Proverbs 19

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

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,

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,

scatters away all evil with his eyes.

I am pure from my sin"?

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.

17 Bread of deceit is sweet to a man,

but afterwards his mouth will be filled with gravel.

18 (Pr 24:6; 15:22) Every purpose is established by counsel,

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.

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

so do stripes the inward parts of the heart.



Proverbs 21

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.

11 (Pr 19:25) When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise;

and when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

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

but God overthrows the wicked for their wickedness.

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

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

14 (Pr 18:16; 19:6) A gift in secret pacifies anger,

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

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, ...) .
