Day 45 of My 6th Bible Study Journey - 14 February 2026 reflections Part 4



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



3 John 2



2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be

in good health, even as your soul is well.



2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,

even as thy soul prospereth.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



God's Inexhaustible Strength



Is 40:27-31



27 Why do you say, O Jacob,

and assert, O Israel,

"My way is hidden from the Lord,

and my justice escapes the notice of my God"?

28 (Ps 147:5; Ge 21:33; Isa 57:15) Have you not known?

Have you not heard,

that the everlasting God, the Lord,

the Creator of the ends of the earth,

does not faint, nor is He weary?

His understanding is inscrutable.

29 (Isa 41:10) He gives power to the faint,

and to those who have no might He increases strength.

30 (Isa 9:17) Even the youths shall faint and be weary,

and the young men shall utterly fall,

31 (2Co 4:16; Ps 103:5; Ex 19:4) but those who wait upon the Lord

shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles,

they shall run and not be weary,

and they shall walk and not faint.



27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid

from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God,

the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,

neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might

he increaseth strength.

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall

utterly fall:

31 but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall

mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13





9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

Leviticus 6





The Law of the Grain Offering



14 (Nu 15:4) This is the law of the grain offering. The sons of Aaron

shall offer it before the Lord on the altar.

15 (Lev 2:2; 2:9) He shall take from it a handful of the flour

of the grain offering, and of the oil and all the frankincense

which is on the grain offering, and shall burn it on the altar

for a pleasing aroma as a memorial to the Lord.

16 (Lev 2:3; Eze 44:29) Aaron and his sons shall eat the remainder of it;

it shall be eaten without leaven in a holy place.

They shall eat it in the court of the tent of meeting.

17 (Lev 2:11; 6:25) It shall not be baked with leaven.

I have given it to them for their portion of My food offerings made by fire.

It is most holy, as is the sin offering and as is the guilt offering.

18 (Lev 6:29; Nu 18:10) All the males among the children of Aaron shall

eat of it. It shall be a perpetual statute in your generations concerning

the food offerings of the Lord made by fire.

Everyone who touches them shall become holy.

19 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

20 (Ex 16:36; 29:2) This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons which

they shall offer to the Lord in the day when he is anointed:

a tenth part of an ephah

(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)

of wheat flour for a regular grain offering, half of it in the morning

and half at night.

21 (Lev 2:5; 7:9) It shall be made on a griddle with olive oil.

When it is well mixed, you shall bring it; and the baked pieces

of the grain offering you shall offer as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

22 The priest from among the sons of Aaron who is anointed to succeed

him shall offer it. It is a perpetual statute to the Lord.

It shall be completely burned up.

23 For every grain offering for the priest shall be completely burned up.

It shall not be eaten.



[14] And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer

it before the LORD, before the altar.

[15] And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering,

and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat

offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the

memorial of it, unto the LORD.

[16] And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened

bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of

the congregation they shall eat it.

[17] It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their

portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin

offering, and as the trespass offering.

[18] All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be

a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD

made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.

[19] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[20] This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer

unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of

fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and

half thereof at night.

[21] In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt

bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for

a sweet savour unto the LORD.

[22] And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer

it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD, it shall be wholly burnt.

[23] For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall

not be eaten.



The Law of the Sin Offering



24 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

25 (Lev 4:24; 1:11; 1:3) Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying:

This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt

offering is killed shall the sin offering also be killed

before the Lord. It is most holy.

26 (Lev 10:17-18; Eze 44:28-29) The priest who offers it

for sin shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten

in the court of the tent of meeting.

27 (Ex 29:37) Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy,

and when blood is sprinkled on any garment,

you shall wash it in a holy place.

28 (Lev 11:33; 15:12) And the clay vessel where it is boiled

shall be broken, and if it is boiled in a bronze pot,

it shall be both scoured and rinsed in water.

29 All the males among the priests shall eat from this offering.

It is most holy.

30 (Lev 4:3-21; 10:18) Any sin offering where blood is brought

into the tent of meeting to make atonement in the holy place

shall not be eaten. It shall be burned up in the fire.



[24] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[25] Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin

offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin

offering be killed before the LORD: it is most holy.

[26] The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place

shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[27] Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there

is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that

whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.

[28] But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it

be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.

[29] All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.

[30] And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the

tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall

be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.



LEVITICUS 7



The Law of the Guilt Offering



1 (Lev 5:1-6; 5:14-6:7) Likewise this is the law of the guilt offering.

It is most holy.

2 (Lev 1:5; 1:11) In the place where they kill the burnt offering

they shall kill the guilt offering, and its blood shall he sprinkle

on the sides of the altar.

3 (Ex 29:13; Lev 3:15-16) He shall offer all the fat.

The fatty tail and the fat that covers the entrails,

4 and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, which is on the loins,

and the appendage that is above the liver, along with the kidneys,

he shall take away.

5 And the priest shall burn them on the altar for a food offering made

by fire to the Lord. It is a guilt offering.

6 (Lev 6:29; 2:3) Every male among the priests shall eat from it.

It shall be eaten in a holy place. It is most holy.

7 (Lev 6:25-26; 14:13) As the sin offering, so is the guilt offering;

there is one law for them: the priest who makes atonement shall have it.

8 The priest who offers anyone's burnt offering shall have for himself

the skin of the burnt offering that he has offered.

9 (Lev 2:10; Nu 18:9) Every grain offering that is baked in the oven

and all that is prepared in a pan or griddle shall be for the priest

who offers it.

10 And every grain offering, whether mixed with oil or dry,

shall be equally shared among all the sons of Aaron.



[1] Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.

[2] In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the

trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon

the altar.

[3] And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that

covereth the inwards,

[4] And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the

flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he

take away:

[5] And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by

fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass offering.

[6] Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the

holy place: it is most holy.

[7] As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law

for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.

[8] And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, even the priest

shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.

[9] And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is

dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that

offereth it.

[10] And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons

of Aaron have, one as much as another.



The Law of Peace Offerings



11 This is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings

that a person shall offer to the Lord.

12 (Lev 2:4; Nu 6:15) If he gives it as a thanksgiving offering,

then he shall offer with the thanksgiving sacrifice unleavened cakes

mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers smeared with oil,

and cakes of wheat flour mixed with olive oil.

13 (Am 4:5; Lev 23:17) Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering

leavened bread with the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings.

14 (Nu 18:19; Ex 29:27-28) From this he shall offer one loaf

from each offering, as a gift to the Lord. It shall be

for the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.

