Proverbs 22-24



Proverbs 22

1 (Ecc 7:1) A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,

and loving favor rather than silver and gold.

2 (Job 31:15; Pr 14:31) The rich and poor have this in common,

the Lord is the maker of them all.

3 (Pr 14:16; 27:12) A prudent man foresees the evil and hides himself,

but the simple pass on and are punished.

4 (Pr 21:21) By humility and the fear of the Lord

are riches, and honor, and life.

5 (Pr 15:19; 1Jn 5:18) Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;

he who guards his soul will be far from them.

6 (Eph 6:4; 2Ti 3:15) Train up a child in the way he should go,

and when he is old he will not depart from it.

7 (Jas 2:6; Pr 18:23 ) The rich rules over the poor,

and the borrower is servant to the lender.

8 (Job 4:8; Ps 125:3 ) He who sows iniquity will reap vanity,

and the rod of his anger will fail.

9 (Pr 19:17; Heb 13:16 ) He who has a bountiful eye will be blessed,

for he gives of his bread to the poor.

10 (Ge 21:9-10) Cast out the scorner, and contention will go out;

yes, strife and reproach will cease.

11 (Pr 16:13; Mt 5:8) He who loves pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips

the king will be his friend.

12 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge,

and He overthrows the words of the transgressor.

13 The slothful man says, "There is a lion without!

I will be slain in the streets!"

14 (Pr 23:27; Ecc 7:26) The mouth of an immoral woman is a deep pit;

he who is detested by the Lord will fall therein.

15 (Pr 13:24; 19:18; 23:13-14) Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child,

but the rod of correction will drive it far from him.

16 (Jas 2:13) He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches,

and he who gives to the rich, will surely come to want.



Thirty Sayings of the Wise



Saying One



17 (Pr 23:12 ) Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,

and apply your heart to my knowledge;

18 (Pr 2:10) for it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you;

they will readily be fitted in your lips.

19 (Pr 3:5 ) That your trust may be in the Lord,

I have made known to you this day, even to you.

20 (Pr 8:6 ) Have I not written to you excellent things

in counsels and knowledge,

21 (Lk 1:3-4; 1Pe 3:15 ) that I might make you know the certainty

of the words of truth,

that you might answer the words of truth

to those who send to you?



Saying Two



22 (Ex 23:6; Zec 7:10) Do not rob the poor because he is poor,

neither oppress the afflicted in the gate;

23 (1Sa 25:39; Ps 12:5) for the Lord will plead their cause,

and spoil the soul of those who spoiled them.



Saying Three



24 (Pr 29:22) Make no friendship with an angry man,

and with a furious man you will not go,

25 (1Co 15:33) lest you learn his ways

and get a snare to your soul.



Saying Four



26 (Pr 11:15; 17:18) Do not be one of those who shakes hands in a pledge,

or of those who use securities for debts;

why should he take away your bed from under you?



Saying Five

he will not stand before obscure men.



Proverbs 23

consider diligently what is before you;

2 and put a knife to your throat,

if you are a man given to appetite.

3 (Pr 23:6; Ps 141:4) Be not desirous of his delicacies,

for they are deceptive food.



Saying Eight



4 (Pr 28:20; 3:5) Do not labor to be rich;

cease from your own wisdom.

For riches certainly make themselves wings;

they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.



Saying Nine



6 (Ps 141:4; Dt 15:9) Do not eat the bread of him who has an evil eye,

neither desire his delicacies;

7 (Ps 12:2; Jdg 16:15) for as he thinks in his heart,

so is he.

"Eat and drink!" he says to you,

but his heart is not with you.

for he will despise the wisdom of your words.

11 (Pr 22:23; Job 19:25) for their Redeemer is mighty;

He will plead their cause with you.



Saying Twelve



12 Apply your heart to instruction,

and your ears to the words of knowledge.



Saying Thirteen

and deliver his soul from death.

when your lips speak right things.



Saying Fifteen



17 (Pr 28:14; 24:1) Do not let your heart envy sinners,

but continue in the fear of the Lord all day long;

18 (Ps 9:18; Pr 24:14) for surely there is an end,

and your expectation will not be cut off.



Saying Sixteen



19 Hear, my son, and be wise;

and guide your heart in the way.

20 (Isa 5:22; Ro 13:13) Do not be among winebibbers,

among riotous eaters of meat;

21 (Pr 21:17; Dt 21:20) for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,

and drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.



Saying Seventeen



22 (Pr 1:8; 30:17) Listen to your father who gave you life,

and she who bore you will rejoice.



Saying Eighteen



26 My son, give me your heart,

and let your eyes observe my ways.

27 (Pr 22:14) For a prostitute is a deep ditch,

and a seductress is a narrow pit.

28 (Pr 7:12; Ecc 7:26) She also lies in wait as for a prey,

and increases the transgressors among men.



Saying Nineteen



29 (Ge 49:12; Pr 23:21) Who has woe? Who has sorrow?

Who has contentions? Who has babbling?

Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?

30 (Ps 75:8; Isa 5:11) Those who tarry long at the wine,

those who go to seek mixed wine.

31 Do not look on the wine when it is red,

when it sparkles in the cup,

when it swirls around smoothly;

32 at the last it bites like a serpent,

and stings like a viper.

33 Your eyes will see strange things,

and your heart will utter perverse things.

34 Yes, you will be as he who lies down in the midst of the sea,

or as he who lies upon the top of a mast.

35 (Isa 56:12; Jer 5:3) "They have stricken me," you will say,

"and I was not sick;

they have beaten me, and I did not feel it.

When will I awake?

I will seek it yet again."



Proverbs 24



Saying Twenty



1 (Ps 37:1; Pr 3:31) Do not be envious against evil men,

nor desire to be with them;

2 (Ps 10:7; Job 15:35) for their heart studies destruction,

and their lips talk of mischief.



Saying Twenty-One



3 (Pr 14:1; 9:1) Through wisdom is a house built,

and by understanding it is established;

4 and by knowledge the rooms will be filled

with all precious and pleasant riches.

yes, a man of knowledge increases strength.

and in multitude of counselors there is safety.



Saying Twenty-Three



7 (Pr 14:6; Ps 10:5) Wisdom is too high for a fool;

he does not open his mouth in the gate.



Saying Twenty-Four



8 (Ro 1:30; Pr 6:14) He who devises to do evil

will be called a schemer of plots.

9 (Mt 15:19; Ac 8:22) The thought of foolishness is sin,

and the scorner is an abomination to men.



Saying Twenty-Five



10 (Job 4:5) If you faint in the day of adversity,

your strength is small.

11 (Ps 82:4; Isa 58:6-7) If you refrain to deliver those

who are drawn unto death,

and those who are ready to be slain;

12 (Job 34:11; 1Sa 16:7) if you say, "Surely we did not know this,"

does not He who ponders the heart consider it?

And He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?

And will He not render to every man according to his works?



Saying Twenty-Six



13 (SS 5:1; Pr 25:16) My son, eat honey because it is good,

and the honeycomb that is sweet to your taste;

14 (Pr 23:18; Ps 119:103) so shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul;

when you have found it, then there will be a reward,

and your expectation will not be cut off.



Saying Twenty-Seven



15 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;

do not spoil his resting place;

16 (Job 5:19; Ps 37:24) for a just man falls seven times and rises up again,

but the wicked will fall into mischief.



Saying Twenty-Eight



17 (Job 31:29; Ps 35:15) Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,

and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles;

18 lest the Lord see it, and it displease Him,

and He turn away His wrath from him.



Saying Twenty-Nine



19 (Ps 37:1; Pr 24:1) Do not fret because of evil men,

nor be envious of the wicked;

20 (Pr 13:9; Job 18:5-6) for there will be no reward to the evil man;

the candle of the wicked will be put out.



