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

of Muslims scattered around 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 attracted 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 religion 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 overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

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

Agree in prayer for :



- The 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 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

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

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

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

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

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

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

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



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.



[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.



ROMANS 15:13



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, ...) .

Serving Side by Side by Anne Cetas



Nehemiah 2:17-18,3:6-12



17 (Ne 1:3; Eze 5:14; Ps 44:13) Finally, I said to them, "You see the distress

that we are in, how Jerusalem is devastated and its gates are burned

with fire. Come, and let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that we will

no more be a reproach."

18 (2Sa 2:7) Then I told them that the hand of my God had been good to me

and also about the king's words that he had spoken to me.

And they said, "Let us rise up and build!"



[17] Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how

Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and

let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

[18] Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also

the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up

and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.



6 (Ne 12:39) Joiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah

repaired the Old Gate. They constructed its beams, erected its doors,

and installed locks and bars for it.

7 Next to them repairs were made by Melatiah the Gibeonite

and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and of Mizpah,

places under the authority of the governor of the province Beyond the River.

8 (Ne 12:38; 3:31-32) Next to them Uzziel the son of Harhaiah,

one of the goldsmiths, made repairs. Next to him Hananiah,

the son of one of the apothecaries, made repairs, and they repaired Jerusalem

as far as the Broad Wall.

9 (Ne 3:12; 3:17) Next to him Rephaiah the son of Hur, commander of half

of the Jerusalem district, made repairs.

10 Next to him Jedaiah the son of Harumaph made repairs across from his house.

Next to him Hattush the son of Hashabneiah made repairs.

11 (Ne 12:38) Malkijah the son of Harim and Hasshub the son of Pahath-Moab

repaired another section, as well as the Tower of the Furnaces.

12 (Ne 3:9) Next to them Shallum the son of Hallohesh,

commander of the other half of the Jerusalem district, made repairs

along with his daughters.



[6] Moreover the old gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam

the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors

thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof.

[7] And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the

Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, unto the throne of the

governor on this side the river.

[8] Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths.

Next unto him also repaired Hananiah the son of one of the apothecaries,

and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall.

[9] And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the

half part of Jerusalem.

[10] And next unto them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, even over

against his house. And next unto him repaired Hattush the son of

Hashabniah.

[11] Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hashub the son of Pahath-moab, repaired

the other piece, and the tower of the furnaces.

[12] And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler

of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters.



Serendipity Bookstore, a popular spot in Chelsea, Michigan, needed to expand.

The owner found a building twice the size just a block away. She wanted to

make the move quickly instead of closing the store for days and boxing up all

the books. So she requested help from the community. More than three hundred

people showed up! They stood shoulder to shoulder, forming a human conveyor

belt, and passed the books from one person to the next, moving 9100 books in

just under two hours. The owner said, "[The bookstore] is really a part of

the community, and [the people] have ownership."

They all enthusiastically worked side by side.



When Nehemiah, a Jew who was the trusted cupbearer to the Persian king,

learned that the wall surrounding Jerusalem lay in shambles, he cried out for

God's guidance (Nehemiah 1:3-11). The Babylonians had destroyed the walls

in 587 B.C. After investigating, Nehemiah recruited help from the community.

He said to the Jewish leaders, "You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem

lies in ruins . . . . Come, let us rebuild the wall" (2:17). Chapter 3

describes how leaders and citizens alike willingly repaired the section

of the wall that was right in front of each one. They worked side by side.



We too can impact our community by serving together

under God's direction and in His strength.



Reflect & Pray



What are your God-given abilities?

How might He be calling you to work side by side with others?



Please open my eyes, dear God, to those around me

so I might serve You in ways that help my community.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 1 A circle of Light



John 8:12



12 (Jn 12:35; Job 33:28; Isa 49:6) Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying,

"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me

shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life."



12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,

but shall have the light of life.



When Judy Garland stepped onstage, she filled the spotlight. Nothing was

illuminated but her face, and as she sang, her listeners had a sense of being

transported beyond themselves into the meaning of her song. The focus of

reality, at that moment, was "Judy", and everything else faded into the dim

recesses of the shadowed room. The spotlight brought her into sharp focus

as the center of attention, and all around her was darkness.

When the scriptures speaks of Jesus as "the light," the image is not

of thousands of blazing bulbs lighting up a football field for a night game.

Rather, he is like a hand-help lamp that throws a circle of light in the

immediate vicinity. such a lamp lights the path that a traveler will walk,

but lights it only one step at a time.

Jesus is the center of that circle of light. As we follow him, we share the

light, but he is always at center. Jesus Christ is the focal point,

and everything else fades into dim gray by comparison.

If we are to keep our lives illuminated, to have his light falling upon the

road we walk, we must stay close to him. Jesus does not hand the lamp

to us and suggest that we go the way he wants; he , the Light, leads,

and if we want to stay in the light, we follow.



Application



a) Have I ever tried to go my own way, apart from the Light?

What was the result?



b) How can this verse help me remember the importance of staying close

to Jesus?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Luke 6:38



38 "Give, and it will be given to you: Good measure, pressed down,

shaken together, and running over will men give unto you.

For with the measure you use, it will be measured unto you."



38 give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down,

and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For

with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.



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



When you are Burdened by Doubt



Proverbs 30:5



5 Every word of God is pure;

He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.



5 Every word of God is pure:

He is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.



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.

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.

but deliver us from evil.

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

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Psalm 147

[1] Praise ye the LORD: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it

is pleasant; and praise is comely.

[2] The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of

Israel.

[3] He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

[4] He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

[5] Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

[6] The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

[7] Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our

God:

[8] Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth,

who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.

[9] He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

[10] He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure

in the legs of a man.

[11] The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in

his mercy.

[12] Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

[13] For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy

children within thee.

[14] He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the

wheat.

[15] He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very

swiftly.

[16] He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.

[17] He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

[18] He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow,

and the waters flow.

[19] He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto

Israel.

[20] He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they

have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.

things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any

virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.



Today at Calvary Community Church

, Pastor Barry Regier Spoke on Living Counter-Counteral When Hope Seems

Impossible.



A) When doing good brings suffering



1 Peter 3:13-14



13 (Pr 16:7) Who is he who will harm you if you follow that which is good?

14 (1Pe 2:19-20; Isa 8:12-13) But even if you suffer for the sake

of righteousness, you are blessed. "Do not be afraid of their terror,

do not be troubled."(Isa 8:12.)



[13] And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is

good?

[14] But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not

afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;



B) When suffering tempts you to fear.



1 Peter 3:14-15



14 (1Pe 2:19-20; Isa 8:12-13) But even if you suffer for the sake

of righteousness, you are blessed. "Do not be afraid of their terror,

do not be troubled."(Isa 8:12.)

