ease, And with the contempt of the proud.
PSALMS 124
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
1 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
now may Israel say,
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) if it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
when men rose up against us,
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) then they would have swallowed us up,
when their wrath was kindled againstus;
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) then the flood would have overwhelmedus,
the torrent would have passed over our lives;
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) then the surging waters
would have gone over us.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Blessed be the Lord,
who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) We have escaped
as a bird out of the snare of the hunters;

and we have escaped.

against us:
[3] Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled
against us:
[4] Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
[5] Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
[6] Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
[7] Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare
is broken, and we are escaped.
[8] Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Psalms 125
A Song of Ascents.

so the Lord surrounds His people,
from now and forever.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For the scepter of the wicked shall not rest
upon the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous put forth
their hands to do iniquity.

Lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity.
[4] Do good, O LORD,
Unto those that be good, and to them that are upright in their hearts.

them forth with the workers of iniquity: But peace shall be upon Israel.

Psalms 129
A Song of Ascents.
1 "Often they have afflicted me from my youth," may Israel now say,
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) "often they have afflicted me from my youth,
yet they have not prevailed against me.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) The plowmen plowed upon my back;
they made their furrows long."
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) The Lord is righteous;
He has cut the cords of the wicked.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Let all those be shamed and turned back who hate Zion.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Let them be as the grass on the housetops,
which withers before it even grows,
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) where the reaper is unable to fill his hand,
or he who binds sheaves, his arms.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Neither do they who pass by say,
"The blessing of the Lord be upon you; we bless you in the name of the Lord!"
Psalm 129
A Song of degrees.
[1] Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth, May Israel now say:
[2] Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth:
Yet they have not prevailed against me.
[3] The plowers plowed upon my back: They made long their furrows.
[4] The LORD is righteous: He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.
[5] Let them all be confounded and turned back That hate Zion.
[6] Let them be as the grass upon the housetops,
Which withereth afore it groweth up:
[7] Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand;
Nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.
[8] Neither do they which go by say, the blessing of the LORD be upon you:
We bless you in the name of the LORD.
Psalms 130
A Song of Ascents.
1 From the depths I call on You, O Lord!
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) O Lord, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive
to the sound of my supplications.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) If you, O Lord, should keep track of iniquities,
O Lord, who shall stand?
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For there is forgiveness with You,
that You may be feared.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I wait for the Lord, with bated breath I wait;
I long for His Word!
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) My soul waits for the Lord,
more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Let Israel wait for the Lord!

To the voice of my supplications.