Saying Thirty



21 (Ro 13:1-7) My son, fear the Lord and the king;

and do not meddle with those who are given to change;

22 for their calamity will rise suddenly,

and who knows the ruin of them both?



More Sayings of the Wise



23 (Pr 18:5; 28:21) These things also belong to the wise:

It is not good to show partiality in judgment.

24 (Pr 17:15; 11:26) He who says to the wicked, "You are righteous,"

him the people will curse; nations will abhor him.

25 (Pr 28:23) But to those who rebuke him will be delight,

and a good blessing will come upon them.

26 Every man will kiss his lips

that gives a right answer.

27 Prepare your work outside,

and make it fit for yourself in the field;

and afterwards build your house.

28 (Eph 4:25; Pr 25:18) Do not be a witness

against your neighbor without cause,

and do not deceive with your lips.

29 (Pr 20:22) Do not say, "I will do so to him as he has done to me;

I will render to the man according to his work."

30 I went by the field of the slothful,

and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding;

31 and it was all grown over with thorns,

and nettles covered its surface,

and the stone wall was broken down.

32 Then I saw, and considered it;

I looked on it and received instruction:

33 Yet a little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the hands to sleep,

34 (Pr 10:4) so your poverty will come like a stalker,

and your need as an armed man.



2) Our Daily Bread for 9 June 2021

https://odb.org/US/2021/06/09/spiritual-adulting

entitled Moving Toward Maturity



Eph 4:11-16



11 (Ac 21:8; 13:1) He gave some to be apostles, prophets,

evangelists, pastors, and teachers,

12 (1Co 12:27; Eph 1:23) for the equipping of the saints,

for the work of service, and for the building up of the body of Christ,

13 (Eph 4:5; 1:23) until we all come into the unity of the faith and

of the knowledge of the Son of God, into a complete man,

to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

14 (Jas 1:6; 1Co 14:20) so we may no longer be children, tossed here

and there by waves and carried about with every wind of doctrine

by the trickery of men, by craftiness with deceitful scheming.

15 (Eph 1:22; 2:21) But, speaking the truth in love, we may grow

up in all things into Him, who is the head, Christ Himself,

16 (Col 2:19; Eph 1:4) from whom the whole body is joined together

and connected by every joint and ligament, as every part effectively

does its work and grows, building itself up in love.



A recent survey asked respondents to identify the age at which they believed

they became adults. Those who considered themselves adults pointed to specific

behaviours as evidence of their status. Having a budget and buying a house

topped the list as being marks of "adulting." Other adult activities ranged

from cooking dinner every weeknight and scheduling one's own medical

appointments, to the more humorous ability to choose to eat snacks for dinner

or being excited to stay at home on a Saturday evening instead of going out.



The Bible says we should press on toward spiritual maturity as well.

Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus, urging the people to "become mature,

attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4:13).

While we're "young" in our faith, we're vulnerable

to "every wind of teaching" (v. 14), which often results in division among

us. Instead, as we mature in our understanding of the truth, we function

as a unified body under "him who is the head, that is, Christ" (v. 15).



God gave us His Spirit to help us grow into a full understanding of who

He is (John 14:26), and He equips pastors and teachers to instruct

and lead us toward maturity in our faith (Ephesians 4:11–12).

Just as certain characteristics are evidence of physical maturity,

our unity as His body is evidence of our spiritual growth.



By: Kirsten Holmberg



Reflect & Pray



In what ways are you still vulnerable to "every wind of teaching"?

How can you continue to grow spiritually?



Loving God, You're the author of my growth and maturity.

Please help me to see where my understanding of You

is still immature and teach me more of Your wisdom.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 4 - Entire Forgiveness



Acts 13:38



38 (Lk 24:47; Ac 2:38) "Therefore, brothers, let it be known

to you that through this Man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,"



At age 17 Mary, a cross-country runner, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

She went on to college, faced with the prospect of gradual physical decline

and, ultimately, life in a wheelchair. "The worst part," Mary admitted "is

not the pain or the inability to do what I once did. The worst part is

the hopelessness, the emotional struggle. There is no cure, no real

treatment - only insurance."

In our fallen world, there are many incurable circumstances we have to endure.

But the guilt of our sin is not one of them. Yet despite the declaration

of the Scripture that Jesus' sacrificial death paid the price for our sins,

many of us carry a load of guilt - as if we ourselves had tp pay the price.

Paul, a man who know the grace of God and the depth of his own sin,

emphasises the source and the completeness of our forgiveness.

Through Jesus - not through my good behaviour, not through my determination to

change, not through my reputation, my family's faith, or my religious duties.

Forgiveness of sins come through Christ alone, a gift we do not deserve,

a gift which places all of us on equal ground at the foot of the cross.

To acknowledge our sin without knowing the source of forgiveness only

results in hopelessness and despair - we see ourselves, yet we are powerless

to change the sin we see. But when we realise that Christ has provided

complete forgiveness of sin, we can face our sin honestly, knowing

the freedom of confession and the restoration of forgiveness.



Application



a) In what ways have I changed myself, to "torn over a new leaf",

to "make myself worthy" of God's love?



b) How can Acts 13:18 help me remember the source of forgiveness?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Mark 4:20-25



20 (Mk 4:8; Jn 15:4–5) "Still others are seed sown on good ground,

those who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit:

thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much."



A Light Under a Basket



Lk 8:16–18



21 (Mt 5:15; Lk 8:16) He said to them, "Is a candle brought to be put

under a basket or under a bed and not to be set on a candlestick?

22 (Lk 8:17) For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed;

neither is anything kept secret except to be proclaimed.

23 (Mk 4:9; Mt 11:15)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."

24 (Mt 7:2) He said to them, "Take heed what you hear.

The measure you give will be measured for you,

and to you who hear will more be given.

25 (Mt 13:12; Lk 8:18) For to him who has will more be given.

And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has."



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



God's Help in Times of Temptation



Hebrews 4:14-16



Jesus the Great High Priest



14 (Heb 6:20; 1:2–3) Since then we have a great High Priest

Who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,

let us hold firmly to our confession.

15 (2Co 5:21; Jn 8:46) For we do not have a High Priest

who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses,

but One who was in every sense tempted like we are, yet without sin.

16 (Eph 3:12; Php 4:6–7) Let us then come with confidence

to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy

and find grace to help in time of need.



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?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

os Muslims scattered aound the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are atrracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to releigion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhlem by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has alsways worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- Te people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



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 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) '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.'



- 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, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .

1 Kings 7 ; 2 Chron 4



1 Kings 7

Solomon's Palace Built



1 (1Ki 9:10; 2Ch 8:1) Solomon was building his own house for thirteen years,

and he finished all his house.

2 (1Ki 10:17; 2Ch 9:16( He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon.

Its length was a hundred cubits, and its width was fifty cubits,

and its height was thirty cubits, [About 150 feet long, 7

5 feet wide and 45 feet high,

or 45 meters long, 23 meters wide and 14 meters high. ]

built on four rows of cedar pillars with cedar beams upon the pillars.

3 It was covered with cedar over the top of the beams,

which sat upon 45 pillars, fifteen in a row.

4 There were window frames in three rows and window opposite

window in three tiers.

5 All the doors and posts were rectangular with the openings facing

each other in three tiers.

6 He made a porch of pillars with a length of fifty cubits

and a breadth of thirty cubits.

[About 75 feet long and 45 feet wide, or 23 meters long and 14 meters wide.]

There was a porch in front with pillars, and a canopy in front of them.

7 (Ps 122:5; Pr 20:8) Then he made a porch for the throne,

from which he would judge, and called it the Hall of Judgment.

It was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.

8 (1Ki 3:1; 2Ch 8:11) His own house where he lived, in the other court back

of the hall, was similar in style. Solomon also made a house like this

for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken as a wife.