15 (Col 4:6; Isa 29:23) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts.

Always be ready to give an answer to every man who asks you for

a reason for the hope that is in you, with

gentleness and fear.



[14] But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not

afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

[15] But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give

an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you

with meekness and fear:



Psalm 91:1



1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.



1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.



C) When Hope creates Curiosity



15 (Col 4:6; Isa 29:23) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts.

Always be ready to give an answer to every man who asks you for

a reason for the hope that is in you, with

gentleness and fear.

16 (Heb 13:18; 1Pe 2:12) Have a good conscience so that evildoers who speak

evil of you and falsely accuse your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

17 (1Pe 2:20; 4:19) For it is better, if it is the will of God, that you

suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

18 (1Pe 4:1; Heb 9:26; Ro 4:25) For Christ also has once suffered for sins,

the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, being put to death

in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit,



[15] But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give

an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you

with meekness and fear:

[16] Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of

evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in

Christ.

[17] For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well

doing, than for evil doing.

[18] For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust,

that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but

quickened by the Spirit:

Psalm 146



1 Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) While I live I will praise the Lord;

I will sing praises unto my God while Ihave my life.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Do not put your trust in princes,

nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) His breath leaves him, and he returns to the earth;

on that very day his plans perish.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Blessed is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,

whose hope is in the Lord his God,

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) who made heaven, and earth,

the sea, and all that is in them,

who keeps faithfulness forever,

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) who executes justice for the oppressed,

who gives food to the hungry. The Lord releases the prisoners.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;

the Lord raises those who are brought down; the Lord loves the righteous.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) The Lord preserves the sojourners;

He lifts up the fatherless and widow,

but on the way of the wicked He brings disaster.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) The Lord shall reign forever,

your God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise you the Lord!



Psalms 146

[2] While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God

while I have any being.

[3] Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is

no help.

[4] His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his

thoughts perish.

[5] Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in

the LORD his God:

[6] Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which

keepeth truth for ever:

[7] Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the

hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

[8] The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are

bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

[9] The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and

widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

[10] The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all

generations. Praise ye the LORD.



Psalms 147



1 Praise the Lord!

For it is good to sing praises unto our God;

for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) The Lord builds up Jerusalem;

He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) He heals the broken in heart,

and binds up their wounds.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) He counts the number of the stars;

He calls them all by their names.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Great is our Lord and great in power;

His understanding is without measure.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The Lord lifts up the meek;

He casts the wicked down to the ground.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving;

sing praise upon the harp unto our God:

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) who covers the heaven with clouds,

who provides rain for the earth,

who makes grass to grow upon the mountains.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He gives food to the animals

and to the young ravens that chirp.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He delights not in the strength of the horse,

nor does He take pleasure in the legs of a man,

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) but the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear Him,

in those who hope in His mercy.

12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem;

praise your God, O Zion.

13 For He has strengthened the bars of your gates;

He has blessed your children within you.

14 He makes peace in your borders,

and fills you with the finest of the wheat.

15 He sends forth His commandment on the earth;

His word goes out swiftly.

16 He gives snow like wool;

He scatters the frost like ashes;

17 He casts forth His ice like morsels;

who can stand before His cold?

18 He sends out His word and melts them;

He causes His wind to blow and the waters flow.

19 He shows His word to Jacob,

and His statutes and His judgments to Israel.

20 He has not dealt so with any other nation;

they have not known His judgments.

Praise the Lord!

PSALMS 103



A Psalm of David.



1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me, bless His holy name.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all His benefits,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) who forgives all your iniquities,

who heals all your diseases,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) who satisfies your mouth with good things,

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The Lord does righteousness

and justice for all who are oppressed.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) He made known His ways to Moses,

His acts to the people of Israel.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) He will not always accuse,

neither will He keep his anger forever.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) He does not treat us according to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like a father shows compassion to his children,

so the Lord gives compassion to those who fear Him.

14 For He knows how we are formed;

He remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass;

as a flower of the field he flourishes.

16 For the hot wind passes over it, and it is gone;

the place where it was is not known.

17 But the mercy of the Lord

is from everlasting to everlasting

upon those who fear Him,

and His righteousness to children's children,

18 to those who keep His covenant,

and to those who remember to do His commandments.

19 The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,

and His kingdom rules over all.

20 Bless the Lord, you His angels,

who are mighty, and do His commands,

and obey the voice of His word.

21 Bless the Lord, all you His hosts;

you servants who do His pleasure.

22 Bless the Lord, all His works,

in all places of His dominion.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!



Psalm 103

[1] Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy

name.

[2] Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

[3] Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

[4] Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with

lovingkindness and tender mercies;

[5] Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed

like the eagle's.

[6] The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are

oppressed.

[7] He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

[8] The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in

mercy.

[9] He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

[10] He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to

our iniquities.

[11] For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward

them that fear him.

[12] As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our

transgressions from us.

[13] Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that

fear him.

[14] For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

[15] As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he

flourisheth.

[16] For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof

shall know it no more.

[17] But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them

that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

[18] To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his

commandments to do them.

[19] The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom

ruleth over all.

[20] Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his

commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

[21] Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his

pleasure.

[22] Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the

LORD, O my soul.

2) Our Daily Bread for 13 June 2026 Titled Dependent on

God's Strength by Bill Crowder



2 Corinthians 11:23-29,12:9



23 (1Co 15:10; 2Co 6:4-5) Are they servants of Christ? I speak as a fool.

I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure,

in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.

24 Five times I received from the Jews forty lashes minus one.

25 (Ac 14:19) Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned;

three times I suffered shipwreck; a night and a day I have been in the deep;

26 (Ac 14:5; 13:50; 17:5) in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils

of robbers, in perils by my own countrymen, in perils by the Gentiles, in

perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in

perils among false brothers;

27 (2Co 6:5; Php 4:12; 1Th 2:9) in weariness and painfulness, in

sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold

and nakedness.

28 Beside the external things, the care of all the churches pressures

me daily.

29 (1Co 8:13; 9:22) Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin,

and I am not distressed?



[23] Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours

more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths

oft.

[24] Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

[25] Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered

shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

[26] In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in

perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the

city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among

false brethren;

[27] In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst,

in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

[28] Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily,

the care of all the churches.

[29] Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?



9 (Php 4:13; 2Co 12:10; Isa 40:29-31) But He said to me, "My grace is

sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness."

Therefore most gladly I will boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ

may rest upon me.



[9] And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is

made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my

infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.



Tungsten is something of a paradox. It has the highest tensile strength of any

pure element, making it extremely difficult to pull apart. But the Mead Metals

website notes, "In terms of impact strength, tungsten is weak - it's a brittle

metal known to shatter on impact." It's fascinating that tungsten, the

strongest natural metal, is also so weak and brittle.



