Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an Islamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women who were wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to Islam.



Agree in prayer with us for:

- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.



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!



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, ...) .



Conclusion:



Pray to the Lord and pray to the Lord for godly people to rise in all nations.



Pray to the Lord: "Loving God, please help me rest

in Your perfect plans for my life."



Pray to the Lord and pray to give Him a SONG FROM YouR HEART.



Pray to the Lord and pray to have love and charity.



Pray to the Lord and pray to lean on His strength and integrity.

Judges 7



Gideon Defeats the Midianites



1 Then Jerub-Baal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with

him got up early and set up camp at Harod Spring.

There was a camp of Midianites to the north of them in the valley

near the hill of Moreh.

2 The Lord said to Gideon, "You have too many people with you for Me

to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel glorify themselves

over Me, saying, 'Our own power saved us.'

3 So now, call out so the people can hear, 'Whoever is afraid or anxious

may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.' "

So 20000 from among the people turned back, and 10000 were left.

4 But the Lord said to Gideon, "There are still too many people.

Bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there.

When I say to you, "This one will go with you,' he will go with you.

Everyone about whom I will say,' 'This one will not go with you,'

will not go."

5 So he brought the people down to the water, and the Lord said to Gideon,

"You shall set apart by himself everyone who laps the water with his tongue

like dogs; likewise, everyone who kneels down to drink."

6 The number of those who lapped, putting their hands to their mouths,

was three hundred. The rest of the people had knelt to drink water.

7 The Lord said to Gideon, "With three hundred men who lapped to drink,

I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands.

All the rest of the people should go home."

8 So the three hundred men took provisions and ram's horn trumpets

in their hands. Gideon sent all the other Israelite men to their tents,

but he kept the three hundred men.

Now the Midianite camp was below him in the valley.

9 That night the Lord said to him, "Get up and go down into the camp,

for I have given it into your hands.

10 Yet if you are afraid to go down, then go down to the camp with Purah

your servant.

11 Listen to what they say, and afterward you will be emboldened to go down

to the camp.." So he and Purah his servant went down near the edge

of the camp.

12 Now the Midianites, Amalekites, and the Kedemites covered the valley

like locusts; and their camels could not be counted, for they were

as numerous as grains of sand on the seashore.

13 Gideon came and overheard one man who was telling his dream to another.

The man said, "Listen to a dream I had. I saw a dry cake of barley bread

rolling into the Midianite camp. It rolled up to a tent and struck it.

It fell, turned upside down, and collapsed."

14 The other man responded, "This is none other than the sword of Gideon

son of Joash the Israelite. God has given Midian and the whole camp into

his hands."

15 When Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation,

he worshipped, returned to the camp of Israel, and said, "Get up, for the Lord

has given the Midianite camp into your hands."

16 He divided the three hundred men into three combat units.

He gave all of them ram's horn trumpets, empty jars,

and torches within the jars.

17 He said to them, "Look at me and do likewise. Watch, and when I come

to the perimeter of the camp, do as I do.

18 When I and all who are with me blow the horn, then you will blow the horns

all around the camp and shout, 'For the Lord and for Gideon!' "

19 So Gideon and a hundred men with him went to the edge of the camp

at the start of the middle night watch, just as they were setting the watch.

Then they blew the horns and smashed the jars in their hands.

20 The three combat units blew the horns and broke the jars.

They held the torches in their left hands and the horns for

blowing in their right hands. They called out,

"A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!"

21 Every man stood in his place all around the camp,

but the men in the camp ran, shouted, and fled.

22 When they blew the three hundred horns, the Lord turned every man's

sword against his fellow man throughout the camp. The Midianite camp

fled to Beth Shittah in the direction of Zererah, up to the border

of Abel Meholah, near Tabbath.

23 The men of Israel from Naphtali, Asher, and all of Manasseh

were summoned, and they chased after the Midianites.

24 Now Gideon sent messengers throughout the hill country of Ephraim, saying,

"Come down to engage Midian in battle.

Take control of the water ways as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan."

All the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they took control of the water

ways as far as Beth Barah and the Jordan.

25 They captured Oreb and Zeeb, the two Midianite commanders.

They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb and killed Zeeb at the winepress of Zeeb.

They chased after the Midianites and brought the heads of Oreb

and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan.



Judges 7



[1] Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him,

rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the

Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the

valley.