[4] But there is forgiveness with thee, That thou mayest be feared.
[5] I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.
[6] My soul waiteth for the Lord More than they that watch for the morning:
I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
[7] Let Israel hope in the LORD: For with the LORD there is mercy,
And with him is plenteous redemption.
[8] And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
2) Our Daily Bread for 19 April 2024 titled
The Valley of Praise
2 Chronicles 20:21-26
21 (1Ch 16:29; 16:34) And he consulted with the people and then appointed
singers for the Lord and those praising Him in holy attire as they went
before those equipped for battle saying,
"Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever."
22 (Jdg 7:22; 2Ch 13:13) When they began singing and praising, the Lord set
ambushes against Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah;
so they were defeated.
23 (Jdg 7:22; 1Sa 14:20) Then the Ammonites and Moabites stood up against
those dwelling from Mount Seir to destroy and finish them. Then when they made
an end of the inhabitants of Seir, each man attacked his companion
to destroy each other.
24 And Judah came to the watchtower of the wilderness, and they turned
to the vast army and saw only corpses lying on the ground.
And no one was spared.
25 Then Jehoshaphat and his people came to gather their plunder,
and they found among them an abundance of riches with the corpses,
and precious jewelry, which they took for themselves, more than they
could carry. They were gathering the plunder for three days
because there was so much to carry.
26 On the fourth day they gathered at the Valley of Berakah,
because there they blessed the Lord. For this reason people have called
the name of this place the Valley of Berakah until this day.
[21] And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto
the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out
before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for
ever.
[22] And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments
against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against
Judah; and they were smitten.
[23] For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of
mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end
of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
[24] And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they
looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the
earth, and none escaped.
[25] And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of
them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies,
and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they
could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was
so much.
[26] And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of
Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same
place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
Poet William Cowper struggled with depression much of his life.
After a suicide attempt, he was committed to an asylum. But it was
there through the care of a Christian physician that Cowper came to a warm,
vital faith in Jesus. Soon afterwards, Cowper became acquainted with pastor
and hymnwriter John Newton, who encouraged him to collaborate on a hymnal
for their church. Among the hymns Cowper wrote
was "God Moves in a Mysterious Way," which contains these words pressed
from the crucible of experience: "You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds you so much dread, are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head."
Like Cowper, the people of Judah also met God's kindness unexpectedly.
As an alliance of armies invaded their nation, King Jehoshaphat gathered
the people for prayer. As Judah's army marched out, men in the front
ranks praised God (2 Chronicles 20:21). The invading armies turned
on themselves, and "no one . . . escaped. . . .
There was so much plunder that it took three days to collect it" (vv. 24-25).
On the fourth day, the very place where a hostile invading force gathered
against God's people was dubbed the Valley of Berakah (v. 26)-literally,
"the valley of praise" or "blessing." What a change! God's mercy can
turn even our most difficult valleys into places of praise as we give them
to Him.
By: James Banks
Reflect & Pray
How have you seen God bring good out of difficulty in your life?
What can you thank Him for today?
I praise You, loving God, that no valley is deeper than Your love.
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 6 Humility and Exaltation
1 Peter 5:6-7
6 (Jas 4:10; Mt 23:12) Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that He may exalt you in due time.
7 (Ps 55:22; 37:5) Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time:
7 casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
"I was so humble I was given an award for humility," the pastor quipped.
"They gave me a humility plaque - but they had to take it back when I hung it
on my office wall."
Humility is rare among 20th Century Christians. Our pride takes two
seemingly contradictory forms: Self-exaltation and self-denial. But both
focus on self, not on God.
Francois Fenelon, 17th century French archbishop, From his
"Letters of Spiritual Counsel" wrote:
"He who so completely forget himself that he never thinks of self ... is
truly humble. If we had the light to discern it, we should see clearly that
when we think we are humbling ourselves we are exalting ourselves;
when we think we are annihilating ourselves we are seeking out own life."
True humility, as Fenelon implies, means recognising who we are in the light
of who God is. Excess of self-importance and low self-esteem are both
self-centered perspectives; true humility is God-centered.
When we humble ourselves, we become intensely aware of God and less
aware of ourselves. We can focus on his face and get our eyes off our own
image. We can stop worrying about how others perceive us. Such humbling
is difficult - as one 70-year-old saint joked, "It ain't the heat that gets
you, it's the humility." But when we submit to him and fell the weight of the
"Mighty hand of God" upon us, we can forget ourselves, abandon
ourselves to his presence, and cast our cares upon him.
Application
a) What form does my pride usually take - self-exaltation or self-degradation?
b) Why must I humble myself in order for the Lord to lift me up?
c) How can today's verse encourage me when times are tough?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Is 48:15,17
15 I, even I, have spoken, and I have called him;
I have brought him, and his way will prosper.
17 (Ps 32:8; Isa 43:14) Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit,
who leads you in the way you should go.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him:
I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit,
which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

but it shall not come near you.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Only with your eyes shall you behold

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,

12 They shall bear you up in their hands,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.
13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder;
the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

But it shall not come nigh thee.

And see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,
Even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee,
Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee,
To keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands,
Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him,

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)
Manitoba
Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba
Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000
est Muslim Population 21 349
CNMM Networks: Winnipeg
The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very
diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting
it might be twice that size.
Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size
of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.
Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth
of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.
We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers
among Muslims in Winnipeg.
Let us intercede in unity for:
- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population
- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim
communities around them, as well as training new workers
- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim
background believers and for effectiveness in outreach
- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground
in the face of opposition to her new faith.
- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged
with great support