Human beings display a similar characteristic. Though capable of great

strength both physically and mentally, we're easily crushed under the weight

of this fallen, broken world. Paul experienced this personally. In 2

Corinthians 11, he described experiences that overwhelmed him (vv. 23-29).

But God encouraged him, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made

perfect in weakness." Paul resolved, "Therefore I will boast all the more

gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's

power may rest on me" (2 Corinthians 12:9).



Earlier in 2 Corinthians, Paul had written, "We are hard pressed on every

side, but not crushed" (4:8). There's hope, even though the strongest child

of God knows all too well that this world is simply too much for us. We're

happily dependent on the strength of His grace if we are to endure. May we,

like Paul, embrace our weaknesses so God's power can carry us through.



Reflect & Pray



When did you experience a moment that felt like it would crush you?

How will you rest in God's strength the next time you're in a crisis?



Dear Father, please help me to rest in Your

strength to carry me through life's crushing moments.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 7 Support System



Deut 33:27



27 (Ge 49:24; Ps 90:1-2) The eternal God is your refuge,

and underneath you are the everlasting arms;

He will drive out the enemy before you,

and will say, "Destroy them."



27 The eternal God is thy refuge,

And underneath are the everlasting arms:

And he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee;

And shall say, Destroy them.



Misty was only 4 when her parents divorced. Her dad moved away,

and the following summer she went with her grandparents to visit him

in his new apartment. In the swimming pool one afternoon, Grandpa stood

Misty on the side of the pool, held out his arm, and called, "Jump!"

But Misty, normally a little fish, suddenly seemed afraid of the water,

and stood trembling on the sidewalk shaking her head.

"Jump, Misty - I'll catch you!"

"Are you sure, Grandpa?"

"Of course I'm sure! Jump!"

But Misty wouldn't jump. Finally Grandpa, a bit irritated, said, "Misty, do

you think I Won't catch you? Do you think I'll just walk away?"

The tears spilled over, and Misty sobbed. "Daddy did!"

Human support systems often fail us. We disappoint those we love, and

are disappointed by them. People simply aren't there for us

when we need them most.

But God promises that with him things are different. He's always there,

always listening, always caring, always ready to support us.

"Underneath his everlasting arms".

Sometimes those arms reach out clothed in flesh, in the warm embrace

of a loved one. Sometimes they support us through the Word, sometimes through

the quiet peace that comes in prayer. Sometimes we are not aware of them

at all, but they still hold us up, supporting, surrounding, loving.

Underneath us are the everlasting arms.



Application



a) Have I ever felt abandoned by someone I loved and depended upon?



b) How have I experienced the faithfulness of God's "Everlasting arms"?



c) Now can this verse help me in times when I feel my supports have given way?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

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



When you are Burdened by Doubt



James 1:2 to 8



Faith and Wisdom



2 My brothers, count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations,

3 knowing that the trying of your faith develops patience.

4 But let patience perfect its work, that you may be perfect and complete,

lacking nothing.

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men

liberally and without criticism, and it will be given to him.

6 But let him ask in faith, without wavering. For he who wavers

is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed with the wind.

7 Let not that man think that he will receive anything from the Lord.

8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.



2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

3 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect

and entire, wanting nothing.

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men

liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth

is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.



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."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 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

of Muslims scattered around 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 attracted 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 religion 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 overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

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

Agree in prayer for :



- The 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 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

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

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

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

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

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

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

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



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

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

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

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



And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.

ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

1 Kings 9



God's Covenant

1 And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house

of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which

he was pleased to do,

2 that the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared

unto him at Gibeon.

3 And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication,

that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast

built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be

there perpetually.

4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity

of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded

thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:

5 then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I

promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon

the throne of Israel.

6 But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will

not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go

and serve other gods, and worship them:

7 then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this

house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and

Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:

8 and at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be

astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus

unto this land, and to this house?

9 And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought

forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other

gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD

brought upon them all this evil.



2 Chronicles 7



11 (1Ki 9:1-9) Thus Solomon finished the house of the Lord

and the king's house. And Solomon successfully accomplished

everything that came into his heart to do in the house of the Lord

and in his own house.



The Lord Appears to Solomon

1Ki 9:1-9



12 (Dt 12:11; 1Ki 9:2) Then the Lord appeared to Solomon at night,

and He said to Solomon,

"I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen for Myself in this place

a house of sacrifice.

13 (2Ch 6:26-28) "When I shut up the heaven and there is no rain,

or when I command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence

on My people,

14 (2Ch 6:27; 6:37-39) if My people, who are called by My name,

will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn

from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven,

and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

15 (2Ch 6:40; 6:20) Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive

to the prayer of this place.

16 (2Ch 7:12) So now I have chosen and consecrated this house

that My name be there continually. My eyes and heart will be

there for all days.

17 "And you, if you walk before Me as David your father did to do

everything that I command you to do, and you keep My statutes and judgments,

18 (2Ch 6:16) then I will set the throne of your kingdom as I made a covenant

with David your father saying, 'You will not lack a man to rule Israel.'

19 (Lev 26:14; Dt 28:15) "But if the people turn aside and abandon

My statutes and commandments that I have given to you,

and you walk after and serve other gods and worship them,

20 (Dt 28:37; 29:28) then I will uproot them from My land that I have given

to them; and the house that I have consecrated for My name, I will throw it

from before Me and set it as a proverb and taunt among the peoples.

21 (Jer 22:8-9) And even though this house was majestic, it will lie desolate

before all who pass by it, and they will say, 'Why did the Lord do such

a thing to this land and this house?'

22 Then they will say, 'Because they abandoned the Lord, the God

of their fathers who brought them up from the land of Egypt,

and they took hold of other gods and worshipped and served them;

therefore He has brought on them all this disaster."



The Divine Covenant

11 Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house:

and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD,

and in his own house, he prosperously effected.

12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard

thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.

13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to

devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;

14 if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves,

and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear

from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is

made in this place.

16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be

there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked,

and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my

statutes and my judgments;

18 then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have

covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man

to be ruler in Israel.

19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I

have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;

20 then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given

them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of

my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.

21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that

passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this

land, and unto this house?

22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their

fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold

on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them:

therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.



1 Kings 9



Solomon's Other Activities



2 Ch 8:1-18



10 (1Ki 6:37-7:1; 9:1) When twenty years had passed since Solomon

had built the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king's house

11 (2Ch 8:2) (now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar

and fir trees, along with gold, as he had requested), King Solomon gave Hiram

twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12 Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities Solomon had given him,

and he was not pleased with them.

13 (Jos 19:27) He said, "What cities are these which you have given me,

my brother?" And he called them the land of Kabul to this day.

