Day 193 - 12 July 2021 reflections
Day 193, 12 July 2021
2 Chron 27; Is 9-12
2 Chronicles 27
Jotham, King of Judah
2Ki 15:33-38
1 (1Ch 3:12) Jotham was 25 years old when he began as king, and he reigned
sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerushah the daughter
of Zadok.
2 And he did what was correct in the eyes of the Lord just as his father
Uzziah had done. However, he did not enter the temple of the Lord.
But the people continued acting corruptly.
3 (2Ch 33:14; Ne 3:26-27) And he built the Upper Gate of the house
of the Lord, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.
4 And he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and on the wooded heights
he built citadels and towers.
5 He made war with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them.
That year the Ammonites gave to him one hundred talents
[About 3 3/4 tons, or 3.4 metric tons.] of silver, ten thousand kors
[Likely about 1,800 tons, or 1,600 metric tons of wheat.] of wheat,
and ten thousand kors
[Likely about 1,500 tons, or 1,350 metric tons of barley.] of barley.
The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and third years as well.
6 (2Ch 26:5) So Jotham was strengthened
because he established his ways before the Lord his God.
7 And the remainder of the acts of Jotham, all his wars and ways,
are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign,
and he was king for sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David.
And Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
Isaiah 9
The Coming King
1 (2Ki 15:29; 2Ch 16:4) Nevertheless there shall be no more gloom
for her who was in anguish. In the former time He contemptuously
treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
but in the latter time He shall make it glorious,
by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
2 (Eph 5:8; Mt 4:16) The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death,
upon them the light has shined.
3 (1Sa 30:16; Isa 26:15) You have multiplied the nation
and increased the joy;
they rejoice before You
according to the joy of harvest
and as men rejoice
when they divide the spoil.
4 (Isa 14:25; 10:26-27) For You have broken the yoke of his burden
and the bar of his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor
as in the day of Midian's defeat.
5For all the sandals of the tramping warriors
and all the garments rolled in blood
shall be burned as fuel for the fire.
6 (Isa 7:14; Mt 28:18; Lk 2:11) For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given,
and the government shall be upon his shoulder.
And his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
7 (Isa 37:32; Da 2:44) Of the increase of his government and peace
there shall be no end,
upon the throne of David
and over his kingdom,
to order it and to establish it
with justice and with righteousness,
from now until forever.
The zeal of the Lord of Hosts
will perform this.
The Message Against Israel
8 The Lord sent a word against Jacob,
and it falls upon Israel.
9 (Isa 46:12) All the people shall know,
even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
who say in the pride
and stoutness of heart,
10 (Mal 1:4) "The bricks are fallen down,
but we will build with hewn stones;
the sycamores are cut down,
but we will replace them with cedars."
11 Therefore, the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him,
and join his enemies together.
12 (2Ch 28:18; Isa 5:25) The Arameans shall be before
and the Philistines behind;
and they shall devour Israel with open jaws.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
and His hand is stretched out still.
13 (Hos 7:10; Isa 31:1) For the people do not turn to Him who struck them,
nor do they seek the Lord of Hosts.
14 (Isa 19:15; Rev 18:8) Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head
and tail, branch and bulrush, in one day.
15 (Isa 3:2-3; Mt 24:24) The elder and honorable man, he is the head;
and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail.
16 (Isa 3:12; Mt 15:14) For the leaders of this people cause them to err,
and those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 (Isa 10:6; 5:25) Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men,
nor shall He have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
for every one of them is a hypocrite and an evildoer,
and every mouth speaks folly.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
and His hand is stretched out still.
18 (Mal 4:1; Ps 83:14) For wickedness burns as a fire;
it shall devour the briers and thorns,
and shall ignite in the thickets of the forest,
and they shall mount up like rising smoke.
19 (Mic 7:2; 7:6) Through the wrath of the Lord of Hosts
is the land burned up,
and the people shall be as fuel for the fire;
no man shall spare his brother.
20 (Isa 49:26) They shall snatch on the right hand,
but still be hungry;
and they shall eat on the left hand,
and shall not be satisfied;
every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.
21 (Isa 5:25; 2Ch 28:6-8) Manasseh consumes Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh,
and they together shall be against Judah.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
and His hand is stretched out still.