15 The flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings

for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered;

he shall not leave any of it until the morning.

16 (Lev 19:5-8; Dt 12:6) But if the sacrifice of his offering

is a vow or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day

that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day

also the remainder of it can be eaten.

17 (Ex 12:10) But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice

on the third day shall be burned up with fire.

18 (Lev 19:7-8; 11:41) If any of the flesh of the sacrifice

of his peace offerings is eaten at all on the third day,

the one eating shall not be accepted,

nor shall it be imputed to him who offers it.

It shall be contaminated,

and the one who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

19 The flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten.

It shall be burned up with fire. And as for the other flesh,

all who are ritually clean can eat of it.

20 But the person who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings

that belong to the Lord, and who has any uncleanness on him,

that individual shall be cut off from his people.

21 (Lev 5:2-3; 11:10-13) Moreover the person who shall touch any unclean

thing, whether the uncleanness of man or any unclean beast or any

detestable unclean creature, and then eats of the flesh

of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord,

that individual shall be cut off from his people.



[11] And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall

offer unto the LORD.

[12] If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the

sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened

wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.

[13] Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with

the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.

[14] And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave

offering unto the LORD, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the

blood of the peace offerings.

[15] And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving

shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it

until the morning.

[16] But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering,

it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the

morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:

[17] But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall

be burnt with fire.

[18] And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be

eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be

imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul

that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.

[19] And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it

shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat

thereof.

[20] But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace

offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even

that soul shall be cut off from his people.

[21] Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the

uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing,

and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto

the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.

Day 45 of My 6th Bible Study Journey - 14 February 2026 reflections Part 3

Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden



22 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

23 (Lev 3:16-17) Speak to the children of Israel, saying:

You shall not eat any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.

24 (Ex 22:31; Lev 17:15) The fat of an animal that dies

of itself and the fat of that which is torn by beasts

may be used in any other way, but you shall certainly not eat of it.

25 For whoever eats the fat of an animal that is a food offering made

by fire to the Lord, that individual shall be cut off from his people.

26 (Ge 9:4; Lev 3:17) Moreover you shall not eat any manner of blood,

whether from a fowl or animal, in any of your dwellings.

27 Whoever eats any manner of blood, that individual

shall be cut off from his people.



[22] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[23] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of

fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.

[24] And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that

which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no

wise eat of it.

[25] For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an

offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be

cut off from his people.

[26] Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of

beast, in any of your dwellings.

[27] Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul

shall be cut off from his people.



The Priests' Share



28 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

29 Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He who offers the sacrifice

of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring his sacrifice to the Lord

from his peace offerings.

30 (Nu 6:20; Lev 3:3-4) His own hands shall bring the food offerings

of the Lord made by fire, the fat with the breast that the breast

may be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

31 (Lev 3:5; 3:11) The priest shall burn the fat on the altar,

but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.

32 (Lev 7:34; 9:21) The right thigh you shall give to the priest

for a contribution offering for the sacrifice of your peace offerings.

33 The one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood

of the peace offerings and the fat shall have

the right thigh for his portion.

34 (Nu 18:18-19; Lev 10:14-15) For the breast that is waved

and the thigh that is contributed I have taken from the children of Israel,

from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to

Aaron the priest and to his sons as a perpetual portion

from the children of Israel.

35 This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his sons,

from the food offerings of the Lord made by fire,

in the day when Moses presented them to minister as priests before the Lord,

36 (Lev 8:12; 8:30) which the Lord commanded that they be given this,

in the day that he anointed them, from the children of Israel

as a perpetual portion throughout their generations.

37 (Ex 29:1) This is the law of the burnt offering,

of the grain offering, and of the sin offering,

and of the guilt offering,

and of the ordinations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings,

38 (Lev 1:1-2) which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai,

in the day that He commanded the children of Israel to offer

their offerings to the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai.



[28] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[29] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the

sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto

the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

[30] His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the

fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a

wave offering before the LORD.

[31] And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall

be Aaron's and his sons'.

[32] And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave

offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

[33] He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace

offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.

[34] For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children

of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given

them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from

among the children of Israel.

[35] This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of

his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he

presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest's office;

[36] Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in

the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their

generations.

[37] This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the

sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of

the sacrifice of the peace offerings;

[38] Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he

commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in

the wilderness of Sinai.



2) Our Daily Bread for 14 February 2026 titled God's Eternally Beloved



Jeremiah 31:1-4,7-9



1 (Jer 30:22; Ge 17:7-8) At that time, says the Lord, I will be the God

of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people.

2 (Nu 10:33; Dt 1:33) Thus says the Lord:

The people who survived the sword

found grace in the wilderness,

when I went to give Israel rest.

3 (Hos 11:4; Mal 1:2) The Lord has appeared to him from afar, saying:

Indeed, I have loved you with an everlasting love;

therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.

4 (Jer 31:13; 33:7) Again I will build you

and you will be built, O virgin of Israel.

You will again be adorned with your tambourines

and shall go forth in the dances of those who make merry.

7 (Ps 14:7; 28:9) For thus says the Lord:

Sing with gladness for Jacob,

and shout among the chief of the nations;

publish, praise, and say,

"O Lord, save Your people,

the remnant of Israel."

8 (Isa 42:16; Jer 23:8) See, I will bring them from the north country,

and gather them from the remote parts of the earth,

and with them the blind and the lame,

the woman with child and her who is in labor with child, together;

a great company will return here.

9 (Jer 3:4; Ex 4:22; Isa 63:13) They will come with weeping,

and with supplications I will lead them.

I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters,

in a straight way in which they shall not stumble.

For I am a Father to Israel,

and Ephraim is My firstborn.



[1] At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families

of Israel, and they shall be my people.

[2] Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace

in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

[3] The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee

with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.

[4] Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel:

thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the

dances of them that make merry.

[7] For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among

the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy

people, the remnant of Israel.

[8] Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from

the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman

with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company

shall return thither.

[9] They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I

will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein

they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my

firstborn.



One of the most dramatic and mysterious love letters of all time was penned by

composer Ludwig van Beethoven and was only discovered after his death in 1827.

The hastily handwritten letter is full of passionate lines like, "My eternally

beloved . . . I can only live either wholly with you or not at all."

Tragically, it appears the letter was never sent, and his intended recipient

remains unknown.