14 (1Ki 9:11) Hiram sent to the king one hundred and twenty talents

[About 25 tons, or 23 metric tons.] of gold.



Cities and Ships

10 And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built

the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house,

11 (now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees

and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then

king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon

had given him; and they pleased him not.

13 And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother?

And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.

14 And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.

1 Kings 8



54 (Lk 22:45) Now when Solomon finished praying this prayer

and making supplication to the Lord, he arose from before the altar

of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

55 (1Ki 8:14; 2Sa 6:18) He stood up and blessed all the congregation

of Israel with a loud voice, saying,

56 (Dt 12:10; Jos 23:14-15) "Blessed be the Lord who has given rest

to His people Israel according to all that He promised.

Not one word of His promises which He gave by the hand of Moses

His servant has failed.

57 (Dt 31:6; Jos 1:5) The Lord our God be with us, as He was with

our fathers. Let Him neither leave us nor forsake us,

58 (Ps 119:36; Jer 31:33) that He may incline our hearts to Him,

to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments, statutes,

and judgments, which He commanded our fathers.

59 And let these my words, with which I have made supplication

before the Lord, be close to the Lord our God day and night,

that He will maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people

Israel at all times as the situation demands,

60 (Dt 4:35; 1Ki 18:39) so that all the people of the earth may know

that the Lord is God and that there is none else.

61 (1Ki 11:4; 2Ki 20:3) Let your hearts, therefore, be perfect

with the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes

and keep His commandments, as at this day."



[54] And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this

prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the

LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.

[55] And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud

voice, saying,

[56] Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel,

according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his

good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

[57] The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not

leave us, nor forsake us:

[58] That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and

to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he

commanded our fathers.

[59] And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the

LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the

cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as

the matter shall require:

[60] That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and

that there is none else.

[61] Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in

his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.



The Dedication of the Temple



2Ch 7:1-10



62 (2Sa 6:17-19) The king and all Israel with him offered sacrifices

before the Lord.

63 (Ezr 6:16-17; Ne 12:27) Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings,

which he offered to the Lord,2 2 000 oxen and 120000 sheep.

So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the Lord.

64 (2Ch 4:1) The same day the king consecrated the middle of the court

that was in front of the house of the Lord, for there he offered

burnt offerings and meat offerings and the fat of the peace offerings,

because the bronze altar that was before the Lord was too little to receive

the burnt offerings and meat offerings and the fat of the peace offerings.

65 (Nu 34:5; 34:8; 1Ki 8:2) At that time, Solomon held a feast

for all Israel, a great congregation, from the entry of Lebo Hamath

to the Brook of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days

and another seven days, a total of fourteen days.

66 On the eighth day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king

and went to their tents rejoicing in their hearts for all the goodness

that the Lord had done for David His servant and for Israel His people.



[62] And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the

LORD.

[63] And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered

unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty

thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the

house of the LORD.

[64] The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was

before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat

offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that

was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat

offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.

[65] And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great

congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before

the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.

[66] On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king,

and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that

the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.



2 Chronicles 7

Solomon Dedicates the Temple



1Ki 8:62-66



1 (1Ki 18:38; Lev 9:23-24) And when Solomon finished praying, fire came

down from the heavens and consumed the burnt offering and sacrifices,

and the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

2 (2Ch 5:14) And the priests were not able to enter

into the house of the Lord, for the glory of the Lord filled the Lord's house.

3 (2Ch 5:13; 20:21) And all the sons of Israel saw when the fire came down

and the glory of the Lord came on the temple, and they bowed their faces

low to the ground on the pavement, and they worshipped confessing,

"The Lord is good, and His mercy endures forever."

4 Then the king and all the people were making sacrifices before the Lord.

5 King Solomon sacrificed 22000 oxen and 120000 sheep.

So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

6 (2Ch 5:12; 1Ch 15:16-21) The priests stood at their positions,

with the Levites and all their instruments of music for the Lord

that King David had made to praise the Lord-for His mercy endures

forever-when David gave praise by their ministry, and the priests

sounded trumpets opposite the Levites, and all Israel stood.

7 And Solomon consecrated the middle of the court that was

in front of the house of the Lord because there he made burnt offerings

and the fat of peace offerings (because the bronze altar that Solomon

made was surely not able to contain the burnt offerings,

grain offerings, and fat offerings).

8 (Ge 15:18; 1Ki 8:65) And at the appointed time, Solomon made a feast

for seven days, and all Israel's a very great assembly-was with him,

from the entrance of Lebo Hamath in the north to the Brook of Egypt

in the south.

9 (Lev 23:36) Then on the eighth day they made a solemn assembly

because they had made a consecration of the altar for seven days

and then the feast for seven days more.

10 Then on the twenty-third day of the seventh month

Solomon sent the people away to their homes. They were joyful

and good of heart because of what the Lord had done for David,

Solomon, and His people Israel.



2 Chronicles 7

The Glory of the Lord

1 Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven,

and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD

filled the house.

2 And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD,

because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house.

3 And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down,

and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their

faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD,

saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.

5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen,

and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people

dedicated the house of God.

6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments

of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD,

because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry;

and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

7 Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was

before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings,

and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon

had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings,

and the meat offerings, and the fat.

8 Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel

with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath

unto the river of Egypt.

9 And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept

the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.

10 And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent

the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness

that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.



1 Kings 9



The Lord Appears to Solomon



2Ch 7:11-22



1 (1Ki 9:19) When Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord

and the king's house and all else he desired,

2 (1Ki 3:5; 11:9; 2Ch 7:12) the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time,

as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3 (Dt 11:12; 1Ki 8:29) The Lord said to him,

"I have heard your prayer and supplication, which you made before Me.

I have consecrated this house which you built by putting

My name there forever. And My eyes and My heart shall be there perpetually.

4 (Ge 17:1; 1Ki 11:4) "If you will walk before Me,

as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and uprightness,

so that you are obedient to do all that I have commanded you,

and will keep My statutes and My judgments,

5 (1Ki 2:4; 6:12) then I will establish the throne of your kingdom

upon Israel forever, just as I promised to your father David, saying,

'You shall not fail to have a man upon the throne of Israel.'

6 (2Sa 7:14-16; 1Ch 28:9) 'But if you and your sons turn in any way

from following Me and do not keep My commandments

and My statutes which I have set before you, but go

and serve other gods and worship them,

7 (Dt 28:37; Ps 44:14) then I will cut Israel out of the land which I have

given them, and I will cast this house, which I have consecrated

for My name, out of My sight, and Israel shall be a proverb

and a byword among all people.

8 (Jer 22:8-9; Dt 29:24-26) And everyone who passes by this high house

will be astonished and will hiss, and they shall say,

'Why has the Lord done this to this land, and to this house?'