Isaiah 10
1 (Ps 58:2) Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees
and who write unjust judgments which they have prescribed
2 (Isa 3:14; 1:23) to turn aside the needy from justice
and to take away the right from the poor of My people,
that widows may be their prey,
and that they may rob the fatherless!
3 (Hos 9:7; Lk 19:44) And what will you do in the day of punishment
and in the desolation which shall come from afar?
To whom will you flee for help,
and where will you leave your wealth?
4 (Isa 5:25; 9:12) Nothing remains but to bow down among the prisoners,
and they shall fall among the slain.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
and His hand is stretched out still.
Judgment on Assyria
5 Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
and the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
6 (Isa 9:17) I will send him against an ungodly nation,
and against the people of My wrath I will give him a command,
to seize the plunder, to take the prey,
and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 (Ge 50:20; Mic 4:11-12) However he does not so intend,
nor does he plan so in his heart;
but his purpose is to destroy
and to cut off many nations.
8 (2Ki 18:24) For he says, "Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 (2Ki 16:9; 2Ch 35:20) Is not Kalno as Carchemish?
Is not Hamath as Arpad?
Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols
whose graven images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols,
so do to Jerusalem and her idols?"
12 (2Ki 19:31; Jer 50:18) When the Lord has performed all His work
on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say,
"I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria
and the glory of his high looks."
13 (Da 4:30) For he says:
"By the strength of my hand and by my wisdom,
I have done it, for I am prudent;
and I have removed the bounds of the people,
and have robbed their treasures,
and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man.
14 (Job 31:25) And my hand has found as a nest
the riches of the people,
and as one gathers eggs that are left,
I have gathered all the earth
and there was no one who moved the wing
or opened the mouth or peeped."
15 (Isa 10:5; Ro 9:20-21; Isa 45:9) Shall the axe boast itself against
him who hews with it?
Or shall the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?
That is as if the rod wields itself against those who lift it up,
or as if the staff should lift itself up as if it were not wood.
16 (Ps 106:15) Therefore the Lord, God of Hosts,
shall send leanness among his stout ones,
and under his glory he shall kindle a burning
like the burning of a fire.
17 (Nu 11:1-3; Isa 27:4) The light of Israel shall be a fire,
and his Holy One a flame,
and it shall burn and devour
his thorns and his briers in one day,
18 (2Ki 19:23; Isa 10:33-34) and shall consume the glory of his forest,
and of his fruitful field, both soul and body;
and it shall be as when a sick man faints.
19 The rest of the trees of his forest shall be so few
that a child may write them down.
The Returning Remnant of Israel
20 (2Ki 16:7; 2Ch 28:20 ) In that day the remnant of Israel
and those who have escaped of the house of Jacob
shall never again depend on him
who struck them,
but shall depend on the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 (Isa 9:6; 7:3) The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob,
to the mighty God.
22 (Ro 9:27-28; Da 9:27 )For though your people, O Israel,
are as the sand of the sea,
yet a remnant of them shall return;
the destruction is decreed,
overflowing with righteousness.
23 For the Lord God of Hosts shall make a complete destruction,
as decreed, in the midst of all the land.
24 (Isa 37:6) Therefore, thus says the Lord God of Hosts:
O My people who dwell in Zion,
do not be afraid of the Assyrian.
He shall strike you with a rod
and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt.
25 (Da 11:36) For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease,
and My anger will be directed to their destruction.
26 (Isa 9:4; Jdg 7:25; 2Ki 19:35) The Lord of Hosts shall stir up
a scourge for him
according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb;
and as His rod was over the sea, so shall He lift it up
after the manner of Egypt.
27 (Isa 9:4; 14:25) In that day his burden shall be taken away
from off your shoulder,
and his yoke from off your neck;
and the yoke shall be destroyed
because of the anointing oil.
28 (1Sa 14:2; 13:2) He has come against Aiath,
he has passed through Migron;
at Mikmash he has laid up his carriages.
29 (1Sa 7:17; 13:23) They are gone over the pass,
they have taken up their lodging at Geba.
Ramah is afraid,
Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 (1Sa 25:44; Jer 1:1) Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim.