9 All these were built with costly stones, cut to size and sawed

with saws on the inside and outside, from the foundation up to the coping,

throughout the outside toward the great court.

10 The foundation was of large, costly stones, stones of ten

[About 15 feet, or 4.5 meters; and in v. 23.] and 8

[About 12 feet, or 3.6 meters.] cubits in size.

11 Above were costly stones cut to size, along with cedars.

12 (1Ki 6:36) The great court was enclosed with three rows of hewed

stones and a row of cedar beams. So were the inner court of the house

of the Lord and the porch of the house.



The Furnishings of the Temple



2Ch 4:2–-5:1



13 (2Ch 4:11) Now King Solomon sent and called Huram out of Tyre.

14 (2Ch 2:14; 4:16) He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali,

and his father was a man of Tyre who worked in bronze, and he was filled

with wisdom and understanding and skill to make all sorts of items in bronze.

So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.

15 (Jer 52:21; 1Ki 7:21) He cast two pillars of bronze

eighteen cubits high each and twelve cubits

[About 27 feet high and 18 feet in circumference,

or 8.1 meters high and 5.4 meters in circumference.]

in circumference.

16 He made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars.

The height of the one capital was five cubits,

[About 15 pounds, or 6.9 kilograms; and in v. 29.]

and the height of the other capital was five cubits.

17 He made lattices of checker work with wreaths of chainwork

for the capitals on top of the pillars: seven for one capital

and seven for the other.

18 Likewise he made pomegranates in two rows around

the one latticework to cover the capital that was on the top of the pillar,

and he did the same for the other capital.

19 The capitals that were on top of the pillars in the porch were four cubits

[About 6 feet, or 1.8 meters; and in v. 38. ] high and in the shape of lilies.

20 (2Ch 3:16; 4:13) The capitals on top of the two pillars also had

pomegranates above, by the convex surface which was next to the latticework.

There were two hundred pomegranates in rows encircling each capital.

21 (2Ch 3:17; 1Ki 6:3) He set up the pillars in the porch of the temple.

He set up the right pillar and called it Jakin,

and he set up the left pillar and called it Boaz.

22 The tops of the pillars were in the shape of lilies.

This completed the work on the pillars.

23 (2Ki 25:13; 2Ch 4:2) He made a cast metal sea, ten cubits from one side

to the other. It was round and had a height of five cubits,

and a line of thirty cubits [About 45 feet, or 14 meters.] encircled it.

24 (1Ki 6:18; 2Ch 4:3) Under the brim all the way around there were gourds,

ten in a cubit. When it was cast, the gourds were placed in two rows going

all the way around it.

25 (Jer 52:20; 2Ch 4:4-5) It stood on top of twelve oxen with three facing

north, three facing toward the west, three facing toward the south,

and three facing toward the east. The sea was set on them,

and their hindquarters were turned inward.

26 (2Ch 4:5) It was a hand-breadth [About 3 inches, or 7.5 centimeters].

thick, and the brim was made similar to the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom.

It could hold two thousand baths.[About 12,000 gallons, or 44,000 liters.

27 (2Ch 4:14; 2Ki 25:13) He made ten stands out of bronze,

each measuring four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.

[About 6 feet long and wide and 4 1/2 feet high, or 1.8 meters long

and wide and 1.4 meters high. ]

28 The work of the stands looked like this: They had panels,

and the panels were set in the frames.

29 And on the panels that were set in the frames were lions, oxen,

and cherubim. On the frames both above and below the lions and oxen,

there were wreaths of beveled work.

30 Every stand had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze,

and at the four corners were supports for a basin.

The supports were cast with wreaths at the side of each.

31 Its opening was within a crown that projected upward one cubit.

Its opening was round, like the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half deep.

[About 2 1/4 feet, or 68 centimeters; and in v. 32.]

At its opening there were engravings, and its panels were four-sided, not round.

32 Underneath the panels were four wheels, and the axles of the wheels

were joined to the stand, and the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

33 The wheels worked like chariot wheels in that their axles

and rims and spokes and hubs were all cast metal.

34 There were four supports for the four corners of each stand,

and the supports were part of one piece with the stand itself.

35 On the top of the stand, there was a round band half a cubit

[About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters.] high, and on the top of the stand

its stays and its panels were of one piece with it.

36On the surface of its stays and on its panels, he engraved cherubim,

lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each,

with wreaths all around.

37 In this way he made the ten stands, with them

all having the same shape, measure, and size.

38 Then he made ten basins of bronze, with each basin able to hold forty baths,

[About 240 gallons, or 880 liters]. each being four cubits.

Upon every one of the ten stands sat one basin.

39 He put five stands on the right side of the house,

and five on the left side of the house.

He set the sea on the right side of the house toward the southeast.

40 (2Ch 4:11-16) Huram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins.

So Huram finished all the work in making items for King Solomon

for use in the house of the Lord: 41the two pillars, the two bowls

of the capitals that were on the top of the two pillars, the two latticeworks

to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars;

42 (1Ki 7:20) and the four hundred pomegranates for the two latticeworks,

two rows of pomegranates for each latticework,

to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;

43 the ten stands and ten basins on the stands;

44 one sea and twelve oxen under the sea;

45Ex 27:3; 38:3the pots, the shovels, and the basins.

All these vessels that Huram made for King Solomon for the house

of the Lord were of burnished bronze.

46 (Jos 3:16; Ge 33:17) In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them,

in the clay ground between Sukkoth and Zarethan.

47 (1Ch 22:14; 22:3) Solomon left all the vessels unweighed

because there were so many. The weight of the bronze was also never measured.

48 (Ex 37:10-16; 2Ch 4:8) Solomon made all the vessels that were needed

for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, the table of gold on

which was showbread,

49 (2Ch 4:7) the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side

and five on the left before the inner sanctuary; the flowers, the lamps,

and the tongs, of gold;

50 the cups, snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, fire pans, of pure gold;

the sockets for the doors of the innermost part of the house,

the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the nave of the temple, of gold.

51 (2Ch 5:1) All the work that King Solomon made for the house of the Lord

was completed. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father

had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the cups-and he put them among

the treasures of the house of the Lord.



2 Chronicles 4

The Furnishings of the Temple

1Ki 7:23-51

1 (1Ki 8:64; Eze 43:13-17) Then he made a bronze altar that was twenty cubits long,

twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits (Or Abi in 2Ki 18:2.) high.

2 And he made a cast metal sea as a water basin. It was round and ten cubits

from edge to edge, five cubits high, [About 7 1/2 feet, or 2.3 meters. ]

and a line of thirty cubits [About 45 feet, or 14 meters.] measured

its circumference.

3 Figures like oxen were underneath it, going all the way around

the sea basin, ten cubits [About 18 inches, or 45 centimeters.] on each side.

Or ten oxen for a cubit. There were two rows of oxen that were poured

as cast metal.

4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west,

three facing south, and three facing east.

The sea was set on them, and their back sides were facing inward.

5 (1Ki 7:26) The thickness of the sea was a palm, [

About 3 inches, or 7.5 centimeters. ] and its brim was like the brim of a cup,

as the flower of a lily. It held three thousand baths

[About 18,000 gallons, or 66,000 liters]. securely.

6 (1Ki 7:38; Ex 30:18-21) Then he made ten water basins,

and he set five on the southern right side and five on the northern

left side to rinse off in them the instruments of the burnt offering.

And the sea basin was for the priests to wash in.

7 (Ex 25:31-40; 1Ki 7:49) And he made ten lampstands of gold

according to the specifications, and he set them in the temple,

five on the southern, right side and five on the northern, left side.

8 (1Ki 7:48) Then he made ten tables and put them in the temple,

five on the southern, right side and five on the northern, left side;

and he made a hundred basins of gold.