Beethoven's letter is treasured by readers who can identify with his desperate

yearning for love. We seek love and fulfillment in many people, things, and

experiences that cannot fully satisfy. But far greater than a fleeting romance

is the love of God for His covenant people, to whom He showed great love for

the sake of all people. Through the prophet Jeremiah, God declared, "I have

loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness"

(Jeremiah 31:3). Because of His great love, God promised a future of rest

and favour (v. 2) and the restoration of anything that was broken (v. 4).

Despite their repeated rejection and rebellion,

God vowed to bring them back to Himself (v. 9).



Many years later, that same everlasting love motivated Jesus to endure death

for sinners, even before we ever returned His love (Romans 5:8). We don't have

to search for love or try to earn it. We're already loved with an everlasting l

ove!



Reflect & Pray



In what ways do you look for love on earth?

How has God demonstrated His eternal love to you?



Loving God, I’m so grateful for the way

You pursue me with an everlasting love.



How can we love each other the way God calls us to? Find out more by watching

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 7 Our God reigns!



Is 52:7



7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news,

who proclaims peace, who brings good news of happiness,

who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"



7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good

tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that

publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!



A messenger has a single duty: to carry information. During World War II, many

parents dreaded the arrival of the Western Union messenger, believing that

delivery of a telegram meant that their son has been wounded or killed.

Isaiah 52:7, however, indicates that a messenger's word is not always

unwelcome. "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring

good news ..." the prophet says. The "Good news"? Peace , salvation,

and the resultant message: "Your God reigns!"

Our God reigns - in forgiveness, in reconciliation, bringing peace and freedom

and joy. Our God reigns, controlling our lives with a loving hand, ordering

our experiences for our good, and his glory. Our God reigns in relationships,

in professional circumstances, in families, in churches. The good news is

proclaimed: Life is not unmanageable. Our God Reigns!

When we know that God reigns in our lives, we can relax, let go of the reins

of control, and live in peace. We can forgive those who have hurt us, knowing

that God will reveal to them what they need to know. We can live

with good times and bad, recognising that God uses every circumstance

of our lives to conform us to the image of his Son. We can rejoice in his

grace, free from the compulsion to earn his love and acceptance, and

we can live in the peace that comes only through his lordship in our lives.

Our God reigns - that is , indeed "Good news".



Application



a) Have I ever felt that life was "out of control"? Why?



b) What does it mean in practical terms to know that "Our God reigns"?

Day 45 of My 6th Bible Study Journey - 14 February 2026 reflections Part 1

Day 45, 14 Feb 2026



1) Leviticus 5, Leviticus 6, Leviticus 7



LEVITICUS 5



The Guilt Offering



1 (Lev 5:17; Pr 29:24; Lev 7:18 )When a person sins in hearing the spoken

oath, and he is a witness, whether he saw or knew about the incident,

if he does not report it, he bears guilt.

2 (Lev 5:17; Dt 14:8) Or when a person touches any ceremonially unclean

thing, whether it is a carcass of unclean wildlife, or a carcass of

an unclean domesticated animal, or the carcass of an unclean crawling thing,

and he did not realize it, then he has become unclean and guilty.

3 (Lev 12:1-8; 15:1-33) Or when he touches human uncleanness,

any uncleanness by which he may become ceremonially unclean,

and he did not realize it, when he realizes it, then he shall be guilty.

4 (Jdg 11:31; 1Sa 25:22) Or when a person swears by speaking rashly

with his lips to do evil or to do good, anything that a man may speak

rashly by oath, and he did not realize it, but when he realizes it,

then he has become guilty of any of these things.

5 (Nu 5:7; Lev 16:21; 26:40) When he becomes guilty of one of these things,

he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing.

6 (Lev 4:28; 4:32) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord

for his sin which he has committed, a female from the flock, a lamb or goat,

for a sin offering. And the priest shall make atonement

for him concerning his sin.

7 (Lev 12:8; 14:21-22) If he cannot afford an animal, then he shall

bring for his guilt offering, on account of the sin that he committed,

two turtledoves or two pigeons to the Lord, one for a sin offering

and one for a burnt offering.

8 (Lev 1:15; 1:17) He shall bring them to the priest who shall offer

the one for the sin offering first. He will wring off its head at

its neck, but he shall not sever it.

9 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) Then he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin

offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood shall be

poured out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.

10 (Lev 1:14-17; 4:26; 4:20) But the second he shall treat as a burnt

offering according to the regulation. The priest shall make atonement

for him for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.

11 (Nu 5:15; Lev 2:1-2) But if he cannot afford to bring two turtledoves

or two pigeons, he shall bring for his offering for the sin that

he committed one-tenth of an ephah

(Likely about 3 1/2 pounds, or 1.6 kilograms.)

of wheat flour for a sin offering. He shall not place olive oil on it,

nor shall he put frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.

12 (Lev 2:9; 2:2) Then he shall bring it to the priest,

and the priest shall scoop out a handful from it as a memorial portion

and burn it on the altar as a food offering to the Lord made by fire.

It is a sin offering.

13 (Lev 2:3; 4:26) The priest shall make atonement for him concerning

his sin that he committed from any of these offenses, and he shall be

forgiven. The remainder will belong to the priest, like the grain offering.



[1] And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness,

whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall

bear his iniquity.

[2] Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an

unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean

creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and

guilty.

[3] Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that

a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of

it, then he shall be guilty.

[4] Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good,

whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from

him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.

[5] And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he

shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:

[6] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which

he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a

sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his

sin.

[7] And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his

trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,

unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.

[8] And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is

for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall

not divide it asunder:

[9] And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of

the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the

altar: it is a sin offering.

[10] And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the

manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he

hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

[11] But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons,

then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah

of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall

he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.

[12] Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his

handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according

to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.

[13] And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that

he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the

remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.



Offerings With Restitution



14 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

15 (Ex 30:13; Lev 4:2) When a person acts unfaithfully and sins

unintentionally in regard to the holy things of the Lord,

then for his restitution offering to the Lord he shall bring a ram

without blemish from the flock - or its equivalent, in your estimation,

in silver shekels (using the sanctuary shekel

(About 2/5 ounce, or 12 grams.))

-for a guilt offering.

16 (Lev 22:14; Nu 5:7) And he shall repay the sin that he committed

with regard to the holy thing and shall add a fifth to it and give

it to the priest. The priest shall make atonement for him with the ram

of the guilt offering, and he shall be forgiven.

17 (Lev 4:13; 4:27) If a person sins unintentionally

and does any one of the things that by commandments

of the Lord should not be done and he is found guilty,

he shall bear his iniquity.