Listen, Laishah
and poor Anathoth.
31 Madmenah has fled,
the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32 (1Sa 21:1; 22:19) Yet today he shall remain at Nob;
he shakes his fist
against the mount of the daughter of Zion,
the hill of Jerusalem.
33 (Am 2:9; Isa 37:38) See, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts,
shall lop the bough with terror;
and the tall ones of stature shall be hewn down,
and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 (Isa 37:24) He shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron,
and Lebanon shall fall by the Mighty One.
Isaiah 11
The Righteous Branch of Jesse
1 (Isa 11:10; 4:2; 53:2) And there shall come forth a shoot
from the stump of Jesse,
and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
2 (Isa 61:1; Mt 3:16; Isa 42:1) The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and might,
the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.
3 (Jn 7:24) He shall delight in the fear of the Lord,
and he shall not judge by what his eyes see,
nor reprove by what his ears hear;
4 (Mal 4:6; Job 4:9; Ps 2:9) but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and reprove with fairness for the meek of the earth.
He shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.
5 (Eph 6:14; Isa 25:1) Righteousness shall be the belt of his loins,
and faithfulness the belt about his waist.
6 (Isa 65:25; Hos 2:18) The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
their young ones shall lie down together;
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child shall play by the hole of the asp,
and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den.
9 (Hab 2:14; Job 5:23) They shall not hurt or destroy
in all My holy mountain,
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord,
as the waters cover the sea.
10 (Isa 11:1; Lk 2:32) In that day there shall be a Root of Jesse,
who shall stand as a banner to the peoples. For him shall the nations seek.
And his rest shall be glorious.
11 (Ge 10:22; Mic 7:12) In that day the Lord shall set His hand
again the second time to recover the remnant of His people,
who shall be left, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros,
from Cush, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath,
and from the islands of the sea.
12 (Isa 11:10; 56:8) He shall set up a banner for the nations,
and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel,
and gather together the dispersed of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.
13 (Jer 3:18; Hos 1:11) The envy also of Ephraim shall depart,
and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
14 (Isa 25:10; Jer 49:28) But they shall swoop down on the slopes
of the Philistines towards the west;
they shall plunder the sons of the east together;
they shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab,
and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15 (Isa 19:16; 7:20) The Lord shall utterly destroy
the tongue of the Egyptian sea,
and with His mighty wind He shall shake His hand
over the River,Euphrates River.
and shall strike it into seven streams,
and make men walk over dry-shod.
16 (Isa 19:23; Ex 14:26-29) There shall be a highway for the remnant
of His people, who will be left from Assyria,
as it was for Israel when he came up from the land of Egypt.
Isaiah 12
Hymns of Praise
1 (Isa 25:1; Ps 30:5) And in that day you shall say:
O Lord, I will praise You;
though You were angry with me,
Your anger has turned away,
and You comforted me.
2 (Ex 15:2; Ps 118:14; Isa 7:14) Certainly God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song;
He also has become my salvation.
3 (Jer 2:13) Therefore with joy you shall draw water
out of the wells of salvation.
4 (Ps 105:1; 145:4-6) In that day you shall say:
Praise the Lord, call upon His name,
declare His deeds among the peoples,
make them remember that His name is exalted.
5 (Ex 15:1; Ps 98:1) Sing to the Lord, for He has done excellent things;
let this be known in all the earth.
6 (Zep 3:14-17; Isa 41:14) Cry out and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion.
For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst.
2) Our Daily Bread for 12 July 2021
https://odb.org/CA/2021/07/12/collateral-repair
entitled Jesus Restores Us
Genesis 3:17–24
17 And to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying,
'You shall not eat of it,' Cursed is the ground on account of you;
in hard labor you will eat of it all the days of your life.
18 Thorns and thistles it will bring forth for you, and you will eat
the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground,
because out of it you were taken;
for you are dust, and to dust you will return."
20 The man called his wife's name Eve because she was the mother
of all the living.