9 (1Ki 6:36; 2Ki 21:5) Then he made the court of the priests

and the great enclosure and the doors for the enclosure,

and he overlaid the doors with bronze.

10 (1Ki 7:39) And he set the sea basin at the southeast side,

opposite the southern side of the house.

11 And Huram made the pots, shovels, and bowls.

So Huram completed the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of God:

12 (1Ki 7:41) the two pillars, the bowls, and the two capitals on the top

of the pillars; and the two latticeworks to cover the two bowls

of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;

13 (1Ki 7:20) and the four hundred pomegranates for the two pieces

of grating, with two rows of pomegranates for each screen grate that covered

the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars.

14 (1Ki 7:27-43) And he made the supporting stands and the basins on top

of the stands,

15 and the sea basin and the twelve oxen underneath it;

16 (2Ch 2:13; 1Ki 7:13-14) the pots, shovels, utensils, and all the vessels

from polished bronze, Huram-Abi made for King Solomon

for the house of the Lord.

17 The king cast these vessels in the district of the Jordan in earthen

foundries between Sukkoth and Zeredatha. [Zarethan in 1Ki 7:46.]

18 (1Ki 7:47) And Solomon made all of these items in a great abundance

such that they did not consider the weight of the bronze.

19 So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God:

the gold altar and the tables displaying the showbread,

20 (Ex 25:31-37; 2Ch 4:7) and the finely hammered lampstands

with their lamps to burn before the Most Holy Place as prescribed;

21 the golden flower-shaped ornaments, lamps, and tongs, of purest gold;

22 the snuffers, basins, ladles, and fire pans, of pure gold. As for

the entrance to the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place

and the doors of the nave of the temple were of gold.

entitled Unseen Wonder



1 Peter 1:3-9



3 (1Co 15:20; 2Co 1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who according to His abundant mercy has given us a new birth into

a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 (Col 1:5; 2Ti 4:8) to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance

that does not fade away, kept in heaven for you,

5 (Eph 2:8) who are protected by the power of God through faith

for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

6 (Jas 1:2; Isa 61:3; Ro 5:2) In this you greatly rejoice, even though now,

if for a little while, you have had to suffer various trials,

7 (Job 23:10; Pr 17:3; Isa 48:10) in order that the genuineness of your faith,

which is more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tried by fire,

may be found to result in praise, glory,

and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

8 (Jn 20:29; Heb 11:27) whom, having not seen, you love; and in whom,

though you do not see Him now, you believe and you rejoice

with joy unspeakable and full of glory,

9 (Ro 6:22) receiving as the result of your faith the salvation of your souls.



In the twilight of her years, Mrs. Goodrich's thoughts came in

and out of focus along with memories of a challenging and grace-filled life.

Sitting by a window overlooking the waters of Michigan's Grand Traverse Bay,

she reached for her notepad. In words she soon wouldn't recognize

as her own she wrote: "Here I am in my favorite chair, with my feet

on the sill, and my heart in the air. The sun-struck waves on the water below,

in constant motion-to where I don't know. But thank You-dear Father above

-for Your innumerable gifts and Your undying love! It always amazes me

-How can it be? That I'm so in love with One I can't see."



The apostle Peter acknowledged such wonder. He had seen Jesus

with his own eyes, but those who would read his letter had not.

"Though you have not seen him . . . you believe in him and are filled

with an inexpressible and glorious joy" (1 Peter 1:8).

We love Jesus not because we're commanded to, but because

with the help of the Spirit (v. 11) we begin to see how much He loves us.



It's more than hearing that He cares for people like us. It's experiencing

for ourselves the promise of Christ to make the wonder of His unseen

presence and Spirit real to us at every stage of life.

and presence in Your Son and to believe in Your Spirit.



3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 6 - It is Finished



John 5:24



24 (Jn 3:18; 1Jn 3:14; Jn 3:36) "Truly, truly I say to you, whoever hears

My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life

and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. "



"PLEASE BE PATIENT - GOD IS NOT FINISHED WITH ME YET,"

the sweatshirt read. In this case, the message was an ironic one,

for the occupant of the shirt was a snaggle-toothed, freckle-faced six year

old!

In one sense, God is not finished with the work he has to do in each of us.

Life in Christ is an ongoing process of change and growth as we become

more like him. Certainly, the more we see of ourselves, the more we hope

he isn't finished with us!

Yet whatever plans God has for making us into the men and women he created

us to be, certain aspects of our life in Christ are finisehd, finalised.

Jesus declares with absolute assurance, "whoever hears

My word and believes in Him who sent Me has eternal life

and shall not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. "

Because we do not have to earn or deserve God's grace, because we are not

called to prove ourselves worthy of Salvation, we can have immediate

and total assurance of the security of life in Jesus Christ. The one who

put his trust in the Lord has eternal life; he will not be condemned;

he has crossed over from death to life.

This "crossing over" into life happens in the split second when we acknowledge

our dependence upon Christ alone. And the rest of our lives is given over to

the devleopemnt of his image in us.

God is not finished with us yet. But his wokr of salvation is finished - complete,

fully dependable an accomplished fact.



Application



a) Have I ever doubted the "accomplished fact" of my own salvation? Why?



b) How can today's verse help me realise that, although I may have a lot of

growing yet to do, my salvation in JEsus Christ is secure?





4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Ps 35:27



27 May those who favour my righteous cause

shout for joy and be glad;

may they say continually, "The Lord be magnified,

who delights in the peace of His servant."



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



God's Generous Provision



Matthew 6:24-34



God and Money



24 (Lk 16:13; 16:11; 16:9) "No one can serve two masters.

For either he will hate the one and love the other,

or else he will hold to the one and despise the other.

You cannot serve God and money."



Care and Anxiety



Lk 12:22–34



25 (Mt 6:31; 6:34; Php 4:6) "Therefore, I say to you,

take no thought about your life, what you will eat,

or what you will drink, nor about your body,

what you will put on. Is not life more than

and the body than clothing?

26 (Job 38:41; Ps 147:9) Look at the birds of the air,

for they do not sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns.

Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?

27 Who among you by taking thought can add a cubit

(A cubit is about half a meter.) to his stature?

28 (Mt 6:25; 6:31) "Why take thought about clothing?

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow:

They neither work, nor do they spin.

29 (1Ki 10:4–7; 2Ch 9:4–6) Yet I say to you that even Solomon

in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.

30 (Mt 8:26; 14:31) Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field,

which today is here and tomorrow is thrown into the oven,

will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 (1Pe 5:7) Therefore, take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?'

or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'

32 (Mt 6:8; Lk 12:30) (For the Gentiles seek after all these things.)

For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.

33 (1Ti 4:8; 1Ki 3:11-13) But seek first the kingdom of God

and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you.

34 (Mt 6:25) Therefore, take no thought about tomorrow,

for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself.

Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof.



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?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

os Muslims scattered aound the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are atrracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to releigion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhlem by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has alsways worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- Te people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



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 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) '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.'



- 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, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .

Plans to Build the Temple



2Ch 2:1-18



1 (2Sa 5:11; 1Ch 14:1) Now Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon,

for he had heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father,

and Hiram had always loved David.

2 (2Ch 2:3)And Solomon sent word to Hiram, saying,

3 (1Ch 28:3; 22:8) "You know how David my father was unable to build a house

for the name of the Lord his God because of the wars all around him,

until the Lord put his enemies under his feet.

4 (1Ki 4:24; 1Ch 22:9) But now the Lord my God has given me peace

on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor misfortune.

5 (1Ch 17:12; 22:10) So know that I plan to build a house to honor the name

of the Lord my God, just as the Lord spoke to my father David, saying,

'Your son, whom I will set on your throne after you,

shall build a house to honor My name.'

6 (2Ch 2:8) "Now therefore command that cedar trees from Lebanon be

cut down for me, and my servants shall be with your servants,

and I will pay your servants whatever you command, for you know

that there are none among my people who can cut timber like the Sidonians."