2) Our Daily Bread for 19 April 2024 titled
The Valley of Praise
2 Chronicles 20:21-26
21 (1Ch 16:29; 16:34) And he consulted with the people and then appointed
singers for the Lord and those praising Him in holy attire as they went
before those equipped for battle saying,
"Praise the Lord, for His mercy endures forever."
22 (Jdg 7:22; 2Ch 13:13) When they began singing and praising, the Lord set
ambushes against Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah;
so they were defeated.
23 (Jdg 7:22; 1Sa 14:20) Then the Ammonites and Moabites stood up against
those dwelling from Mount Seir to destroy and finish them. Then when they made
an end of the inhabitants of Seir, each man attacked his companion
to destroy each other.
24 And Judah came to the watchtower of the wilderness, and they turned
to the vast army and saw only corpses lying on the ground.
And no one was spared.
25 Then Jehoshaphat and his people came to gather their plunder,
and they found among them an abundance of riches with the corpses,
and precious jewelry, which they took for themselves, more than they
could carry. They were gathering the plunder for three days
because there was so much to carry.
26 On the fourth day they gathered at the Valley of Berakah,
because there they blessed the Lord. For this reason people have called
the name of this place the Valley of Berakah until this day.
[21] And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto
the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out
before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for
ever.
[22] And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments
against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against
Judah; and they were smitten.
[23] For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of
mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end
of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.
[24] And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they
looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the
earth, and none escaped.
[25] And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of
them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies,
and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they
could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was
so much.
[26] And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of
Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same
place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.
Poet William Cowper struggled with depression much of his life.
After a suicide attempt, he was committed to an asylum. But it was
there through the care of a Christian physician that Cowper came to a warm,
vital faith in Jesus. Soon afterwards, Cowper became acquainted with pastor
and hymnwriter John Newton, who encouraged him to collaborate on a hymnal
for their church. Among the hymns Cowper wrote
was "God Moves in a Mysterious Way," which contains these words pressed
from the crucible of experience: "You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds you so much dread, are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head."
Like Cowper, the people of Judah also met God's kindness unexpectedly.
As an alliance of armies invaded their nation, King Jehoshaphat gathered
the people for prayer. As Judah's army marched out, men in the front
ranks praised God (2 Chronicles 20:21). The invading armies turned
on themselves, and "no one . . . escaped. . . .
There was so much plunder that it took three days to collect it" (vv. 24-25).
On the fourth day, the very place where a hostile invading force gathered
against God's people was dubbed the Valley of Berakah (v. 26)-literally,
"the valley of praise" or "blessing." What a change! God's mercy can
turn even our most difficult valleys into places of praise as we give them
to Him.
By: James Banks
Reflect & Pray
How have you seen God bring good out of difficulty in your life?
What can you thank Him for today?
I praise You, loving God, that no valley is deeper than Your love.
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 6 Humility and Exaltation
1 Peter 5:6-7
6 (Jas 4:10; Mt 23:12) Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that He may exalt you in due time.
7 (Ps 55:22; 37:5) Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time:
7 casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
"I was so humble I was given an award for humility," the pastor quipped.
"They gave me a humility plaque - but they had to take it back when I hung it
on my office wall."
Humility is rare among 20th Century Christians. Our pride takes two
seemingly contradictory forms: Self-exaltation and self-denial. But both
focus on self, not on God.
Francois Fenelon, 17th century French archbishop, From his
"Letters of Spiritual Counsel" wrote:
"He who so completely forget himself that he never thinks of self ... is
truly humble. If we had the light to discern it, we should see clearly that
when we think we are humbling ourselves we are exalting ourselves;
when we think we are annihilating ourselves we are seeking out own life."
True humility, as Fenelon implies, means recognising who we are in the light
of who God is. Excess of self-importance and low self-esteem are both
self-centered perspectives; true humility is God-centered.
When we humble ourselves, we become intensely aware of God and less
aware of ourselves. We can focus on his face and get our eyes off our own
image. We can stop worrying about how others perceive us. Such humbling
is difficult - as one 70-year-old saint joked, "It ain't the heat that gets
you, it's the humility." But when we submit to him and fell the weight of the
"Mighty hand of God" upon us, we can forget ourselves, abandon
ourselves to his presence, and cast our cares upon him.
Application
a) What form does my pride usually take - self-exaltation or self-degradation?
b) Why must I humble myself in order for the Lord to lift me up?
c) How can today's verse encourage me when times are tough?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Is 48:15,17
15 I, even I, have spoken, and I have called him;
I have brought him, and his way will prosper.
17 (Ps 32:8; Isa 43:14) Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit,
who leads you in the way you should go.
15 I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him:
I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
17 Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel;
I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit,
which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)
Manitoba
Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba
Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000
est Muslim Population 21 349
CNMM Networks: Winnipeg
The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very
diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting
it might be twice that size.
Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size
of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.
Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth
of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.
We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers
among Muslims in Winnipeg.
Let us intercede in unity for:
- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population
- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim
communities around them, as well as training new workers
- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim
background believers and for effectiveness in outreach
- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground
in the face of opposition to her new faith.
- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged
with great support