21 The Lord God made garments of skins for both Adam and his wife and clothed
them. 22 The Lord God said, "The man has become like one of us, knowing good
and evil. And now, he might reach out his hand, and take also from the tree of
life, and eat, and live forever"
23 therefore the Lord God sent him out from
the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken. 2
4 He drove the
man out, and at the east of the garden of Eden He placed the cherubim and a
flaming sword which turned in every direction, to guard the way to the tree
of life.
Although Sam had done nothing wrong, he lost his job on the assembly line.
Carelessness in another division led to problems in cars they built.
After several crashes made the news, wary customers stopped
buying their brand. The company had to downsize, leaving Sam out of work.
He's collateral damage, and it isn’t fair. It never is.
History's first collateral damage occurred immediately after the first sin.
Adam and Eve were ashamed of their nakedness,
so God graciously clothed them with "garments of skins" (Genesis 3:21).
It's painful to imagine, but one or more animals that had always
been safe in the garden were now slaughtered and skinned.
There was more to come. God told Israel, "Every day you are to provide
a year-old lamb without defect for a burnt offering to the Lord;
morning by morning you shall provide it" (Ezekiel 46:13).
Every. Single. Day. How many thousands of animals
have been sacrificed because of human sin?
Their death was necessary to cover our sin until Jesus, the Lamb of God,
came to remove it (John 1:29). Call this "collateral repair." As Adam's sin
kills us, so the Last Adam's (Christ's) obedience restores
all who believe in Him (Romans 5:17-19). Collateral repair isn't fair-
it cost Jesus' life-but it's free.
Reach out to Jesus in belief and receive the salvation He offers,
and His righteous life will count for you.

Reflect & Pray
When have you suffered for someone else's mistake?
When have you benefited from someone's success,
and how should you think about both situations?
Jesus, I believe in You, and I know Your life counts for me.
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 2 - Due Season
Gal 6:9
9 And let us not grow weary in doing good,
for in due season we shall reap, if we do not give up.
Jackie's preschool class took on an exciting project: they were going to grow
flowers from seeds, Each child took the ssed, planted it carefully in the
bedding soil, watered, and waited. But Jackie couldn't wait. Every day
for a week he ran to the window box, looked for his plants, poked, prodded,
unplanted the seeds and then planted them again. "It's no use,"
he pouted after the first week. "Nothin's gonna grow in there."
We live in an instant society - microwave dinners, quick fixes, easy answers.
We are conditioned by our environment to expect - even to demand -
immediate response, and when we have to wait,
we become impatient and irritable.
Paul's exhortation to the Galatians, "Let us not become weary in doing good,"
is as appropriate for twentieth-century believers as it was for the new church
at Galatia. We lose motivation when we don't see results, and weariness sets in.
If our work does not seem to be producing as we hope, we want to abandon it
and move on to a new project.
But God says, "You will reap a harvest if you don't give up." We give up too
soon in our prayers for a loved one's salvation. We abandon hope too readily
when we don't see spiritual growth in our own lives, when our investment in
another's spiritual maturity seems to have no return. The Lord says,
"The harvest is coming; be patient; trust me."
In due season the harvest comes; when it's the right time. When the seed has
had time to germinate, when the roots are string enough, when the conditions
are right, the reaping time will come. But we must be willing to wait for
the due season, the moment of ripeness, when our labor brings its return.
Application
a) Have I ever felt that my spiritual labors have produced no harvest at all?
b) What does it mean to my own spiritual growth that there is a "due season"
for reaping the harvest?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Ecclesiates 11:1
1 (Pr 19:17; Mt 10:42; Heb 6:10) Cast your bread upon the waters,
for you will find it after many days
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Facing Pain and Suffering
Romans 8:31-39
The Love of God
31 (Ps 118:6; Ro 4:1) What then shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 (Jn 3:16; Ro 4:25) He who did not spare His own Son,
but delivered Him up for us all, how shall
He not with Him also freely give us all things?
33 (Rev 12:10–11; Isa 50:8–9) Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect?
It is God who justifies.
34 (Heb 7:25; Mk 16:19; Ro 8:1) Who is he who condemns?
It is Christ who died, yes, who is risen, who is also
at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
35 (1Co 4:11) Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 (Ps 44:22; 1Co 15:30)As it is written:
"For Your sake we are killed all day long;
we are counted as sheep for the slaughter." (Ps 44:22.)