7 When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly and said,

"Blessed be the Lord this day, who has given David

a wise son over this great people."

8 Hiram sent to Solomon, saying,

"I have considered the things which you contacted me about,

and I will do all you asked concerning timber of cedar and fir.

9 (Ezr 3:7; Eze 27:17) My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon

to the sea, and I will send them by sea in floats to the place that you shall

name and will cause them to be discharged into your care there,

and in return you will meet my wishes by giving food for my household."

10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees as he desired.

11 (2Ch 2:10) Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand kors

[Likely about 3,600 tons, or 3,250 metric tons.] of wheat for his household

and twenty baths

[About 120,000 gallons, or 440,000 liters.] of pure oil. This is what Solomon

gave to Hiram each year.

12 (1Ki 3:12; Am 1:9) The Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as He promised,

and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon as they made a treaty together.

13 (1Ki 9:15; 4:6) King Solomon drafted men from all Israel,

totaling 30000 men.

14 He sent them to Lebanon in turns, ten thousand a month,

with each spending a month in Lebanon and two months at home.

Adoniram administered the labor force.

15 (1Ki 9:20–22; 2Ch 2:17-18) Solomon had seventy thousand porters

and eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountains,

16 (1Ki 9:23; 2Ch 2:2) not counting the chief of Solomon's officers

who were over the work, three thousand three hundred,

who ruled over the people who did the work.

17 (1Ki 6:7; 1Ch 22:2) At the king's command, they quarried out great,

costly stones in order to lay the foundation of the house with dressed stones.

18 (Jos 13:5; Eze 27:9) Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders, along

with the stonemasons, cut them and prepared timber and stones

to build the house.



2 Chronicles 2

Plans for Building the Temple



1 Ki 5:1-16

1 (1Ki 5:5; Dt 12:5) Now Solomon wanted to build a temple for the name

of the Lord and a royal house for his kingship.

2 (2Ch 2:18; 1Ki 5:15-16) And Solomon designated seventy thousand men

to carry materials, eighty thousand men to cut stone in the hills,

and three thousand six hundred supervisors to oversee these men.

3 (1Ch 14:1; 2Sa 5:11) And Solomon sent word to Hiram [Huram in the Heb.

text. king of Tyre] saying,

"As you did for David my father and sent him cedar trees in order to build

for himself a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.

4 (Ex 30:7; 25:30) I am going to build a temple for the name of the Lord

my God, sanctified for Him, for making sacrifices before Him,

and for incense of fragrant spices, and for the continual showbread,

for burnt offerings on both morning and evening, and for Sabbaths,

New Moons, and appointed feasts of the Lord our God,

as an ordinance forever for Israel.

5 (1Ch 16:25; Ex 15:11) "And the house that I am building will be great

because our God is greater than all other gods.

6 (1Ki 8:27; 2Ch 6:18) But who is able to build a house for Him,

since the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain Him?

Who am I that I build a house for Him, except to make offerings before Him?

7 (Ex 31:3-5; 1Ch 22:15-16) "Now may you send to me a wise man who works

with gold, silver, bronze, iron, and in purple, crimson, and violet threads

and knows how to engrave, who will be with the skilled workers

and me in Judah and Jerusalem, which David my father established.

8 (1Ki 5:6) "And may you send me trees of cedar, cypress, and algum

from Lebanon because I realize that your slaves know how to cut timber

in Lebanon; and my servants will be alongside your servants,

9 to prepare an abundance of timber for me, because the temple that I will

build will be great and marvelous.

10 (1Ki 5:11) I will provide for the woodsmen, your servants who cut timber,

twenty thousand dry kors [Likely about 3,600 tons, or 3,200 metric tons]

of wheat. of crushed wheat, twenty thousand kors

[Likely about 3,000 tons, or 2,700 metric tons] of barley. of barley,

twenty thousand liquid baths

[About 120,000 gallons, or 440,000 liters.] of wine, and twenty thousand

liquid baths of oil."

11 (1Ki 10:9; 2Ch 9:8) Then Hiram king of Tyre responded

in a letter that he sent to Solomon,

"Because the Lord loves His people, He has made you king over them."

12 (Ps 33:6) And Hiram said,

"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel who made heaven and earth

and has given King David a wise son, having insight and understanding,

who is building a temple for the Lord and a royal house for his kingship.

13 "And now I have sent a skilled man, endowed with understanding, Huram-Abi,

14 (2Ch 2:7) the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan

and the son of a man of Tyre, who knows gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone,

wood, and purple, violet, blue, and crimson threads, and who knows how

to make all types of engravings and to devise every type of design

that is given to him, with your skilled men and the skilled men of my lord

David your father.

15 (2Ch 2:10)"Now the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine that my lord

has declared, may he send these items to his slaves.

16 (Jos 19:46; 1Ki 5:8-9) And let us cut the timber from Lebanon,

whatever you need, and we will bring it to you on rafts on the sea to Joppa,

and you will bring it up to Jerusalem."

17 (1Ch 22:2) Then Solomon numbered all the male foreigners who were

in the land of Israel, after the census that David his father had taken.

And there were found one hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred.

18 (2Ch 2:2) And he made seventy thousand of them to carry materials,

eighty thousand to cut stone in the hills, and three thousand six hundred

supervisors to make the people work.



1 Kings 6



Solomon Builds the Temple



(2Ch 3:1-14)

1 (2Ch 3:1–2; Ac 7:47) In the four hundred and eightieth year

after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt,

in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Ziv

(which is the second month), he began to build the house of the Lord.

2 (Eze 40:1-41; 41:1-15) The house which King Solomon built for the Lord

had a length of sixty cubits, a width of twenty cubits,

and a height of thirty cubits. [About 90 feet long, 30 feet wide,

and 45 feet high, or 27 meters long, 9 meters wide, and 14 meters high.]

3 The porch in front of the temple was twenty cubits

[About 30 feet, or 9 meters; and in vv. 16 and 20. in length,]

the same as the width of the house, and ten cubits

[About 15 feet, or 4.5 meters; and in vv. 23-26. deep in front of the house.

4 (Eze 40:16; 41:16) He made beveled windows for the house.

5 (1Ki 6:16; 6:19-21) He also built a structure against the wall of the house,

running around the walls of the house, both of the temple

and of the inner sanctuary, and he made side chambers all around.

6 The lowest story was five cubits

[About 7 1/2 feet, or 2.3 meters; and in vv. 10 and 24.]

broad, the middle one was six cubits [About 9 feet, or 2.7 meters. ]

broad, and the third was seven cubits [About 11 feet, or 3.2 meters.]

broad. For around the outside of the house, he made offsets on the wall

so that the supporting beams should not be inserted

into the walls of the house.

7 (Dt 27:5-6) The house was built of stone prepared at the quarry,

so that neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron was heard

in the house while it was being built.

8 The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house,

and it had winding stairs into the middle chamber

and out of the middle into the third.

9 (1Ki 6:14; 6:38) So he built the house and finished it and covered it

with beams and boards of cedar.

10 Then he built chambers against the whole house, five cubits high,

and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.

11 Now the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,

12 (1Ch 22:10) "Concerning this house which you are building,

if you will walk in My statutes and execute My judgments and keep all

My commandments and walk in them, then I will carry out My word

with you, which I spoke to David your father,

13 ( Ex 25:8; Dt 31:6) and I will dwell among the people of Israel

and will not forsake My people Israel."

14 (1Ki 6:9; 6:38) So Solomon built the house and finished it.

15 (1Ki 7:7) He built the interior walls of the house with boards of cedar.

From the floor of the house to the ceiling, he covered them on the inside

with wood; and he covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.