9 (Dt 29:25-28; Jer 2:10-13) And they will answer, 'Because they forsook

the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt,

and took hold of other gods and have worshipped and served them.

That is why the Lord has brought all this disaster upon them.' "

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Hebr 11:6



6 (1Ch 28:9; Jer 29:13-14) And without faith it is impossible to please God,

for he who comes to God must believe that He exists

and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.



6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh

to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them

that diligently seek him.



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



When you are Burdened by Doubt



Matt 7:7-11



Ask, Seek, Knock



Lk 11:9-13



7(Mt 21:22; Mk 11:24) "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;

knock and it will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds,

and to him who knocks, it will be opened.

9 "What man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread,

will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake?

11 (Ge 6:5; 8:21) If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts

to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give

good things to those who ask Him!



7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,

and it shall be opened unto you:

8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;

and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread,

will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,

how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things

to them that ask him?



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."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 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

of Muslims scattered around 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 attracted 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 religion 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 overwhelm by this cultural double-whammy,

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

Agree in prayer for :



- The 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 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

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

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

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

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

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

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

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

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

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



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

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

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

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

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

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

house."



Ideas for prayer



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

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

Christ among Muslim people -

And



Thank you for praying through the

5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.



"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,

I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to

cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.



Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians

and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the

love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.

One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by

light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.



As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and

confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution

to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.



Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.

Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father

to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.



I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs.

God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through

the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom

and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."



13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy

and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,

through the power of the Holy Spirit.

2 Chronicles 6:12-42



Solomon's Prayer

12 And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all

the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:

13 for Solomon had made a brasen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five

cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court:

and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all

the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven,

14 and said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven,

nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants,

that walk before thee with all their hearts:

15 thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou

hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with

thine hand, as it is this day.

16 Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father

that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in

my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed

to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

17 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou

hast spoken unto thy servant David.

18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven

and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which

I have built!

19 Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant,

and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer

which thy servant prayeth before thee:

20 that thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night,

upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there;

to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.

21 Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people

Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling

place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.

22 If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make

him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;

23 then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting

the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying

the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

24 And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they

have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray

and make supplication before thee in this house;

25 then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel,

and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their

fathers.

26 When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned

against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name,

and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;

27 then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants,

and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way,

wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land,

which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.

28 If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be

blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege

them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness

there be:

29 then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man,

or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore

and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

30 then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive,

and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou

knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men : )

31 that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live

in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

32 Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel,

but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty

hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;

33 then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do

according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people

of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel,

and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

34 If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou

shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast

chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;

35 then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication,

and maintain their cause.

36 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,)

and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies,

and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;

37 yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried

captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying,

We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;

38 if they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul

in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives,

and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers,

and toward the city which thou hast chosen,

and toward the house which I have built for thy name:

39 then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place,

their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause,

and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.

40 Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears

be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

41 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou,

and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God,

be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed:

remember the mercies of David thy servant.

Seasons of Love by Patricia Raybon



Romans 5:6-8



6 (Ro 4:25; 5:8_ While we were yet weak, in due time Christ died

for the ungodly.

7 Rarely for a righteous man will one die. Yet perhaps for a good man

some would even dare to die.

8 (Jn 15:13; 1Pe 3:18) But God demonstrates His own love toward us,

in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.



[6] For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the

ungodly.

[7] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a

good man some would even dare to die.

[8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet

sinners, Christ died for us.



Flowers don't have to be in bloom to be beautiful, says famed landscape

designer Piet Oudolf. Even in the dead of winter, the Dutch gardener's

award-winning designs are known for their stunning appeal. "Beauty is in so

many things you wouldn't think of," Oudolf says, although some may disagree.

"The moment you say I love plants that are dead [dormant]," he said,

"then you have a problem because people don't like dead plants."



Oudolf's appreciation of plants' life cycles echoes a core spiritual

principle: While we were dead in our sins, God still loved us. "You see,"

explained the apostle Paul, "at just the right time, when we were still

powerless, Christ died for the ungodly” (Romans 5:6). Paul continued,

"God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners,

Christ died for us" (v. .



Jesus chose disciples with flaws. He ate meals with known sinners. He healed

outcasts. Oudolf, likewise, is "interested in plants not only for their

flowers, but also for their personality"-seeing beauty "in things that,

on first sight, are not beautiful."



As bearers of God's image, we show Him to the world in how we relate to Him

and each other. Planted in His love, we're anointed by our Father to bloom

anew in Him - once - dead sinners showing His beauty to a world longing

for a glimpse of Him.



Reflect & Pray



In what season of your life did God call you?

How can you spiritually bloom so others can see His image in you?



You called me when I was dead in my sins, dear

God. Thank You for saving me to bloom anew in You.

Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 6 Humility and Exaltation



1 Peter 5:6-7



6 (Jas 4:10; Mt 23:12) Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,

that He may exalt you in due time.

7 (Ps 55:22; 37:5) Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you.



6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God,

that he may exalt you in due time:

7 casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.



"I was so humble I was given an award for humility," the pastor quipped.

"They gave me a humility plaque - but they had to take it back when I hung it

on my office wall."

Humility is rare among 20th Century Christians. Our pride takes two

seemingly contradictory forms: Self-exaltation and self-denial. But both

focus on self, not on God.

Francois Fenelon, 17th century French archbishop, From his

"Letters of Spiritual Counsel" wrote:

"He who so completely forget himself that he never thinks of self ... is

truly humble. If we had the light to discern it, we should see clearly that

when we think we are humbling ourselves we are exalting ourselves;

when we think we are annihilating ourselves we are seeking out own life."

True humility, as Fenelon implies, means recognising who we are in the light

of who God is. Excess of self-importance and low self-esteem are both

self-centered perspectives; true humility is God-centered.

When we humble ourselves, we become intensely aware of God and less

aware of ourselves. We can focus on his face and get our eyes off our own

image. We can stop worrying about how others perceive us. Such humbling

is difficult - as one 70-year-old saint joked, "It ain't the heat that gets

you, it's the humility." But when we submit to him and fell the weight of the

"Mighty hand of God" upon us, we can forget ourselves, abandon

ourselves to his presence, and cast our cares upon him.



Application



a) What form does my pride usually take - self-exaltation or self-degradation?



b) Why must I humble myself in order for the Lord to lift me up?



c) How can today's verse encourage me when times are tough?

Solomon's Prayer

22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all

the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:

23 and he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven

above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants

that walk before thee with all their heart:

24 who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him:

thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as

it is this day.

25 Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father

that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight

to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way,

that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.

26 And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified,

which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.

27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven

of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?

28 Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his

supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer,

which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:

29 that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward

the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest

hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.

30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people

Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven

thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.