37 (1Co 15:57; Gal 2:20) No, in all these things we are more
than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38 (Eph 1:21; 1Pe 3:22) For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present
nor things to come,
39 (Ro 5:8) neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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?)
Where do Muslims live?
Canada is a land of immigrants. And Muslims are coming in increasing numbers
to our shores. Where do they live? How can we prayfor these areas? Use this as
your more effectively for Muslims in Canada.
Data for those population figures is extrapoled for the 2011 National
Household Survay and population growth projections by Pew Forum. These have
also been adjusted by +40% as reliable sources state that on 60% of Muslims
self-identify on government surveys and forms. These estimates are still on
the conservative end of the spectrum. Percentages represent that of the total
Canadian population, not provincial

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

2 Chron 27; Is 9-12
2 Chronicles 27
Jotham, King of Judah
2Ki 15:33-38
1 (1Ch 3:12) Jotham was 25 years old when he began as king, and he reigned
sixteen years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jerushah the daughter
of Zadok.
2 And he did what was correct in the eyes of the Lord just as his father
Uzziah had done. However, he did not enter the temple of the Lord.
But the people continued acting corruptly.
3 (2Ch 33:14; Ne 3:26-27) And he built the Upper Gate of the house
of the Lord, and he built much on the wall of Ophel.
4 And he built cities in the hill country of Judah, and on the wooded heights
he built citadels and towers.
5 He made war with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed against them.
That year the Ammonites gave to him one hundred talents
[About 3 3/4 tons, or 3.4 metric tons.] of silver, ten thousand kors
[Likely about 1,800 tons, or 1,600 metric tons of wheat.] of wheat,
and ten thousand kors
[Likely about 1,500 tons, or 1,350 metric tons of barley.] of barley.
The Ammonites paid him the same amount in the second and third years as well.
6 (2Ch 26:5) So Jotham was strengthened
because he established his ways before the Lord his God.
7 And the remainder of the acts of Jotham, all his wars and ways,
are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign,
and he was king for sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David.
And Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
Isaiah 9
The Coming King
1 (2Ki 15:29; 2Ch 16:4) Nevertheless there shall be no more gloom
for her who was in anguish. In the former time He contemptuously
treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
but in the latter time He shall make it glorious,
by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
2 (Eph 5:8; Mt 4:16) The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death,
upon them the light has shined.
3 (1Sa 30:16; Isa 26:15) You have multiplied the nation
and increased the joy;
they rejoice before You
according to the joy of harvest
and as men rejoice
when they divide the spoil.
4 (Isa 14:25; 10:26-27) For You have broken the yoke of his burden
and the bar of his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor
as in the day of Midian's defeat.
5For all the sandals of the tramping warriors
and all the garments rolled in blood
shall be burned as fuel for the fire.
6 (Isa 7:14; Mt 28:18; Lk 2:11) For unto us a child is born,
unto us a son is given,
and the government shall be upon his shoulder.
And his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
7 (Isa 37:32; Da 2:44) Of the increase of his government and peace
there shall be no end,
upon the throne of David
and over his kingdom,
to order it and to establish it
with justice and with righteousness,
from now until forever.
The zeal of the Lord of Hosts
will perform this.
The Message Against Israel
8 The Lord sent a word against Jacob,
and it falls upon Israel.
9 (Isa 46:12) All the people shall know,
even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
who say in the pride
and stoutness of heart,
10 (Mal 1:4) "The bricks are fallen down,
but we will build with hewn stones;
the sycamores are cut down,
but we will replace them with cedars."
11 Therefore, the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him,
and join his enemies together.
12 (2Ch 28:18; Isa 5:25) The Arameans shall be before
and the Philistines behind;
and they shall devour Israel with open jaws.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
and His hand is stretched out still.
13 (Hos 7:10; Isa 31:1) For the people do not turn to Him who struck them,
nor do they seek the Lord of Hosts.
14 (Isa 19:15; Rev 18:8) Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head
and tail, branch and bulrush, in one day.
15 (Isa 3:2-3; Mt 24:24) The elder and honorable man, he is the head;
and the prophet that teaches lies, he is the tail.