[2] And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too

many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt

themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.

[3] Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying,

Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount

Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there

remained ten thousand.

[4] And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them

down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be,

that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go

with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee,

the same shall not go.

[5] So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto

Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog

lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down

upon his knees to drink.

[6] And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth,

were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their

knees to drink water.

[7] And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will

I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the

other people go every man unto his place.

[8] So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he

sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those

three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.

[9] And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise,

get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand.

[10] But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to

the host:

[11] And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be

strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his

servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host.

[12] And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east

lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels

were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.

[13] And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream

unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of

barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and

smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.

[14] And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword

of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God

delivered Midian, and all the host.

[15] And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the

interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of

Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host

of Midian.

[16] And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a

trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the

pitchers.

[17] And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I

come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.

[18] When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye

the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the

LORD, and of Gideon.

[19] So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the

outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but

newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that

were in their hands.

[20] And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and

held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to

blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.

[21] And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the

host ran, and cried, and fled.

[22] And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's

sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to

Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath.

[23] And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and

out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.

[24] And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come

down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Beth-barah

and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and

took the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan.

[25] And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they

slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb,

and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the

other side Jordan.

God's View by Tom Felten



Exodus 14:1-4,8,10-14





Crossing the Red Sea



1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Jer 44:1; Nu 33:7-8) Speak to the children of Israel, so that they turn

and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea,

before Baal Zephon. Opposite it you shall camp by the sea.

3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel,

"They are confused in the land. The wilderness has shut them in."

4 (Ex 7:5; Ro 9:17) So I will harden Pharaoh's heart,

so that he shall pursue them.

And I will be honored because of Pharaoh

and because of all his army,

so that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they did so.

8 (Nu 33:3; Ac 13:17) The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt,

and he pursued after the children of Israel. However, the children of Israel

went out with confidence.

10 (Jos 24:7; Ne 9:9) When Pharaoh drew near,

the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and indeed,

the Egyptians were marching after them,

and they were extremely terrified,

so the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.

11 (Ps 106:7-8) Then they said to Moses,

"Is it because there were no graves in Egypt

that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness?

Why have you dealt with us in this way, bringing us out of Egypt?

12 (Ex 5:21) Is not this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt,

saying, 'Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians'?

For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians

than to die in the wilderness."

(Oh how courage can melt away in the greatness of aversity)

13 (Ex 14:30; 2Ch 20:17; 20:15) But Moses said to the people,

"Fear not! Stand firm! And see the salvation of the Lord,

which He will show you today. For the Egyptians

whom you have seen today, you shall never see again.

14 (Ex 14:25; Dt 1:30) The Lord shall fight for you,

while you hold your peace."





[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before

Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it

shall ye encamp by the sea.

[3] For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in

the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.

[4] And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and

I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians

may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.

[8] And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued

after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an

high hand.

[10] And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their

eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore

afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.

[11] And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast

thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus

with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?

[12] Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us

alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to

serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

[13] And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the

salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians

whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

[14] The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.



Hudson Taylor was troubled. He'd left England to share the gospel about Christ

in China, and ministry - though challenging - had gone well. But in 1865, as

he considered sending more people to minister to a more dangerous part of the

country, without protection, he felt "intense conflict." After wrestling with

God in prayer, he wrote, "The Lord conquered my unbelief, and I surrendered

myself to God . . . [recognizing] that all responsibility . . . and

consequences must rest with him."



Moses received a call from God that likely left him troubled. As he was

leading the Israelites out of Egypt, God said to Moses, "Tell the Israelites

to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea"

(Exodus 14:2). This meant they were trapped between Pharaoh and a vast body

of water! The Israelites trembled as “Pharaoh approached” (v. 10).

Panic-stricken, they told Moses, "It would have been better for us to serve

the Egyptians than to die in the desert!" (v. 12). But Moses replied,

"Do not be afraid" (v. 13). And he was right. God provided rescue

and victory for His people as they rested in Him (vv. 15-31).



At times, we won't understand what God's doing in our lives because we don't

have His view. It was during such a moment that Hudson Taylor wrote, "As his

servant it was [my responsibility] to obey and to follow him."

We too can rest in God's view and plans.



Reflect & Pray



Why is it vital for you to surrender to God's plans for you?

How can you rest in Him?



Loving God, please help me rest in Your perfect plans for my life.

Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 3 The song of Exaltation



Exodus 15:2



2 The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.

He is my God, and I will praise Him; my father's God, and I will exalt Him.



2 The LORD is my strength and song, And he is become my salvation:

He is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation;

My father's God, and I will exalt him.



The world is full of music that communicates human emotion:

love, joy, sadness, separation.

A love song makes us misty-eyed; a song of protest arouses anger; a song

describing loss stimulates feelings of hurt and abandonment.

Music is a powerful force to sway the human spirit.

Exodus 15:2 indicates that God should be the source of the songs in our hearts.

Human emotions vacillate; human relationships disappoint,

but God is our "strength" and our "song".

To exalt the Lord includes many different type of "songs".

"I can't carry a tune in a bucket," one woman complained.

"How can I sing to the Lord anything that will be pleasing to him?"

But the Lord does not delight in the professionalism of our songs,

but in the motivation of our hearts. We can "sing to the Lord"

when we enjoy a Bach organ piece played for his glory.

We can exalt him in the words of Scripture - either remembered or sung.

We can worship him by enjoying the songs of others.

The key to making the Lord our song is exaltation. When our thoughts

lift him up in praise, we are singing a song of exaltation to the Lord.

When God is exalted in our songs, in our hearts, and in our thoughts,

that focus gives strength to our lives. We can face the difficulties

that are an inevitable part of experience,

because God is our "strength and our song".



Application



a) What is the difference between a song that is professionally performed

and one that exalts the Lord?



b) What practical steps can I take to

make my daily life a "song of praise" to God?

1 Cor 13:3



3 If I give all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned,

and have not love, it profits me nothing.



3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor,

and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity,

it profiteth me nothing.



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



God's Inexhaustible Strength



Ps 18:30-34



30 As for God, His way has integrity;

the word of the Lord is proven;

He is a shield to all those who take refuge in Him.

31 For who is God except the Lord?

Or who is a rock besides our God?

32 It is God who clothes me with strength,

and gives my way integrity.

33 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer,

and causes me to stand on my high places.

34 He trains my hands for war,

so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.



30 As for God, his way is perfect:

The word of the LORD is tried: He is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

31 For who is God save the LORD?

Or who is a rock save our God?

32 It is God that girdeth me with strength,

And maketh my way perfect.

33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet,

And setteth me upon my high places.

34 He teacheth my hands to war,

So that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.



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.

1) Judges 6, Judges 7



Judges 6



Gideon



1 The children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord,

so the Lord gave them into the hands of Midian for seven years.

2 The hands of Midian dominated Israel, and because of Midian

the children of Israel made hiding places for themselves in the mountains,

caves, and strongholds. 3 Whenever Israel would plant crops, the Midianites,

Amalekites, and the people from the east would come up against them.

4 Then they would make camp by them and ruin crops of the land all the way

to Gaza. They did not leave any provisions behind in Israel-neither sheep,

nor cattle, nor donkeys.

5 For they came with their livestock and tents like a swarm of locusts.

They and their camels were too numerous to count, and they came into

the land to destroy it.

6 Israel was made weak before Midian and cried out to the Lord.

7 When the children of Israel cried out to the Lord because of Midian,

8 the Lord sent them a prophet who said, "Thus says the Lord God of Israel:

I brought you up from Egypt and out of that place of slavery.

9 I delivered you from the hands of Egypt and all your oppressors.

I drove them out from before you and gave you their land.

10 I said to you, 'I am the Lord your God. Do not worship the gods of

the Amorites in whose land you are living.' But you have disobeyed Me."

11 Now the angel of the Lord came and sat under the oak tree in Ophrah

belonging to Joash the Abiezrite. Gideon his son was threshing wheat

in a winepress to hide it from the Midianites.

12 The angel of the Lord appeared and said to him,

"The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor."

13 Then Gideon said to him, "O my lord, if the Lord is with us,

then why has all this happened to us? Where are all His miracles

that our fathers told us about? They said, 'Did not the Lord bring

us out of Egypt?' Yet now the Lord has forsaken us and delivered

us into the hands of the Midianites."

14 Then the Lord turned to him and said, "Go in this strength of yours.

Save Israel from the control of Midian. Have I not sent you?"

15 And he said to Him, "O my Lord, how can I save Israel?

Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the youngest

in my father's house."