31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him

to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:

32 then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning

the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous,

to give him according to his righteousness.

33 When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have

sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name,

and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:

34 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and

bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.

35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned

against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn

from their sin, when thou afflictest them:

36 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy

people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk,

and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an

inheritance.

37 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew,

locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land

of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;

38 what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy

people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart,

and spread forth his hands toward this house:

39 then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and

give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest;

(for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)

40 that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which

thou gavest unto our fathers.

41 Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but

cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;

42 (for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and

of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;

43 hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that

the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know

thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know

that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.

44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever

thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which

thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:

45 then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication,

and maintain their cause.

46 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and

thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry

them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;

47 yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried

captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that

carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we

have committed wickedness;

48 and so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul,

in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto

thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which

thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

49 then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven

thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,

50 and forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their

transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them

compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion

on them:

51 for they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth

out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:

52 that thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto

the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they

call for unto thee.

53 For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be

thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant,

when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.



2 Chronicles 6:12-42



Solomon's Prayer of Dedication

1Ki 8:22-53; Ps 132:8-10



12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord before all the assembly

of Israel and spread out his hands.

13 (1Ki 8:54; Ne 8:4) For Solomon made a bronze platform and set it

in the midst of the enclosure. It was five cubits in length, five cubits

in width, and three cubits in height.

[About 7 1/2 feet long and wide, and 41/2 feet high;

or 2.3 meters long and wide, and 1.4 meters high. ]

And he stood on it and knelt down before all the assembly of Israel

and spread out his hands to heaven.

14 (Ex 15:11; Dt 7:9) And he said:

"O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like You in the heavens

or on the earth, who keeps covenants and mercy with Your servants

who walk before You with all their heart.

15 (1Ch 22:9-10) You have kept what You promised Your servant David

my father. You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it

with Your hand, as it is this day.

16 (1Ki 2:4; 2Ch 7:18) "And now, O Lord God of Israel, keep what

You promised Your servant David my father saying,

'You will not lack a man sitting on the throne of Israel before Me,

if only your sons take heed to their way to walk in My law

as you have walked before Me.'

17 And now, O Lord God of Israel, may Your word be confirmed

which You have spoken to Your servant David.

18 (2Ch 2:6; Isa 66:1) "For will God indeed dwell with man on the earth?

The heavens, even the highest heavens, are not able to contain You,

much less this house that I have built.

19 But respond to the prayer of Your servant and to his plea, O Lord my God,

to listen to the cry and prayer of Your servant who prays before You,

20 (Ps 34:15) that Your eyes might be open toward this house

both day and night, to the place that You have said that You will

set Your name, in order to hear the prayer of Your servant for this place.

21 (Isa 43:25; Mic 7:18) And listen to the pleas of Your servant

and Your people Israel when they pray toward this place.

And may You respond from heaven, the place of Your dwelling,

so that You hear and forgive.

22 (Ex 22:11) "If a man sins against his companion, and the companion swears

and puts him under a curse, and the wronged man comes with an oath before

Your altar at this temple,

23 then You will hear from heaven, and You will act and judge Your servants,

to repay the guilty one by bringing his way on his own head; and to vindicate

the innocent one by rendering to him according to his righteous behavior.

24 (Lev 26:17) "If Your people Israel are struck before enemies

because they have sinned against You, and they return and confess Your name

and pray and seek Your favor in this house,

25 then You will hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel,

and You will bring them back to the land that You gave them and their fathers.

26 (Lev 26:19; Dt 11:17) "When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because

they have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess

Your name and turn from their sin when You afflict them,

27 (Ps 94:12) then You will hear from heaven and forgive the sin

of Your servants and Your people Israel because You will teach them the good

path in which they will walk, and You will send rain on the land that

You have given to Your people as a possession.

28 "When there is famine in the land or when there is pestilence, blight,

mildew, winged locust, or grasshopper, or when enemies besiege them

in the land up to their city gates, in whatever plague or sickness,

29 whatever prayer or plea that is made by any man or by all your people

Israel, when each man knows his own affliction and his own sorrow,

and stretches out his hands toward this house,

30 (1Ch 28:9; 1Sa 16:7) then You will hear from heaven, the place

of the habitation of Your dwelling, and forgive, and You will render

to each according to his conduct, for You know their hearts

(for You alone know the heart of people),

31 so that they may fear You and walk in Your ways all the days

that they live on the land that You have given to our fathers.

32 (Ex 3:19–20; Isa 56:3-7) "When foreigners are not from

Your people Israel and come from a distant land,

because of Your great name, mighty hand, and outstretched arm,

and they come and pray toward this house,

33 (2Ch 7:14) then hear from heaven, from Your dwelling place,

and act on everything for which the foreigner calls on You,

that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You,

as do Your people Israel; and that they may know that this house

which I have built is called by Your name.

34 "When Your people go out to battle against their enemies,

in the way that You send them, and when they pray to You toward

this city that You have chosen and the house that I have built for Your name,

35 then hear from heaven their prayer and plea and act for their cause.

36 (Ecc 7:20; Jas 3:2) "When they sin against You

(for there is no one who does not sin) and You are angry against them

and give them to their enemies, and they are taken captive to a land,

whether distant or near, 37and they turn their hearts in the land

that they have been taken captive, and they repent

and seek Your favor in the land of captivity saying,

'We have sinned, done wrong, and acted wickedly,'

38 and if they turn in repentance to You with all their heart

and all their soul in the land of their captivity that they were taken to,

and pray toward the land that You have given to their fathers,

and toward the city that You have chosen, and toward the house

that I have built for Your name,

39 then hear from heaven, from Your dwelling place,

their prayer and supplication, and maintain their cause,

and forgive the people who have sinned against You.

40 (2Ch 7:15; Ps 17:1) "Now, O my God, may Your eyes be open

and Your ears attentive to the prayer that I offer in this place.

41 (1Ch 28:2; Ne 9:25) "Now rise up, O Lord God, to Your resting place,

both You and the ark of Your strength.

And let Your priests, O Lord God, be clothed in salvation

and Your loyal ones rejoice in goodness.

42 (Isa 55:3; Ps 132:1) O Lord God, do not turn Your face from Your anointed.

Remember the mercies of Your servant David."

2 Chronicles 6:1-11



2 Chronicles 6

1 (Ex 20:21; 1Ki 8:12-50) Then Solomon said, "The Lord has said

that He would dwell in the dark cloud.

2 But I have built for You an exalted house,

even a habitation where You can continually dwell."



1 Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick

darkness.

2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy

dwelling for ever.



Solomon's Speech



3 (1Ki 8:14) Then the king turned his face around,

and he blessed the entire assembly of Israel while

all the assembly of Israel was standing before him.