18 (Lev 5:15-16) He shall bring to the priest a ram without blemish

from the flock - or its equivalent value

(This is a shorthand version of the full formula found in Lev 5:15.)

-for a guilt offering. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning

his error that he made unintentionally, and he shall be forgiven.

19 It is a guilt offering: He has indeed incurred guilt before the Lord.



[14] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[15] If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy

things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram

without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver,

after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:

[16] And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy

thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest:

and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass

offering, and it shall be forgiven him.

[17] And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden

to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he

guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.

[18] And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy

estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall

make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist

it not, and it shall be forgiven him.

[19] It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the

LORD.



LEVITICUS 6



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Ex 22:7 - 10; Lev 19:11) When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against

the Lord by lying to another concerning something left in storage,

or entrusted to him, or theft, or by extorting his neighbor,

3 (Ex 23:4; Lev 19:12) or by finding a lost item and lying about it,

and he swears falsely concerning one of all the things that a man

may do to sin in these things,

4 when he sins and he is found guilty, he shall return whatever he stole,

or whatever he extorted, or whatever was left in storage with him,

or the lost item which he found,

5 (Lev 5:16; Nu 5:7-8) or about which he swore falsely, then he shall

repay it in full and shall add one-fifth to it. He shall give it to

whom it belongs on the day that he is found guilty.

6 (Lev 5:15; 5:18) And he shall bring his guilt offering to the Lord,

a ram without blemish from the flock -

(or its equivalent value (Shorthand version of the

full formula found in Lev 5:15.))

- for a guilt offering to the priest.

7 (Lev 4:26) And the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord, and

he shall be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.



[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his

neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a

thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;

[3] Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth

falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:

[4] Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall

restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath

deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost

thing which he found,

[5] Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it

in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it

unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.

[6] And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without

blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto

the priest:

[7] And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it

shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing

therein.



The Law of the Burnt Offering



8 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

9 (Nu 28:3; Ex 29:38-42) Command Aaron and his sons, saying:

This is the law for the burnt offering.

The burnt offering shall be on the hearth upon the altar all night

until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.

10 (Ex 28:39-43; Lev 16:4) The priest shall put on his linen robe,

and his linen undergarments on his body.

Then he shall remove the ashes from the fire

of the burnt offering on the altar,

and he shall put them beside the altar.

11 (Lev 4:12; Eze 44:19) Then he shall take off his garments

and put on other garments, and he shall bring the ashes outside

the camp to a clean place.

12 The fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it. It shall not go out.

The priest shall feed it with wood every morning. He will arrange

the burnt offering on it, and he shall burn the fat of

the peace offerings on it.

13 A perpetual fire shall be kept burning on the altar.

It shall never go out.



[8] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[9] Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt

offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar

all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in

it.

[10] And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches

shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath

consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside

the altar.

[11] And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry

forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.

[12] And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put

out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt

offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace

offerings.

[13] The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.

Day 44 of My 6th Bible Study Journey - 13 February 2026 reflections Part 5

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

Day 44 of My 6th Bible Study Journey - 13 February 2026 reflections Part 3

Leviticus 4

[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through

ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things

which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:

[3] If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the

people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young

bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.

[4] And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the

congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's

head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.

[5] And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and

bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:

[6] And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the

blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.

[7] And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar

of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the

congregation: and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of

the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of

the congregation.

[8] And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin

offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon

the inwards,

[9] And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the

flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,

[10] As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace

offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt

offering.

[11] And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with

his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,

[12] Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a

clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with

fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.

[13] And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the

thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat

against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should

not be done, and are guilty;

[14] When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the

congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before

the tabernacle of the congregation.

[15] And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head

of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the

LORD.

[16] And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to

the tabernacle of the congregation:

[17] And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle

it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail.

[18] And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is

before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall

pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering,

which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

[19] And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.

[20] And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin

offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement

for them, and it shall be forgiven them.

[21] And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as

he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.

[22] When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against

any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should

not be done, and is guilty;

[23] Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall

bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:

[24] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the

place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin

offering.

[25] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his

finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall

pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.

[26] And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the

sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him

as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

[27] And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he

doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things

which ought not to be done, and be guilty;

[28] Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he

shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for

his sin which he hath sinned.

[29] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay

the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

[30] And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put

it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the

blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.

[31] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away

from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon

the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an

atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

[32] And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female

without blemish.

[33] And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay

it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering

[34] And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his

finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall

pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:

[35] And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is

taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall

James 4:1-10



Friendship With the World



1 (Ro 7:23; 1Pe 2:11) Where do wars and fights among you come from?

Do they not come from your lusts that war in your body?

2 You lust and do not have, so you kill.

You desire to have and cannot obtain. You fight and war.

Yet you do not have, because you do not ask.

3 (1Jn 5:14; 3:22) You ask, and do not receive, because you ask amiss,

that you may spend it on your passions.

4 (Jn 15:19; Ro 8:7) You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know

that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore

will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

5 Do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "He yearns jealously

for the spirit that lives in us"(The source of this quotation is uncertain.)?

6 (Pr 3:34; 1Pe 5:5) But He gives more grace. For this reason it says:

"God resists the proud,

but gives grace to the humble."(Pr 3:34.)

7 (Eph 4:27; 1Pe 5:8-9) Therefore submit yourselves to God.

Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8 (2Ch 15:2; Jas 1:8) Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.

Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

9 (Lk 6:25; Pr 14:13) Grieve and mourn and weep.

Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to ­dejection.

10 (Mt 23:12) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,

and He will lift you up.



[1] From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even

of your lusts that war in your members?

[2] Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain:

ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

[3] Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it

upon your lusts.

[4] Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the

world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world

is the enemy of God.

[5] Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth

in us lusteth to envy?

[6] But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud,

but giveth grace unto the humble.

[7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee

from you.

[8] Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye

sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

[9] Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to

mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

[10] Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.



After years of struggle and crying out in prayer, Frank quit drinking. He

attributes his continued sobriety to God's work in his life. But he also made

some important changes. He no longer kept alcohol in the house, watched for

warning signs in his thinking and moods, and was wary of certain situations.

He leaned on God and knew not to leave an opening for temptation or sin.



"Be alert and of sober mind," the apostle Peter warned. "Your enemy the devil

prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour"

(1 Peter 5:8). Peter knew we needed to be watchful because the devil's attacks

are often unexpected—when it seems like our life couldn’t be better, or we

think we'd never be tempted in a certain area.