16 (Isa 3:12; Mt 15:14) For the leaders of this people cause them to err,
and those who are led by them are destroyed.
17 (Isa 10:6; 5:25) Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men,
nor shall He have mercy on their fatherless and widows;
for every one of them is a hypocrite and an evildoer,
and every mouth speaks folly.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
and His hand is stretched out still.
18 (Mal 4:1; Ps 83:14) For wickedness burns as a fire;
it shall devour the briers and thorns,
and shall ignite in the thickets of the forest,
and they shall mount up like rising smoke.
19 (Mic 7:2; 7:6) Through the wrath of the Lord of Hosts
is the land burned up,
and the people shall be as fuel for the fire;
no man shall spare his brother.
20 (Isa 49:26) They shall snatch on the right hand,
but still be hungry;
and they shall eat on the left hand,
and shall not be satisfied;
every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.
21 (Isa 5:25; 2Ch 28:6-8) Manasseh consumes Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh,
and they together shall be against Judah.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
and His hand is stretched out still.
Isaiah 10
1 (Ps 58:2) Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees
and who write unjust judgments which they have prescribed
2 (Isa 3:14; 1:23) to turn aside the needy from justice
and to take away the right from the poor of My people,
that widows may be their prey,
and that they may rob the fatherless!
3 (Hos 9:7; Lk 19:44) And what will you do in the day of punishment
and in the desolation which shall come from afar?
To whom will you flee for help,
and where will you leave your wealth?
4 (Isa 5:25; 9:12) Nothing remains but to bow down among the prisoners,
and they shall fall among the slain.
For all this His anger is not turned away,
and His hand is stretched out still.
Judgment on Assyria
5 Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
and the staff in whose hand is My indignation.
6 (Isa 9:17) I will send him against an ungodly nation,
and against the people of My wrath I will give him a command,
to seize the plunder, to take the prey,
and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 (Ge 50:20; Mic 4:11-12) However he does not so intend,
nor does he plan so in his heart;
but his purpose is to destroy
and to cut off many nations.
8 (2Ki 18:24) For he says, "Are not my princes altogether kings?
9 (2Ki 16:9; 2Ch 35:20) Is not Kalno as Carchemish?
Is not Hamath as Arpad?
Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols
whose graven images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 shall I not, as I have done to Samaria and her idols,
so do to Jerusalem and her idols?"
12 (2Ki 19:31; Jer 50:18) When the Lord has performed all His work
on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say,
"I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria
and the glory of his high looks."
13 (Da 4:30) For he says:
"By the strength of my hand and by my wisdom,
I have done it, for I am prudent;
and I have removed the bounds of the people,
and have robbed their treasures,
and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man.
14 (Job 31:25) And my hand has found as a nest
the riches of the people,
and as one gathers eggs that are left,
I have gathered all the earth
and there was no one who moved the wing
or opened the mouth or peeped."
15 (Isa 10:5; Ro 9:20-21; Isa 45:9) Shall the axe boast itself against
him who hews with it?
Or shall the saw magnify itself against him who wields it?
That is as if the rod wields itself against those who lift it up,
or as if the staff should lift itself up as if it were not wood.
16 (Ps 106:15) Therefore the Lord, God of Hosts,
shall send leanness among his stout ones,
and under his glory he shall kindle a burning
like the burning of a fire.
17 (Nu 11:1-3; Isa 27:4) The light of Israel shall be a fire,
and his Holy One a flame,
and it shall burn and devour
his thorns and his briers in one day,
18 (2Ki 19:23; Isa 10:33-34) and shall consume the glory of his forest,
and of his fruitful field, both soul and body;
and it shall be as when a sick man faints.
19 The rest of the trees of his forest shall be so few
that a child may write them down.
The Returning Remnant of Israel
20 (2Ki 16:7; 2Ch 28:20 ) In that day the remnant of Israel
and those who have escaped of the house of Jacob
shall never again depend on him
who struck them,
but shall depend on the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 (Isa 9:6; 7:3) The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob,
to the mighty God.
22 (Ro 9:27-28; Da 9:27 )For though your people, O Israel,
are as the sand of the sea,
yet a remnant of them shall return;
the destruction is decreed,
overflowing with righteousness.