4 And he said:

"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel who spoke with David

my father and fulfilled His promise saying,

5 'Since the day that I brought out My people from the land of Egypt,

I did not choose any city from among the tribes of Israel to build

a house for My name to dwell there, nor did I select a man

to be the leader over My people Israel;

6 (1Ch 28:4; 2Ch 12:13) but I have chosen Jerusalem for

My name to dwell there, and I have selected David

to be over My people Israel.'

7 (1Ki 5:3; 1Ch 17:1) "And it was in the heart of David my father

to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

8 But the Lord said to David my father, 'Whereas it was in your heart

to build a house for My name, you did well because

of what was in your heart;

9 only you will not be the one to build the house. For your son, who will be

born to you, he will build a house for My name.'

10 "The Lord has fulfilled the word that He spoke. For I have risen up in

the place of David my father and sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord

spoke, and I will build the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

11 (2Ch 5:10; 5:7) And there I have set the ark, in which is the covenant

of the Lord that He made with the children of Israel."



3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel:

and all the congregation of Israel stood.

4 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands

fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,

5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt

I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that

my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people

Israel:

6 but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen

David to be over my people Israel.

7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name

of the LORD God of Israel.

8 But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart

to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:

9 notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come

forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

10 The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am

risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel,

as the LORD promised, and have built the house

for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD,

that he made with the children of Israel.



1 Kings 8



Solomon's Prayer of Dedication

2Ch 6:12-40

22 (Ezr 9:5; Ex 9:33) Then Solomon stood in front of the altar of the Lord

in the presence of all the congregation of Israel and spread his hands

toward heaven.

23 (Dt 7:9; 2Sa 7:22) and he said,

"Lord God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above

or on earth below who keeps covenant and mercy with Your servants

who walk before You with all their hearts,

24 (1Ki 8:15) who have kept what You promised Your servant David my father.

You spoke also with Your mouth and have fulfilled it with Your hand,

as it is this day.

25 (1Ki 2:4) "Therefore, Lord God of Israel, now keep what You promised

Your servant David my father, saying, 'You will not fail to have a man sit

before Me on the throne of Israel, so long as your sons take heed

to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.'

26 Now, O God of Israel, let Your word, I pray, be fulfilled,

which You spoke to Your servant David my father.

27 (Jer 23:24; 2Ch 2:6; Isa 66:1) "But will God indeed dwell on the earth?

See, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You.

How much less can this house that I have built?

28 Yet give consideration to the prayer of Your servant

and to his supplication, O Lord my God; listen to the cry

and to the prayer which Your servant prays before You today,

29 (Dt 12:11; Ne 1:6) that Your eyes may be upon this house night

and day, even toward the place of which You have said,

'My name shall be there,' that You may listen to the prayer

which Your servant shall make toward this place.

30 (1Ki 8:34; 8:36) Please listen to the supplication of Your servant

and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place.

May You hear in heaven, Your dwelling place,

and when You hear, forgive.

31 (Ex 22:8-11) "If any man sins against his neighbor, and an oath

be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath comes

before Your altar in this house,

32 (Dt 25:1) then may You hear in heaven and act and judge

Your servants, condemning the wicked, bringing his way

on his own head, and justifying the righteous,

giving him according to his righteousness.

33 (Lev 26:17; Dt 28:25) "When Your people Israel are defeated

by their enemies, because they have sinned against You,

and they turn back to You and call upon Your name and pray

and make supplication to You in this house,

34 then may You hear in heaven and forgive the sin of Your people

Israel and bring them again to the land which You gave to their fathers.

35 (Lev 26:19; Dt 11:17) "When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain,

because they have sinned against You, if they pray toward this place

and call upon Your name and turn from their sin when You afflict them,

36 (1Sa 12:23; Ps 27:11) then may You hear in heaven

and forgive the sin of Your servants and Your people Israel,

that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk

and give rain upon Your land which You have given

to Your people as an inheritance.

37 (Lev 26:16; Dt 28:21-22) "When there is famine in the land,

if there is plague, blight, mildew, locust, or grasshopper;

if their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities;

whatever plague, whatever sickness there is;

38 whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by anyone,

or by all Your people Israel, each knowing the affliction of his own heart,

and spreading his hands toward this house;

39 (1Sa 16:7; 1Ch 28:9) then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive,

and act, and render to everyone according to all his ways, whose hearts

You know-for only You know the hearts of the sons of men=

40 (Ps 130:4) so that they may fear You all the days that they live

in the land that You gave to our fathers.

41 (1Ki 10:1-2) "Also concerning the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel

and comes from a far country for Your name's sake

42 (Dt 3:24) (for they will hear of Your great name and of Your strong hand

and of Your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house,

43 (1Sa 17:46; Ps 102:15) may You hear in heaven, Your dwelling place,

and do all that the foreigner asks of You, so all people of the earth

will know Your name, to fear You as Your people Israel do,

and that they may know that this house, which I have built,

is called by Your name.

44 "If Your people go out to battle against their enemy

wherever You send them, and they pray to the Lord toward

the city which You have chosen and toward the house that

I have built for Your name,

45 then may You hear their prayer and supplication in heaven

and maintain their cause.

46 (Ecc 7:20; Pr 20:9; Lev 26:34-39) "If they sin against You

(for there is no man who does not sin),

and You get angry with them and hand them over to the enemy

so that they are carried away as captives to the land of the enemy,

ar or near,

47 (Ps 106:6; Ezr 9:6-7) yet when they come to their senses

while in the land where they were carried captives and repent

and make supplication to You, saying,

'We have sinned and have acted perversely and have committed wickedness,'

48 (Da 6:10; Dt 4:29) and so return to You with all their hearts

and with all their souls in the land of their enemies, who carried them away

as captives, and pray to You toward their land,which You gave

to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the house

which I have built for Your name,

49 then may You hear their prayers and supplications in heaven,

Your dwelling place, and maintain their cause,

50 (Ps 106:46; 2Ch 30:9) and forgive Your people who have sinned against

You and all their transgressions which they committed against You

and grant them compassion before those who carried them away as captives,

so they will have compassion on them.

51 (Dt 4:20; Jer 11:4) For they are Your people and Your inheritance

whom You brought forth out of Egypt from the midst of the furnace of iron.

52 (1Ki 8:29) "Let Your eyes be open to the supplication of Your servant

and to the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them regarding

all for which they call upon You.

53 (Ex 19:5-6; Dt 32:9) For You did call them out from among all the people

of the earth to be Your inheritance, as You spoke by the hand of Moses

Your servant when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God."

The Ark Brought to the Temple



2Ch 5:2-6:11

1 (2Ch 5:2-10; 2Sa 6:12-17) Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel

and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children

of Israel, before King Solomon in Jerusalem, so that they could ensure

that the ark of the covenant of the Lord would be brought

out of the City of David in Zion.

