. As the psalmist says, “But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the Rock of my refuge.” In the strongholds of En-Gedi, where David was hiding from King Saul, along the western shore of the Dead Sea, I have been privileged to see various biblical animals, including the “conies.” Grey in color, looking a bit like a rabbit or a large rat, these animals are easily frightened, and have learned when danger comes, to hide in the rocks – that is their refuge. May we learn to do the same.
Verse for Meditation: Verse 19 – “In the multitude of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.”

Today's Prayer
“Thank You, Lord, that when my foot slips, You are the One Who holds me up.”
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.