James too warned his readers to submit to God and "resist the devil." When we

do, our enemy "will flee" (James 4:7). The best way to resist him is to stay

close to God through prayer and time in Scripture. When we do, God comes near

to us (v. 8-) through His Spirit (Romans 5:5). James also offered this

encouragement: "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up"

(James 4:10).



We all face challenging moments in life when we're tempted and struggle.

We can rest knowing that God wants us to succeed and overcome.

He is with us in our troubles.



Reflect & Pray



When do you seem to be more susceptible to temptation?

How has God helped you in those times?



Dear God, please help me draw near to You instead

of pulling away. I need Your daily guidance to keep me on the right path.



Learn how the Spirit fights on your behalf.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 6 Reconciliation



2 Cor 5:18-19



18 All this is from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ

and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation,

19 that is, that God was

in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their sins

against them, and has entrusted to us the message of reconciliation.



18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus

Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,

not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us

the word of reconciliation.



When Paul writes in 2 Cor 5:17 that we become a "new creation" in Christ

Jesus, the story does not end there. The verses following give us direction

for tht new life in Christ. "All This", Paul says, referring to the miracle of

new life in Christ, "is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ

and gave us the ministry of reconciliation."

Reconciliation means to bring back together what was once separated. Man was

separated from God by sin, and God took the initiative to reconcile man to

himself. Our "ministry of reconciliation" as Christians is twofold: to draw

others to the Lord and to work for reconciliation between individuals.

Reconciliation is the ultimate goal of forgiveness. God, through his grace ,

extends forgiveness to us when we are still sinners, unrepentant,

undeserving. When we respond, we come into reconciliation with him

and are brought back into oneness. Likewise, when we extend the grace

of forgiveness to another, we are set free by the act of forgiving, but we

hope that the ultimate outcome will be reconciliation.

God shows us the pattern: he is the wronged party, yet he does not wait for

the offender to come to him, hat in hand. He takes a bold initiative, offering

forgiveness freely with out regard to merit. The pattern applies to us;

as the new life in Christ takes hold of us, we must reach out, and reach,

and keep on reaching, breaking down the barriers, taking the risk of

rejection so that we may come to reconciliation.



Application



a) What barriers stand between me and reconciliation with another person?



b) How can I take a risk and reach out to offer forgiveness and

reconciliation to them?



c) What kind of attitude do I need to be a "minister of reconciliation"?

God's Protection in Times of Trouble



Ps 27:1-6



PSALMS 27



A Psalm of David.



1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;

whom will I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life;

of whom will I be afraid?

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) When the wicked came against me

to eat my flesh -

my enemies and my foes -

they stumbled and fell.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Though an army should encamp against me,

my heart will not fear;

though war should rise against me,

in this will I be confident.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) One thing I have asked from the Lord,

that will I seek after -

for me to dwell in the house of the Lord

all the days of my life,

to see the beauty of the Lord,

and to inquire in His temple.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For in the time of trouble

He will hide me in His pavilion;

in the shelter of His tabernacle He will hide me;

He will set me up on a rock.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8 - 9) Now my head will be lifted up

above my enemies encircling me;

therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.



1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes,

came upon me to eat up my flesh,

They stumbled and fell.

3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:

Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;

That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,

To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:

In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;

he shall set me up upon a rock.

6 And now shall mine head be lifted up,

Above mine enemies round about me:

Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;

I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

LEVITICUS 4



The Sin Offering



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Lev 4:27; Ps 19:12) Speak to the children of Israel, saying:

When a person sins unintentionally against any of the commandments

of the Lord that should not be done, and he violates one of them,

3 (Lev 4:14; 9:2) if the anointed priest sins, so as to bring guilt

on the people, he shall bring for his sin that he has committed

a bull without blemish to the Lord for a sin offering.

4 (Lev 1:3-4) He shall bring the bull to the opening of the tent

of meeting before the Lord, and he shall lay his hand on the bull's head

and slaughter the bull before the Lord.

5 (Lev 16:14; 4:16-17) The anointed priest shall take some

of the bull's blood and bring it into the tent of meeting.

6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle

some of the blood seven times before the Lord in front of the veil

of the sanctuary.

7 (Lev 8:15; 9:9; 16:18) Then the priest shall put some of the blood

on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before the Lord

which is in the tent of meeting, and shall pour the rest of the blood

of the bull at the base of the altar of the burnt offering which is

at the door of the tent of meeting.

8 (Lev 3:3-5) Then he shall remove all the fat of the bull that is

for the sin offering - the fat that covers the entrails - and all the fat

that is on the entrails,

9 (Lev 3:4) and the two kidneys with the fat that is above them,

which is on the loins, and the appendage on the liver

which he shall remove with the kidneys,

10 just as these are removed from the bull of the peace sacrifice,

and the priest shall burn them on the altar of the burnt offering.

11 (Nu 19:5; Ex 29:14) The skin of the bull, and all its flesh,

with its head, its legs, its entrails, and its dung,

12 (Heb 13:11; Ex 29:14) all the rest of the bull,

he shall bring outside the camp to a ritually clean

("Clean: and "unclean" refer to ceremonial aspects of places,

objects, or people.) place at the ash pile and burn it on wood

with fire. It shall be burned on the ash heap.

13 (Lev 5:17; 5:2-5) If the whole congregation of Israel

commits an unintentional sin, and the matter is hidden

from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of the things

that by the commandments of the Lord should not be done,

and they are found guilty,

14 (Lev 4:3; 4:23) and the sin that they committed

against the commandment becomes known,

the congregation shall offer a bull for a sin offering,

and they will bring it before the tent of meeting.

their hands on the head of the bull before the Lord,

and the bull will be slaughtered before the Lord.

some of the bull's blood to the tent of meeting.

and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil.

the Lord, which is in the tent of meeting, and he shall pour all the rest

of the blood at the base of the altar of the burnt offering that is

at the opening of the tent of meeting.

19 He shall remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.

20 (Nu 15:25; Heb 10:10-12) He shall do to this bull just

as he did to the bull of the sin offering;

this is what he will do to it.

And the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

21 (Lev 16:15) He shall bring the bull outside the camp,

and he shall burn it just as he burned the first bull.

It is the sin offering of the congregation.

22 (Lev 4:2; 4:13) Whenever a leader sins,

and he does unintentionally any one of the things that

by the commandments of the Lord his God should not be done

and is found guilty,

23 (Lev 4:14) or his sin that he committed was made known to him,

he shall bring as his offering a male goat without blemish,

24 and he shall lay his hand on the head of the goat,

and he shall slaughter it in the place where they slaughter

the burnt offering before the Lord. It is a sin offering.