2 (Lev 23:34; 2Ch 7:8-10) All the men of Israel assembled themselves

before King Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim,

which is the seventh month.

3 (Dt 31:9; Jos 3:6) All the elders of Israel came,

and the priests carried the ark.

4 (1Ki 3:4; 2Ch 1:3) The priests and Levites brought up the ark of the Lord,

the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy implements that were

in the tabernacle.

5 (2Sa 6:13) King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were

assembled before him stood together in front of the ark,

sacrificing so many sheep and oxen

that they could not be told or numbered.

6 (2Sa 6:17; 1Ki 6:19) The priests brought in the ark of the covenant

of the Lord to its place in the inner sanctuary of the house,

to the Most Holy Place under the wings of the cherubim.

7 For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place

of the ark and covered the ark and the poles from above.

8 (Ex 25:13-15; 37:4-5) The poles were so long that the ends of the poles

could be seen out in the holy place in front of the inner sanctuary,

but they could not be seen from outside, and they are there to this day.

9 (Ex 25:21; 40:20; Heb 9:4) There was nothing in the ark except

for the two tablets of stone that Moses put there at Horeb

when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel

after they had come out of the land of Egypt.

10 (Ex 40:34-35; 2Ch 7:1-2) And when the priests came out of the holy place,

the cloud filled the house of the Lord,

11 so that the priests could not continue to minister because of the cloud,

for the glory of the Lord filled the house of the Lord.



1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the

tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon

in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out

of the city of David, which is Zion.

2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the

feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

4 And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the

congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle,

even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.

5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled

unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that

could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his

place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under

the wings of the cherubims.

7 For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark,

and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

8 And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in

the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there

they are unto this day.

9 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put

there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel,

when they came out of the land of Egypt.

10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place,

that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

11 so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud:

for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.



2 Chronicles 5



1 (1Ki 7:51) Thus all the work that Solomon did for the house of the Lord

was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father

had dedicated: the silver and the gold and all the furnishings

in the treasury of the house of God.



The Ark Brought to the Temple



1Ki 8:1-21

2 (2Sa 6:12; 2Ch 1:4) Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel

and all the heads of the tribes and the leaders of the houses of the fathers

among the sons of Israel to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord

from the City of David, which is Zion.

3 (1Ki 8:2; 2Ch 7:8-10) And all the men of Israel were assembled

before the king at the feast, which is the seventh month.

Tishri or Ethanim in the Hebrew calendar.

4 (Jos 3:6; 1Ki 8:3) All the elders of Israel came, and the Levites

carried the ark.

5Then they brought up the ark, and the tent of meeting,

and all the holy vessels that were in the tent.

So the Levitical priests brought them up.

6 And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel,

who were assembled with him before the ark,

were sacrificing so many sheep and oxen

that they could not be counted or numbered.

7 The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place-

to the inner sanctuary of the temple, into the Most Holy Place,

under the wings of the cherubim.

8 Then the cherubim wings were spread out over the place of the ark

so that the cherubim covered the ark and its poles.

9 (1Ki 8:8-9) The poles were extended so that the ends of the poles

of the ark were seen in front of the Most Holy Place,

but they were not seen outside; and they are still there to this day.

10 (Heb 9:4; Dt 10:2-5) In the ark there was nothing except the two tablets

that Moses had given at Mount Horeb where the Lord made a covenant

with the sons of Israel when they went out from Egypt.

11 When the priests came out from the Most Holy Place-for all the priests who

were present had consecrated themselves, without keeping separate divisions-

12 (1Ch 15:24; 6:33) and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman,

and Jeduthun, with their sons and relatives, all clothed in fine linen,

with cymbals, harps, and lyres, stood to the east of the altar,

and with them one hundred and twenty priests

who were sounding with trumpets,

13 (2Ch 7:3; Ezr 3:11) it happened, when the trumpet players and singers

made one sound to praise and give thanks to the Lord,

and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals

and all the instruments of music and praised the Lord saying,

"For He is good

and His mercy endures forever,"

that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud.

14 (Ex 40:35; 2Ch 7:2) And the priests were not able to stand in order

to serve because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord had filled

the house of God.



2 Chronicles 5

1 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished:

and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated;

and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among

the treasures of the house of God.



The Dedication



2 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the

tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem,

to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David,

which is Zion.

3 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king

in the feast which was in the seventh month.

4 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.

5 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation,

and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests

and the Levites bring up.

6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled

unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told

nor numbered for multitude.

7 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his

place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the

wings of the cherubims:

8 for the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark,

and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

9 And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves

were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without.

And there it is unto this day.

10 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein

at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel,

when they came out of Egypt.

11 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place:

(for all the priests that were present were sanctified,

and did not then wait by course:

12 also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman,

of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen,

having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar,

and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets : )

13 it came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make

one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted

up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and

praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever:

that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;

14 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud:

for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.



1 Kings 8



12 (Ps 97:2; Lev 16:2) Then Solomon spoke, saying,

"The Lord said that He would dwell in the thick darkness.

13 (2Sa 7:13; Ex 15:17) I have surely built You a house to dwell in,

a settled place for You to abide in forever."

14 (2Sa 6:18) Then the king turned around and blessed all the congregation

of Israel (and all the congregation of Israel stood),

15 (Lk 1:68; 1Ch 29:10) and he said,

"Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spoke with His mouth to my father

David and has with His hand fulfilled His word, saying,

16 (1Sa 16:1; Dt 12:11) 'Since the day that I brought forth My people Israel

out of Egypt, I chose no city from any tribe of Israel to build a house

where My name might be praised, but I chose David to be over

My people Israel.'

17 (2Sa 7:2-3) "My father David had it in mind to build a house for the name

of the Lord God of Israel.

18 The Lord said to my father David, 'Whereas it was in your heart to build

a house for My name, you had good intentions.

19 (2Sa 7:5; 7:12-13) Nevertheless, you shall not build the house,

but your son who will come out of your loins,

he shall build the house for My name.'

20 (1Ch 28:5-6) "The Lord has fulfilled His word that He spoke,

and I have been elevated to the position of my father David,

to sit on the throne of Israel as the Lord promised, and have built a house

for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

21 (Dt 31:26; 1Ki 8:9) I have set a place there for the ark, which houses

the covenant of the Lord which He made with our fathers

when He brought them out of the land of Egypt."



12 Then spake Solomon,

The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

13 I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee

to abide in for ever.

14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation

of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)

15 and he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his

mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,

16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt,

I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house,

that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.

17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name

of the LORD God of Israel.

18 And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart

to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.

19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come

forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.

20 And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up

in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD

promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the

LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of

Egypt.