16 (1Ki 8:6; 2Ch 3:8) He lined twenty cubits on the sides of the house,

both the floor and the walls, with boards of cedar, and he even lined

them within, even the inner sanctuary and the Most Holy Place.

17The house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary,

was forty cubits [About 60 feet, or 18 meters. long. ]

18 (1Ki 7:24) The cedar of the house within had carvings of gourds

and open flowers. All was cedar. There was no stone seen.

19 He prepared the inner sanctuary in the inner part of the house

in order to set there the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

20 The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide,

and twenty cubits high. He overlaid it with pure gold.

He also overlaid the altar of cedar.

21 So Solomon overlaid the interior of the house with pure gold,

and he made a partition with gold chains in front of the inner sanctuary,

and he overlaid it with gold.

22 (Ex 30:1; 30:3) He overlaid the whole house with gold as well as

the whole altar that was by the inner sanctuary.

23 (Ex 37:7-9) Within the inner sanctuary, he made two cherubim

from olive wood, each ten cubits high.

24 One wing of the cherub was five cubits, and the other wing

was also five cubits. From the furthest part of the one wing

to the furthest part of the other was ten cubits.

25 The other cherub was ten cubits. Both the cherubim were

the same shape and size.

26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits,

and so was that of the other cherub.

27 (Ex 25:20; 37:9) He set the cherubim within the inner sanctuary,

and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubim, so that the wing

of the one touched the one wall and the wing of the other cherub

touched the other wall, and their wings touched

one another in the middle of the house.

28 He overlaid the cherubim with gold.

29 (1Ki 6:32) He carved all the walls of the house with carved figures

of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers both inside and out.

30 He overlaid the floor of the house with gold, both inside and out.

31 For the entrance to the inner sanctuary, he made doors of olive wood;

the lintel and doorposts were 5-sided.

32 The two doors were also made of olive wood. He carved on them cherubim,

palm trees, and open flowers, overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon

the cherubim and upon the palm trees.

33 So also he made for the entrance to the nave four-sided posts of olive wood.

34 (Eze 41:23-25) The two doors were made from fir tree,

with two leaves of each door folding.

35 He carved on them cherubim and palm trees and open flowers and covered them

with gold fitted upon the carved work.

36 (1Ki 7:12) He built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone

and a row of cedar beams.

37 (1Ki 6:1) In the fourth year, in the month Ziv,

the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid,

38 and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul (which is the eighth month),

the house was completely finished. All the details and plans were met.

So he took seven years to build it.



2 Chronicles 3



Solomon Builds the Temple



1Ki 6:1-29



1 (1Ch 21:18; Ge 22:2) So Solomon began to build the house of the Lord

in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where He appeared to David his father,

at the place that David established

on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

2 He began to build in the second month Ziv or Iyyar in the Hebrew calendar.

on the second day during the fourth year of his reign.

(April or May in 966 BC.)

3 (1Ki 6:2-3) These are the foundation measurements that Solomon

used for building the house of God. The cubit [The Egyptian cubit

had a royal measure of 20.6 inches (52.3cm)

and a commercial measure of 17.6 inches (44.7 cm). ] The cubit standards

in Egypt and Mesopotamia were slightly different. length in the former

standard measure was sixty cubits and the width twenty cubits.

[About 90 feet long and 30 feet wide, or 27 meters long and 9 meters wide].

4 The porch vestibule that was in front of the nave hall had its length,

like the width of the house, as twenty cubits,

[About 30 feet, or 9 meters; and in vv. 8, 11, and 13.]

and its height was one hundred and twenty cubits;

[About 180 feet, or 54 meters. ]

and he overlaid the inside with pure gold.

5 And he paneled the great house with cypress trees and then covered it

with fine gold. Then he decorated it with palm trees and chain work.

6 And he overlaid the house with precious stones for decoration,

and the gold was from Parvaim.

7 (1Ki 6:20-22) And he covered the house—its beams, thresholds,

walls, and doors-with gold, and he engraved cherubim on the walls.

8 (Ex 26:33) Then he made the dwelling of the Most Holy Place.

Its length was as the width of twenty cubits, and its width

also twenty cubits; and he covered it with fine gold, six hundred talents

[About 23 tons, or 21 metric tons. ] worth.

9 And the weight in gold for the nails was fifty shekels.

[About 1 1/4 pounds, or 575 grams.] And he covered the upper chamber in gold.

10 (1Ki 6:23-28) Then in the dwelling of the Most Holy Place, he made

two cherubim that were cast metal and overlaid them with gold.

11 And the wings of the cherubim were the length of twenty cubits.

The wing of one cherub was five cubits, reaching the wall of the house,

and the wing of the other was five cubits,

[About 7 1/2 feet, or 2.3 meters; and in v. 15. ]reaching to the wing

of the other cherub.

12 And the wing of this cherub was five cubits, reaching to the other wall

of the house, and the other wing was five cubits, touching the wing

of the first cherub.

13 So the wings of these cherubim spread out were twenty cubits;

they were upright on their feet facing inward toward the house.

14 (Heb 9:3) Then he made the curtain of violet, purple, crimson,

and blue thread, and he wove cherubim into it.

15And he made two pillars in front of the house35 cubits

[About 53 feet, or 16 meters. high, ] with a five cubit capital on the top

of the pillar.

16 (1 Ki 7:20) Then he made ornamental chain work,

like in the Most Holy Place, and set it on the top of the pillars.

Then he designed a hundred pomegranates and set them on the chain work.

17 (1Ki 7:21) He then raised the pillars in front of the temple, with one

on the right to the south and the other on the left to the north,

and the pillar to the south he called Jakin,

and the pillar to the north he called Boaz.

Ezekiel 32:2-10



2 (Eze 29:3; 27:2) Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh

king of Egypt and say to him:

You likened yourself to a young lion of the nations,

but you are as the monster in the seas;

and you burst forth in your rivers,

and muddied the waters with your feet,

and made foul their rivers.

3 (Eze 12:13) Thus says the Lord God:

I will therefore spread out My net over you

with a company of many peoples,

and they shall bring you up in My net.

4 (Isa 18:6; Eze 29:5) Then I will leave you upon the land;

I will cast you out on the open field,

and I will cause all the fowl of the heavens to remain upon you.

And I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with you.

5 (Eze 31:12) I will lay your flesh upon the mountains,

and fill the valleys with your refuse.

6 (Isa 34:3; Ex 7:17) I will also water the land with your blood,

as far as the mountains;

and the rivers shall be full of you.

7 (Isa 13:10; Joel 2:31) When I put you out, I will cover the heavens

and make their stars dark;

I will cover the sun with a cloud,

and the moon shall not give its light.

8 (Ge 1:14 )All the bright lights in the heavens

I will make dark over you,

and set darkness upon your land,

says the Lord God.

9 (Rev 18:10-15) I will also vex the hearts of many peoples

when I bring your destruction among the nations,

into the countries which you have not known.

10 (Eze 26:16; 27:35I) ndeed, I will make many peoples amazed at you,

and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you when I brandish

My sword before them. And they shall tremble at every moment,

every man for his own life, on the day of your fall.



The leader of our video conference said, "Good morning!"

I said "Hello" back, but I wasn't looking at him. I was distracted

by my own image on the screen. Do I look like this?

I looked at the smiling faces of the others on the call.

That looks like them. So yes, this must be me.

I should lose some weight. And get a haircut.



In his mind, Pharaoh was pretty great. He was “ a young lion of the nations,

but you are as the monster in the seas;” (Ezekiel 32:2).

But then he caught a glimpse of himself from God's perspective.

God said he was in trouble and that He would expose his carcass to wild a

nimals, causing "many peoples amazed at you,

and their kings shall be horribly afraid for you when I brandish ” (v. 10).

Pharaoh was much less impressive than he thought.