25 (Lev 4:7; 4:18) The priest shall take some of the blood

of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the horns

of the altar of the burnt offering, and he shall pour out its blood

at the base of the altar of the burnt offering.

26 (Lev 4:20; 3:5) And he shall burn all its fat on the altar,

like the fat of the peace sacrifice, and the priest shall make

atonement for him for his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

27 (Lev 4:2; Nu 15:27; Lev 4:13) If any one of the common people

should sin unintentionally by doing one of the things

that by the commandments of the Lord should not be done,

and is found guilty,

28 (Lev 4:23; 4:3; 4:32) or his sin that he committed

was made known to him, he shall bring as his offering

a female goat without blemish, for his sin that he committed.

29 (Lev 4:4; 4:24) He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering,

and he shall slaughter the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.

30 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of its blood on his finger

and put it on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering,

and he shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.

31 (Lev 4:26; 4:35; 1:9) And he shall remove all its fat,

just as the fat is removed from the peace sacrifice,

and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasing aroma to the Lord,

and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.

32 (Lev 4:28; 1Pe 2:22; 3:18) And if he brings a sheep for a sin offering,

he shall bring a female without blemish,

33 and lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and he shall

slaughter it for a sin offering in the place where they slaughter

the burnt offering.

34 (Lev 4:7; 4:25) The priest shall take some of the blood

of the sin offering on his finger and put it on the horns

of the altar of the burnt offering, and all the rest of its blood

he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

35 (Lev 4:26; 4:20) And he shall remove all the fat, just as

the fat of the sheep is removed from the peace sacrifice,

and the priest shall burn it on the altar as a food offering

to the Lord made by fire. And the priest shall make atonement

for his sin that he committed, and he shall be forgiven.

[6] And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.

[7] And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay

the wood in order upon the fire:

[8] And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the

fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:

[9] But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest

shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by

fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

[10] And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the

goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.

[11] And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the

LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about

upon the altar.

[12] And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the

priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon

the altar:

[13] But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest

shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an

offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

[14] And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls,

then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.

[15] And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head,

and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the

side of the altar:

[16] And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside

the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:

[17] And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it

asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is

upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet

savour unto the LORD.



LEVITICUS 2



The Grain Offering



1 (Lev 6:14-18; 9:17) When a person offers a grain offering to the Lord,

his offering shall be of wheat flour. He shall pour olive oil on it

and put frankincense on it.

2 (Lev 5:12; 6:15; 2:9) And he shall bring it to the sons of Aaron,

the priests, and he shall scoop out a handful of the flour and its oil,

offering made by fire to the Lord.



Leviticus 2

[1] And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering

shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense

thereon:

[2] And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take

thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all

the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon

the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:

[3] And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it

is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.

[4] And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it

shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened

wafers anointed with oil.

[5] And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of

fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.

[6] Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.

[7] And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall

be made of fine flour with oil.

[8] And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto

the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto

the altar.

[9] And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof,

and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet

savour unto the LORD.

[10] And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his

sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.

[11] No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made

with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of

the LORD made by fire.

[12] As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the

LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.

[13] And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt;

neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking

from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.

[14] And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD,

thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of

corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.

[15] And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a

meat offering.

[16] And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn

thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it

is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

Generating SSL Certificates in a post-quantum cryptography

To implement Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) on FreeBSD using OpenSSL 3.5+, you are moving into the realm of Hybrid Key Exchange. This uses a combination of classical algorithms (like X25519) and PQ algorithms (like ML-KEM/Kyber) to ensure security even if one of the methods is later compromised.1. Generating Post-Quantum CertificatesOpenSSL 3.5/3.6 supports the OQS (Open Quantum Safe) provider logic. We will generate a ML-KEM (formerly Kyber) certificate.Bash# 1. Generate a Post-Quantum Private Key (using ML-KEM-768)

openssl genpkey -algorithm mlkem768 -out pq_server.key



# 2. Generate a CSR

openssl req -new -key pq_server.key -out pq_server.csr -subj "/CN=wayfinders.coop"



# 3. Sign the certificate (Self-signed for this example)

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in pq_server.csr -signkey pq_server.key -out pq_server.crt

Note: Ensure your OpenSSL build has the oqs provider enabled in openssl.cnf.2. Nginx "Dual-Stack" ConfigurationNginx supports multiple certificate files. Browsers that support PQC (like Chromium 124+) will negotiate the PQ handshake, while older clients will fallback to the RSA/ECDSA certificate.Edit your Nginx site config:Nginxserver {

EXODUS 39



[32] Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation

finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD

commanded Moses, so did they.

[33] And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his

furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his

sockets,

[34] And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers'

skins, and the vail of the covering,

[35] The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,

[36] The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,

[37] The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be

set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,

[38] And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and

the hanging for the tabernacle door,

[39] The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his

vessels, the laver and his foot,

[40] The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the

hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of

the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,

[41] The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy

garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the

priest's office.

[42] According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of

Israel made all the work.

[43] And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they have done it as

the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.



EXODUS 40



The Tabernacle Erected



1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Ex 13:4; 26:30) On the first day of the first month you shall set up

the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

3 (Nu 4:5; Ex 35:12) You shall put the ark of the testimony in it

and screen the ark with the veil.

4 You shall bring in the table

and arrange the things that are to be arranged on it,

and you shall bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.

5 You shall set the gold altar of incense before the ark of the testimony

and put the curtain for the entrance to the tabernacle.

6 (Ex 40:29) You shall set the altar of the burnt offering in front

of the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

7 You shall set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar

and put water in it.

8 You shall set up the courtyard around it and hang up the curtain

at the courtyard gate.

9 (Lev 8:10) You shall take the anointing oil

and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it and shall consecrate

it and all its furnishings, and it shall be holy.

10 (Ex 29:36 - 37) Then you shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering

and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, and the altar shall be

most holy.

11 You shall anoint the basin and its stand, and consecrate it.

12 (Lev 8:1 - 13) Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance

of the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

13 (Ex 28:41) You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him

and consecrate him, so that he may minister to Me as a priest.

14 You shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics.

15 (Nu 25:13) Then you shall anoint them just as you anointed their father,

so that they may minister to Me as priests, for their anointing will

surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

16 Thus Moses did. According to all that the Lord commanded him, so he did.

17 (Nu 7:1) In the first month of the second year,

on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected.