23 For the Lord God of Hosts shall make a complete destruction,
as decreed, in the midst of all the land.
24 (Isa 37:6) Therefore, thus says the Lord God of Hosts:
O My people who dwell in Zion,
do not be afraid of the Assyrian.
He shall strike you with a rod
and shall lift up his staff against you, after the manner of Egypt.
25 (Da 11:36) For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease,
and My anger will be directed to their destruction.
26 (Isa 9:4; Jdg 7:25; 2Ki 19:35) The Lord of Hosts shall stir up
a scourge for him
according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb;
and as His rod was over the sea, so shall He lift it up
after the manner of Egypt.
27 (Isa 9:4; 14:25) In that day his burden shall be taken away
from off your shoulder,
and his yoke from off your neck;
and the yoke shall be destroyed
because of the anointing oil.
28 (1Sa 14:2; 13:2) He has come against Aiath,
he has passed through Migron;
at Mikmash he has laid up his carriages.
29 (1Sa 7:17; 13:23) They are gone over the pass,
they have taken up their lodging at Geba.
Ramah is afraid,
Gibeah of Saul has fled.
30 (1Sa 25:44; Jer 1:1) Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim.
Listen, Laishah
and poor Anathoth.
31 Madmenah has fled,
the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.
32 (1Sa 21:1; 22:19) Yet today he shall remain at Nob;
he shakes his fist
against the mount of the daughter of Zion,
the hill of Jerusalem.
33 (Am 2:9; Isa 37:38) See, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts,
shall lop the bough with terror;
and the tall ones of stature shall be hewn down,
and the haughty shall be humbled.
34 (Isa 37:24) He shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron,
and Lebanon shall fall by the Mighty One.

from the stump of Jesse,

the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.
3 (Jn 7:24) He shall delight in the fear of the Lord,
and he shall not judge by what his eyes see,
nor reprove by what his ears hear;
4 (Mal 4:6; Job 4:9; Ps 2:9) but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and reprove with fairness for the meek of the earth.
He shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips he shall slay the wicked.
5 (Eph 6:14; Isa 25:1) Righteousness shall be the belt of his loins,
and faithfulness the belt about his waist.
6 (Isa 65:25; Hos 2:18) The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
their young ones shall lie down together;
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child shall play by the hole of the asp,
and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den.
9 (Hab 2:14; Job 5:23) They shall not hurt or destroy
in all My holy mountain,
for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord,
as the waters cover the sea.
10 (Isa 11:1; Lk 2:32) In that day there shall be a Root of Jesse,

And his rest shall be glorious.
11 (Ge 10:22; Mic 7:12) In that day the Lord shall set His hand
again the second time to recover the remnant of His people,
who shall be left, from Assyria, from Egypt, from Pathros,

and gather together the dispersed of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.

Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.

they shall lay their hand on Edom and Moab,
and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
15 (Isa 19:16; 7:20) The Lord shall utterly destroy
the tongue of the Egyptian sea,
and with His mighty wind He shall shake His hand
over the River,Euphrates River.

out of the wells of salvation.

2) Our Daily Bread for 12 July 2021
https://odb.org/CA/2021/07/12/collateral-repair
entitled Jesus Restores Us
Genesis 3:17–24
17 And to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying,
'You shall not eat of it,' Cursed is the ground on account of you;
in hard labor you will eat of it all the days of your life.
18 Thorns and thistles it will bring forth for you, and you will eat
the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground,
because out of it you were taken;
for you are dust, and to dust you will return."
20 The man called his wife's name Eve because she was the mother
of all the living.
21 The Lord God made garments of skins for both Adam and his wife and clothed
them. 22 The Lord God said, "The man has become like one of us, knowing good
and evil. And now, he might reach out his hand, and take also from the tree of
life, and eat, and live forever"
23 therefore the Lord God sent him out from
the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken. 2
4 He drove the
man out, and at the east of the garden of Eden He placed the cherubim and a
flaming sword which turned in every direction, to guard the way to the tree
of life.
Although Sam had done nothing wrong, he lost his job on the assembly line.
Carelessness in another division led to problems in cars they built.