We may think we're "spiritually handsome"-until we see our sin as God

sees it. Compared to His holy standard, even

"our righteous acts are like filthy rags"” (Isaiah 64:6).

But God also sees something else, something even more true:

He sees Jesus, and He sees us in Jesus.



Feeling discouraged about how you are?

Remember this is not who you are.

If you have put your trust in Jesus, then you're in Jesus,

and His holiness drapes over you.

You're more beautiful than you imagine.

Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 5 - Starting Over



2 Cor 5:17



17 (Jn 3:3; Ro 16:7) Therefore, if any man is in Christ,

he is a new creature. Old things have passed away.

Look, all things have become new.



"The trouble with turning over a new leaf," Gordon sighed,

"is that once you've done it twice, you're right back where

you started." Gordon, in his mid-fifties, had his job

"canceled" by a company wanting to cut back on retirement payments.

Out of work, with few prospects, he said wistfully,

"I wish I had the chance to start over again."

Many of us would echo Gordon's sentiments. Whether we have lost a job,

gone through a divorce, moved to another part of the country, or

experienced some lesser crisis, we often long for the chance to

begin again, fresh, without the shadow of past mistakes following us.

God's word offers just such an opportunity. Anyone who is in Christ,

Paul says in 2 Cor 5:17, is a "new creation". For the Christian, the past

is truly past - "all things are become new". In the forgiveness

and restoration of God's grace we can leave the past behind,

with all its mistakes, and enter into new life.

And the promise is not just for the newly saved. Those of us who

have been Christians for years need to hear the truth of 2 Cor 5:17 again,

for we accumulated some "new mistakes" since we came to Christ. Anyone who

is in Christ is a new creation; the freedom of forgiveness, of

"starting over" is available to all who call upon the name of the Lord.

We cannot every really "start over" simply by establishing New Year's

resolutions or turning over a new leaf. Only God gives us that opportunity;

his grace allows us to clear away the rubble of the past and begin again.

Everything becomes new in God's loving forgiveness.

God's Help in Times of Temptation



1 Cor 10:1-13



1 Corinthians 10



Warning Against Idolatry



1 (Ex 14:29; Ps 66:6) I would not want you to be unaware that

all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea,

2 and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 (Ex 16:35; Dt 8:3) all ate the same spiritual food;

4 (Ex 17:6; Nu 20:11) and all drank the same spiritual drink,

for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them,

and that Rock was Christ.

5 (Heb 3:17; Jude 1:5) But with many of them God was not well pleased,

and they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 (Nu 11:4; 1Co 10:11) Now these things were our examples to the intent

that we should not lust after evil things as they lusted.

7 (Ex 32:19; 32:4) Neither be idolaters as were some of them.

As it is written,

“The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to revel.” (Ex 32:6. )

8 (Nu 25:1–9; 1Co 6:18) Neither let us commit sexual immorality as some

of them committed, when 23000 fell in one day.

9 (Nu 21:5–6; Ex 17:2) Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them

also tempted and were destroyed by serpents.

10 (Ex 12:23; Nu 16:41) Neither murmur, as some of them also murmured

and were destroyed by the destroyer.

11 (Ro 13:11) Now all these things happened to them for examples.

They are written as an admonition to us,

upon whom the end of the ages has come.

12 (Ro 11:20) Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed,

lest he fall.

13 (1Co 1:9; 2Pe 2:9) No temptation has taken you except what is common

to man. God is faithful, and He will not permit you to be tempted above

what you can endure, but will with the temptation also make a way

to escape, that you may be able to bear it.

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



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

os Muslims scattered aound the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are atrracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to releigion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhlem by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has alsways worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- Te people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.

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 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) '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.'



- 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!

Proverbs 19-21



Proverbs 19

1 (Pr 28:6) Better is the poor who walks in his integrity

than he who is perverse in his lips and is a fool.

2 (Pr 21:5; 29:20) Also, it is not good for the soul to be without knowledge,

and he who hastens with his feet sins.

3 (Ps 37:7) The foolishness of man perverts his way,

and his heart frets against the Lord.

4 (Pr 14:20) Wealth makes many friends,

and every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.

7 (Ps 38:11; Pr 19:4 )All the brothers of the poor hate him;

how much more do his friends go far from him!

He pursues them with words,

yet they abandon him.

8 (Pr 16:20) He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;

he who keeps understanding will find good.

9 (Pr 19:5) A false witness will not be unpunished,

but his favor is as dew upon the grass.

13 (Pr 21:9; 10:1 ) A foolish son is the calamity of his father,

and a prudent wife is from the Lord.

15 (Pr 20:13; 23:21) Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep,

16 (Lk 10:28; Pr 13:13 ) He who keeps the commandment keeps his own soul,

but he who is careless in his ways will die.

17 (Pr 28:27; 2Co 9:6-8; Ecc 11:1) He who has pity

on the poor lends to the Lord,

and He will repay what he has given.

18 (Pr 13:24; 29:15; 22:15) Chasten your son while there is hope,

and let not your soul spare for his crying.

19 A man of great wrath will suffer punishment;

for if you deliver him, yet you must do it again.

20 (Ps 37:37) Hear counsel and receive instruction,

that you may be wise in your latter days.

21 (Ps 33:10-11; Pr 16:9) There are many plans in a man’s heart,

nevertheless the counsel of the Lord will stand.

22 The desire of a man is his kindness,

and whoever is deceived by it is not wise.

2 (Pr 8:36; 19:12) The terror of a king is as the roaring of a lion;

whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own soul.

3 (Pr 17:14) It is an honor for a man to cease from strife,

but every fool will be meddling.

4 (Pr 19:15; 10:4) The sluggard will not plow because of the cold;

therefore he will beg during harvest and have nothing.

5 (Pr 18:4 ) Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water,

but a man of understanding will draw it out.

6 (Ps 12:1; Lk 18:8) Most men will proclaim everyone his own goodness,

but who can find a faithful man?

7 (Ps 37:26; 112:2) The just man walks in his integrity;

his children are blessed after him.

8 (Pr 20:26; 25:5) A king who sits on the throne of judgment

scatters away all evil with his eyes.

I am pure from my sin"?

10 (Pr 11:1; 20:23) Diverse weights and diverse measures,

both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.

11 (Mt 7:16) Even a child is known by his doings,

whether his work is pure and whether it is right.

12 (Ps 94:9; Ex 4:11) The hearing ear and the seeing eye,

the Lord has made both of them.

13 (Pr 19:15; 6:9-11 ) Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty;

open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.

14 "It is bad, it is bad," says the buyer;

but when he has gone his way, then he boasts.

15 (Pr 3:15) There is gold and a multitude of rubies,

but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

16 (Pr 27:13) Take the garment of him who is a pledge for a stranger,

and hold it as a security when it is for a wayward woman.

and with good advice wage war.

19 (Pr 11:13; Ro 16:18) He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets;

therefore do not meddle with him who flatters with his lips.

20 (Ex 21:17; Pr 30:11) Whoever curses his father or his mother,

his lamp will be put out in obscure darkness.

21 An inheritance may be gained hastily at the beginning,

but the end of it will not be blessed.

22 (Pr 24:29; 1Pe 3:9) Do not say, "I will recompense evil";

but wait on the Lord, and He will save you.

23 (Pr 20:10) Diverse weights are an abomination to the Lord,

and a false balance is not good.

24 (Pr 16:9; Jer 10:23) Man's goings are of the Lord;

how can a man then understand his own way?

25 It is a snare to the man who dedicates rashly that which is holy,

and after the vows to make inquiry.

26 (Pr 20:8) A wise king sifts out the wicked,

and drives the threshing wheel over them.

27 (1Co 2:11) The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord,

searching all the inward parts of the heart.

28 (Pr 29:14; 16:12) Mercy and truth preserve the king,

and his throne is upheld by mercy.