18 Moses erected the tabernacle and fastened its sockets,

and set up its boards, and inserted its bars, and erected its pillars.

19 Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering

of the tent on top of it, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

20 (Ex 16:34) He took the testimony and put it into the ark,

attached the poles to the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark.

21 (Ex 26:33; 40:3) And he brought the ark into the tabernacle,

and set up the veil of the screening, and screened the ark of the testimony,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

22 (Ex 26:35) Then he put the table in the tent of meeting on the north side

of the tabernacle outside the veil.

23 (Ex 25:30; 40:4) He set the bread in order on it before the Lord,

just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

24 And he put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table,

on the south side of the tabernacle.

25 (Ex 25:37; 40:4 ) He lighted the lamps before the Lord,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

26 (Ex 40:5) Then he put the gold altar in the tent

of meeting before the veil.

27 (Ex 30:7) And he burned fragrant incense on it,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

28 (Ex 40:5) Then he set up the curtain at the entrance of the tabernacle.

29 (Ex 40:6) He put the altar of burnt offering by the entrance

of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting and offered

on it the burnt offering and the grain offering,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

30 (Ex 40:7) Then he set the basin between the tent of meeting

and the altar and put water in it for washing.

31 It was there Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands

and their feet.

32 Whenever they went into the tent of meeting,

and whenever they came near the altar, they washed,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

33 (Ex 40:8; 27:9 - 16) He erected the courtyard

all around the tabernacle and the altar,

and set up the curtain of the courtyard gate.

So Moses finished the work.



Exodus 40

[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of

the tent of the congregation.

[3] And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark

with the vail.

[4] And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are

to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and

light the lamps thereof.

[5] And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of

the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

[6] And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of

the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

[7] And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and

the altar, and shalt put water therein.

[8] And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at

the court gate.

[9] And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and

all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and

it shall be holy.

[10] And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his

vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.

[11] And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.

[12] And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle

of the congregation, and wash them with water.

[13] And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and

sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

[14] And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

[15] And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that

they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall

surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

[16] Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did

he.

[17] And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first

day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.

[18] And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set

up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his

pillars.

[19] And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering

of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[20] And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on

the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

[21] And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the

covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[22] And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of

the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

[23] And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had

commanded Moses.

[24] And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over

against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

[25] And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[26] And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the

vail:

[27] And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[28] And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

[29] And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of

the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the

meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[30] And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the

altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

[31] And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet

thereat:

[32] When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came

near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[33] And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar,

and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.



The Glory of the Lord



34 (Nu 9:15 - 23; Rev 15:8) Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting,

and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

35 (1Ki 8:11) Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting

because the cloud settled on it,

and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

36 (Ne 9:19; Nu 9:17) When the cloud was lifted up from over the tabernacle,

the children of Israel would set out in all their journeys.

37 (Nu 9:19 - 22) But if the cloud was not lifted up,

then they did not set out until the day that it was lifted.

38 (Ex 13:21; Nu 9:15) For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day,

and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel,

throughout all their journeys.



[34] Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the

LORD filled the tabernacle.

[35] And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation,

because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the

tabernacle.

[36] And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children

of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

[37] But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the

day that it was taken up.

[38] For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was

on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all

their journeys.

Psalm 4



PSALMS 4

For the Music Director. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David.

1 Hear me when I call,

O God of my righteousness!

You have given me relief when I was in distress;

have mercy on me, and hear my prayer.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) O people, how long will you turn my glory into shame?

How long will you love vanity and seek after lies? Selah

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Know that the Lord set apart the faithful for Himself;

the Lord hears when I call to Him.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Tremble in awe, and do not sin.

Commune with your own heart on your bed,

and be still. Selah

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Offer sacrifices of righteousness,

and trust in the Lord.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Many are saying, "Who will show us any good?"

Lift up the light of Your face over us.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) You have placed gladness in my heart

that is better than when their corn and their new wine abound.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I will both lie down in peace and sleep;

for You, Lord,

make me dwell safely and securely.



Psalms 4

[1] Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me

when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

[2] O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long

will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.

[3] But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the

LORD will hear when I call unto him.

[4] Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed,

and be still. Selah.

[5] Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.

[6] There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up

the light of thy countenance upon us.

[7] Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their

corn and their wine increased.

[8] I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest

me dwell in safety.



In his 1985 book Generation to Generation, family therapist and Rabbi Edwin

Friedman introduced the phrase "a nonanxious presence." Friedman's thesis,

later articulated in A Failure of Nerve, is that "the climate of contemporary

America has become so chronically anxious that our society has gone into an

emotional regression that is toxic to well-defined leadership." Friedman

focused on how chronic anxiety spreads within a system - a family,

a workplace, a congregation. Yet in the same way, a leader can offer a

nonanxious presence that will spread through a system, becoming a person

of peace in the middle of a storm.



Psalm 4 is a psalm of David, written in the middle of one of life's storms.

David was in the grip of anxiety. So he cried out to God, "Give me relief

from my distress; have mercy on me and hear my prayer" (v. 1). While he was

fearful for his life, he was also aware that his followers were fearful too:

"Many, Lord, are asking, 'Who will bring us prosperity?'" (v. 6).



David's decision to trust God created a nonanxious presence in the presence

of anxiety! "In peace I will lie down and sleep," he said. David could rest

because "you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety" (v. 8-).



We too can rest in the nonanxious presence God provides.

We can spread His peace wherever we go.



Reflect & Pray



What's a current situation causing you anxiety?

What would it look like to lead with a nonanxious presence?



You alone, God of peace, are my safety. May my

trust in You encourage others to do the same.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 5 When you pray



Mark 11:25



25 And when you stand praying, forgive if you have anything against anyone,

so that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your sins.



25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any:

that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.



"My prayer don't seem to be very effective," a man told his pastor." I try

to make contact with God, but my prayers seem to hit the ceiling and bounce

back."

The pastor thought for a moment, then gently suggested,

"Is there someone in your life you haven't forgiven?"

"What do you mean?" The man's face flushed; the pastor has obviuosly struck

a nerve. "Well, I guess I've had some struggles with my mother ... and then,

my wife, and I ... ." The hidden truth came to light: the man was bound in

unforgiving relationships with five of the closest people to him.

Forgiveness is an essential element in prayer. For a very good reason,

worship services in liturgical churches place the confession of sin and the

absolution near the beginning of the service, before the reading of God's

Word, prayer, and the sermon. Forgiveness - both the Lord's forgiveness

of us and our forgiveness of others - clears the way for unhindered

communication between God and his people.