After several crashes made the news, wary customers stopped
buying their brand. The company had to downsize, leaving Sam out of work.
He's collateral damage, and it isn’t fair. It never is.
History's first collateral damage occurred immediately after the first sin.
Adam and Eve were ashamed of their nakedness,
so God graciously clothed them with "garments of skins" (Genesis 3:21).
It's painful to imagine, but one or more animals that had always
been safe in the garden were now slaughtered and skinned.
There was more to come. God told Israel, "Every day you are to provide
a year-old lamb without defect for a burnt offering to the Lord;
morning by morning you shall provide it" (Ezekiel 46:13).
Every. Single. Day. How many thousands of animals
have been sacrificed because of human sin?
Their death was necessary to cover our sin until Jesus, the Lamb of God,
came to remove it (John 1:29). Call this "collateral repair." As Adam's sin
kills us, so the Last Adam's (Christ's) obedience restores
all who believe in Him (Romans 5:17-19). Collateral repair isn't fair-
it cost Jesus' life-but it's free.
Reach out to Jesus in belief and receive the salvation He offers,
and His righteous life will count for you.

Reflect & Pray
When have you suffered for someone else's mistake?
When have you benefited from someone's success,
and how should you think about both situations?
Jesus, I believe in You, and I know Your life counts for me.
3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 2 - Due Season
Gal 6:9
9 And let us not grow weary in doing good,
for in due season we shall reap, if we do not give up.
Jackie's preschool class took on an exciting project: they were going to grow
flowers from seeds, Each child took the ssed, planted it carefully in the
bedding soil, watered, and waited. But Jackie couldn't wait. Every day
for a week he ran to the window box, looked for his plants, poked, prodded,
unplanted the seeds and then planted them again. "It's no use,"
he pouted after the first week. "Nothin's gonna grow in there."
We live in an instant society - microwave dinners, quick fixes, easy answers.
We are conditioned by our environment to expect - even to demand -
immediate response, and when we have to wait,
we become impatient and irritable.
Paul's exhortation to the Galatians, "Let us not become weary in doing good,"
is as appropriate for twentieth-century believers as it was for the new church
at Galatia. We lose motivation when we don't see results, and weariness sets in.
If our work does not seem to be producing as we hope, we want to abandon it
and move on to a new project.
But God says, "You will reap a harvest if you don't give up." We give up too
soon in our prayers for a loved one's salvation. We abandon hope too readily
when we don't see spiritual growth in our own lives, when our investment in
another's spiritual maturity seems to have no return. The Lord says,
"The harvest is coming; be patient; trust me."
In due season the harvest comes; when it's the right time. When the seed has
had time to germinate, when the roots are string enough, when the conditions
are right, the reaping time will come. But we must be willing to wait for
the due season, the moment of ripeness, when our labor brings its return.
Application
a) Have I ever felt that my spiritual labors have produced no harvest at all?
b) What does it mean to my own spiritual growth that there is a "due season"
for reaping the harvest?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Ecclesiates 11:1
1 (Pr 19:17; Mt 10:42; Heb 6:10) Cast your bread upon the waters,
for you will find it after many days
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
When you are Facing Pain and Suffering
Romans 8:31-39
The Love of God
31 (Ps 118:6; Ro 4:1) What then shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 (Jn 3:16; Ro 4:25) He who did not spare His own Son,
but delivered Him up for us all, how shall
He not with Him also freely give us all things?
33 (Rev 12:10–11; Isa 50:8–9) Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect?
It is God who justifies.
34 (Heb 7:25; Mk 16:19; Ro 8:1) Who is he who condemns?
It is Christ who died, yes, who is risen, who is also
at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us.
35 (1Co 4:11) Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 (Ps 44:22; 1Co 15:30)As it is written:
"For Your sake we are killed all day long;
we are counted as sheep for the slaughter." (Ps 44:22.)
37 (1Co 15:57; Gal 2:20) No, in all these things we are more
than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38 (Eph 1:21; 1Pe 3:22) For I am persuaded that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor principalities nor powers, neither things present
nor things to come,
39 (Ro 5:8) neither height nor depth, nor any other created thing,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
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."

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, ...) .