29 (Pr 16:31 The glory of young men is their strength,

and the beauty of old men is the gray head.

30 (Pr 22:15 ) The blows of a wound cleanse away evil,

so do stripes the inward parts of the heart.

is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

but of everyone who is hasty only to want.

6 (Pr 8:36; 13:11) The getting of treasures by a lying tongue

is a vanity tossed back and forth by those who seek death.

7 The violence of the wicked will destroy them,

because they refuse to do justice.

8 (Pr 2:15) The way of a guilty man is perverse;

but as for the pure, his work is right.

9 (Pr 21:19; 25:24) It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop

than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

10 The soul of the wicked desires evil;

his neighbor finds no favor in his eyes.

and when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

12 (Ps 37:35-36) The righteous man wisely considers the house of the wicked,

13 Whoever shuts his ears at the cry of the poor,

he also will cry himself, but will not be heard.

finds life, righteousness, and honor.

22 (Ecc 7:19) A wise man scales the city of the mighty,

and casts down the strength of its confidence.

23 (Pr 12:13; 13:3) Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue

keeps his soul from trouble.

24 (Ps 1:1; Pr 1:22) Proud and haughty-scorner is his name,

who deals in proud wrath.

2) Our Daily Bread for 8 June 2021

https://odb.org/US/2021/06/08/divine-rescue

entitled Divine Rescue



Exodus 3:7-10



7 (Ps 106:44; Ex 2:23-25) The Lord said, "I have surely seen the affliction

of My people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry on account

of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

8 (Ge 50:24; 15:18-21; Ex 13:5) Therefore, I have come down to deliver

them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that

land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey,

to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites,

the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

9 (Ex 2:23; 3:7) Now therefore, the cry of the children of Israel has come

to Me. Moreover, I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians

are oppressing them.

10 (Mic 6:4; Ps 105:26) Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh

so that you may bring forth My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt."



After being informed of a 911 call from a concerned citizen, a police officer

drove alongside the train tracks, shining his floodlight into the dark until

he spotted the vehicle straddling the iron rails. The trooper's dashboard

camera captured the harrowing scene as a train barreled toward the car.

"That train was coming fast," the officer said, "Fifty to eighty miles

per hour." Acting without hesitation, he pulled an unconscious man

from the car mere seconds before the train slammed into it.



Scripture reveals God as the One who rescues—often precisely when

all seems lost. Trapped in Egypt and withering under suffocating oppression,

the Israelites imagined no possibility for escape. In Exodus, however, we find

God offering them words resounding with hope: "I have indeed seen the misery

of my people in Egypt," He said. "I have heard them crying out . . .

and I am concerned about their suffering" (3:7). And God not only saw-God

acted. "I have come down to rescue them" (v. . God led Israel

out of bondage. This was a divine rescue.



God’s rescue of Israel reveals God's heart-and His power-to help all of us who

are in need. He assists those of us who are destined for ruin unless God

arrives to save us. Though our situation may be dire or impossible, we can

lift our eyes and heart and watch for the One who loves to rescue.



By: Winn Collier



Reflect & Pray



Where does all seem lost and where do you need God's rescue?

How can you turn your hope to Him in this dire place?



God, I’m in real trouble, and if You don't help me,

I don't see a good ending. Will You help me? Will You rescue me?

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 3 - The Remedy



Acts 4:12



12 (Mt 1:21; Jn 3:36) "There is no salvation in any other,

for there is no other name under heaven given among men

by which we must be saved."



"You have cancer", the doctor told his patient. "We need to operate

- as soon as possible. It's the only remedy." The patient, not wanting

to undergo surgery unless it was absolutely necessary, sought out a second

opinion, then a third. When the third round of testing came up with the same

results, she returned to the doctor and submitted herself to the treatment.

Often the remedy for the problems in our lives seems worst than the problems

themselves. We don't want to endure the pain of self-examination, of honest

confrontation with our sin and selfishness. We'd rather live in "blissful

ignorance" than face up to ourselves.

But the Bible tells us there is only one remedy for sin: casting ourselves

upon the saving grace of God in Jesus Christ. Submitting ourselves to God's

"treatment" for sin is not an easy matter or a simple decision. We have to

give up on ourselves, on our ownstrving for self-salvation. We have to come

to the agonising realisation of our sin, the depths to which we have fallen.

Acknowlegding sin is not a duty simply for "bad" people who have lived in

rebellion against God. "Good" people - Sunday-school kids, moral parents,

and sweet little grandmothers - may have more difficulty coming to Christ

than swindlers and prostitutes, precisely because their sin is not as

visible - sometimes it is even applauded by church and society.

"Good" or "bad", we all have the same problem: sin. And, because

of the Lord's grace, we all have the same remedy: salvation through Christ.

As we look to him, not to others, and see ourselves in light of his holiness,

we can glimpse the seriousness of our own resistance to him and call upon

his name.



Application



a) What other "remedies" have I tried to use in treating my sin?



b) Why is Jesus Christ the only source of salvation?



c) How can this verse help me to see the "salvation"

of Christ in the daily struggles of life?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Haggai 2:7-9



7 (1Ki 8:11; Isa 60:7) And I will shake all the nations,

and they will come with the wealth of all nations,

and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of Hosts.

8 (Isa 60:17) The silver is mine, and the gold is Mine,

says the Lord of Hosts.

9 (Isa 9:6–7) The glory of this latter house will be greater

than the former, says the Lord of Hosts. And in this place

I will give peace, says the Lord of Hosts.



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



God's Help in Times of Temptation



James 1:12-18



Trial and Temptation



12 (Jas 2:5; 1Co 9:25; 2Ti 4:8)Blessed is the man who endures temptation,

for when he is tried, he will receive the crown of life,

which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God,"

for God cannot be tempted with evil; neither does He tempt anyone.

14 But each man is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.

15 (Job 15:35; Ps 7:14) Then, when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin;

and when sin is finished, it brings forth death.

16 (Jas 1:19; 2:5) Do not err, my beloved brothers.

17 (Mal 3:6; Nu 23:19; Jn 3:27) Every good gift and every perfect gift

is from above and comes down from the Father of lights,

with whom is no change or shadow of turning.

18 (1Pe 1:23; Jn 1:13; Rev 14:4) Of His own will He brought us forth with

the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of His creatures.



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?)



Quebec



Quick facts on Muslims in Quebec



Quebec 2015 population 8214 000



est Muslim Population 418946



CNMM Networks: Montreal



There is a growing Muslim population in Quebec City and a smattering

os Muslims scattered aound the rest of the province, yet the vast majority

of Muslims live in the greater Montreal area. n fact, 23% of Canada's Muslim

population live in Quebec. Why is that? It is largely because Francophone

African Muslims are atrracted to La Belle Provence.

And here's an interesting, perhaps even shocking fact: There are more

Muslims in Montreal than there are evangelical Christians.

This is one demographic factor creates a challenging environment for churches

and believers here: The size of the available 'workforce' is small

by comparison to begin with. Believers are already is a host culture that

is often either indifferent to releigion or resistant to it. And now

this 'new' religious community of Muslims - many of whom do not visibly

or socially conform to Quebec society - are a growing population. It might br

easy for Christians to feel overwhlem by this cultural double-whammy,

yet God has alsways worked miracles through the small, the few.

Agree in prayer for :



- Te people of Quebec, Muslim or otherwise, to be open to the Gospel

- for Muslims who are encountering believers and responding

-for a new group of Muslim background believers who are meeting

together for worship!

- For pastors and believers to be full of passion, faith and vision for

reaching Muslims in Quebec.



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 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,

"What does this mean?"

13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."



Peter's Speech at Pentecost



14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice

and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,

let this be known to you, and listen to my words.

15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,

since it is the third hour of the day.

16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) '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.'



- 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, atheists, secular humanists, ...) .