When we carry anger and bitterness, or even deeply buried, well-subliminated

unforgiveness, into the presence of God, our prayers will be affected. We can,

however, free the Holy Spirit to work in our lives and the lives of others

through forgiveness. We can choose to forgive in light of God's forgiveness

of us. And when we do, the channels are re-established;

we can pray in power and open ourselves to an awareness of his activity

in our lives.



Application



a) Have my prayers ever been affected by unforgiveness in my life?



b) Is there someone in my life whom I need to forgive,

whether or not I can work toward?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



2 Cor 9:8,11



8 God is able to make all grace abound toward you,

so that you, always having enough of everything,

may abound to every good work.

11 So you will be enriched in everything to all bountifulness,

which makes us give thanks to God.



8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having

all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

11 being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through

us thanksgiving to God.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are Facing Pain and Suffering



Ps 9:9-12



9 The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

a refuge in times of trouble.

10 Those who know Your name will put their trust in You,

for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

11 Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion;

declare His deeds among the people.

12 He who avenges deaths remembers them;

He does not forget the cry of the humble.



Waw

9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed,

A refuge in times of trouble.

10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee:

For thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.

Zain

11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion:

Declare among the people his doings.

12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them:

He forgetteth not the cry of the humble.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13





9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

Day 43 of My 6th Bible Study Journey - 12 February 2026 reflections Part 1

Day 43, 12 Feb 2026



1) Exodus 39 , Exodus 40





EXODUS 39



Making the Priestly Garments



1 (Ex 31:10; 35:19; 35:23) Now from the blue, purple, and scarlet

they made woven garments for serving in the holy place and made

the holy garments for Aaron, just as the Lord commanded Moses.





[1] And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service,

to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as

the LORD commanded Moses.



Making the Ephod

Ex 28:6-14



2 (Ex 28:6-12 ) He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet,

and fine twisted linen.

3 Then they hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into threads

to work them into the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen,

with skillful work.

4 They made shoulder pieces for it, in order to attach it together.

It was joined by the two edges together.

5 The skillfully woven waistband of his ephod that was on it was like it,

of the same material, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet,

and fine twisted linen, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

6 (Ex 28:9) They set the onyx stones enclosed in gold filigree settings;

they were engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names

of the children of Israel.

7 (Ex 28:12; Jos 4:7) And he put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod,

to be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.



[2] And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine

twined linen.

[3] And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to

work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine

linen, with cunning work.

[4] They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges

was it coupled together.

[5] And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same,

according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and

fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[6] And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as

signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.

[7] And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be

stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded

Moses.



Making the Breastplate

Ex 28:15-28



8 He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman,

like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet,

and fine twisted linen.

9 It was square. They made the breastplate folded double, a span

(About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters.)

long and a span wide when doubled.

10 They set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz,

and carbuncle was the first row;

11 the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;

12 the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper.

They were enclosed in settings of gold filigree.

14 (Rev 21:12) The stones were corresponding to

the names of the children of Israel, twelve,

corresponding to their names,

like the engravings of a signet,

each with its name,

corresponding to the twelve tribes.

(Reminders and Memorials)

15 They made on the breastplate braided chains like cords of pure gold.

16 They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings

and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

17 They put the two braided chains of gold in

the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

18 The other two ends of the two braided chains they fastened

in the two filigree settings and put them on the shoulder pieces

of the ephod at the front of it.

19 They made two rings of gold and put them on

the two ends of the breastplate,

on the edge of it which was on the inner side of the ephod.

20 They made two other golden rings and put them on the two sides

of the ephod underneath, toward the front of it,

over against where it joined,

above the waistband of the ephod.

21 They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod

with a blue cord, so that it might be above the waistband of the ephod,

and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.



[8] And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod;

of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

[9] It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the

length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.

[10] And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a

topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.

[11] And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

[12] And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

[13] And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed

in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

[14] And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel,

twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one

with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

[15] And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work

of pure gold.

[16] And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two

rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

[17] And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the

ends of the breastplate.

[18] And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two

ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.

[19] And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the

breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod

inward.

[20] And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of

the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other

coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

[21] And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the

ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the

ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the

LORD commanded Moses.



Making Other Priestly Garments

Ex 28:31 - 43



22 Then he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

23 There was an opening in the middle of the robe,

like the opening of a coat of mail,

with a band all around the opening so that it should not be torn.

24 They made on the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple,

and scarlet, and twisted linen.

25 They made bells of pure gold and put the bells between

the pomegranates all around on the hem of the robe.

26 There was a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate,

all around about the hem of the robe to be used in service,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.

27 (Eze 44:18) They made tunics of finely woven linen

for Aaron and his sons,

28 (Ex 28:4) and the turban of fine linen,

and the decorated caps of fine linen,

and linen breeches of fine twisted linen.

29 The sash was of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet,

the work of an embroiderer, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold

and wrote on it an inscription, like the engravings of a signet:

HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

31 They attached to it a blue cord, to fasten it to the turban above,

just as the Lord commanded Moses.



[22] And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

[23] And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an

habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.

[24] And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and

purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

[25] And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the

pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

[26] A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem

of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[27] And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his

sons,

[28] And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen

breeches of fine twined linen,

[29] And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet,

of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.

[30] And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon

it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

[31] And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the

mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.



The Work Completed

Ex 35:10-19



32 (Ex 39:42-43; 25:40) Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent

of meeting was finished, and the children of Israel did according to all

that the Lord commanded Moses - so they did.

33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings:

its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets;

34 and the covering of rams' skins dyed red,

and the covering of porpoise skins, and the screening veil;

35 the ark of the testimony and its poles and the mercy seat;

36 the table, and all its utensils, and the showbread;

37 the pure gold lampstand, with its arrangement of lamps,

and all its utensils, and the oil for the light;

38 (Ex 30:7) and the gold altar, and the anointing oil,

and the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;

39 the bronze altar, and its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils,

the basin and its stand;

40 the hangings of the courtyard, its pillars, and its sockets,

and the curtain for the courtyard gate, its cords, and its pegs,

and all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle,

for the tent of meeting;

41 the woven garments of service to do service in the holy place,

and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and his sons' garments,

to minister as priests.

42 (Ex 35:10) The children of Israel did all the work according

to all that the Lord commanded Moses.

43 (Lev 9:22 - 23; Nu 6:23 - 27) Moses looked over all the work,

and indeed they had done it; as the Lord had commanded,

so they had done. Then Moses blessed them.