16 Then the Lord said to him, "But I will be with you, and you will strike

the Midianites as one man."

17 And he said to Him, "If I have found favor in Your sight,

give me a sign that it is You who are speaking with me.

18 Please do not depart from here until I come to You

and bring out my gift and set it before You."

And He said, "I will stay until you return."

19 So Gideon went and prepared a young goat and unleavened bread

from an ephah of flour. He put the meat in a basket, and he put

the broth in a pot, and brought them out and offered them to Him

under the oak.

20 And the angel of God said to him,"Take the meat and the unleavened bread,

lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth." And so he did.

21 The angel of the Lord reached out the tip of the staff that was

in His hand and touched the meat and unleavened flatbread.

Fire rose out of the rock and consumed the meat and unleavened bread.

Then the angel of the Lord departed from his sight.

22 Then Gideon perceived that it was indeed the angel of the Lord.

So Gideon said, "Alas, O Lord God! I have seen

the angel of the Lord face to face."

23 Then the Lord said to him, "Peace be with you. Do not be afraid.

You will not die."

24 Then Gideon built an altar for the Lord there and called it

The Lord Is Peace.

Even to this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

25 That night the Lord said to him, "Take a bull from your father's herd

and a second bull seven years old. Tear down your father's Baal altar

and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.

26 Then build an altar to the Lord your God on top of this stronghold

in an orderly way. Take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering

with the wood of the Asherah pole that you will cut down."

27 So Gideon took ten men from among his slaves

and did as the Lord had told him, but because he was too afraid of the rest

of his father's household and the men of the city to do it by day,

he did it at night.

28 When the men of the city got up early in the morning,

the altar of Baal was torn down, the Asherah pole beside it was cut down,

and the second bull had been offered on the new altar that had been built.

29 They said to each other, "Who has done this?"

When they had inquired and asked, they responded,

"Gideon son of Joash has done this."

30 Then the men of the city said to Joash,

"Bring out your son so that he may die, for he tore down the altar of Baal

and cut down the Asherah pole beside it."

31 Joash then said to all who stood against him, "Would you plead for Baal?

Would you save him? Whoever fights for him will be killed by morning.

If Baal is a god, let him fight for himself,

for someone has torn down his altar."

32 Therefore on that day he called him Jerub-Baal, saying,

"Let Baal fight him, for he tore down the altar of Baal."

33 All the Midianites, Amalekites, and the people from the east gathered

together, and they crossed over, and camped in the Valley of Jezreel.

34 The Spirit of the Lord enveloped Gideon. He blew a ram's horn trumpet,

and the Abiezrites assembled behind him.

35 He sent messengers throughout all of Manasseh and they assembled

behind him as well. He also sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali,

so these tribes came up to meet them.

36 Gideon said to God, "If You will use my hands to save Israel,

as You have said-

37 I am placing a fleece of wool on the threshing floor.

If there is dew on the fleece only and all of the ground remains dry,

then I will know that You will save Israel with my hands, as You have said."

38 So it happened. He got up early the next morning and squeezed the fleece.

Enough dew poured out of the fleece to fill a bowlful of water.

39 Then Gideon said to God, "Do not let Your anger burn against me

as I speak only one more time. Please let me perform a test with the fleece

one more time. Please, let the fleece be the only thing dry,

and let there be dew on all of the ground."

40 So God did this during that night. Only the fleece was dry,

and the dew was on all the ground.



Judges 6

[1] And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the

LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.

[2] And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the

Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the

mountains, and caves, and strong holds.

[3] And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and

the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against

them;

[4] And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth,

till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep,

nor ox, nor ass.

[5] For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as

grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without

number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.

[6] And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the

children of Israel cried unto the LORD.

[7] And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD

because of the Midianites,

[8] That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said

unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt,

and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;

[9] And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the

hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave

you their land;

[10] And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the

Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.

[11] And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in

Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abi-ezrite: and his son Gideon

threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

[12] And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The

LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.

[13] And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then

is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers

told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the

LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

[14] And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou

shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?

[15] And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel?

behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's

house.

[16] And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt

smite the Midianites as one man.

[17] And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew

me a sign that thou talkest with me.

[18] Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth

my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou

come again.

[19] And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an

ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot,

and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.

[20] And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened

cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

[21] Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in

his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up

fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then

the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.

[22] And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said,

Alas, O Lord GOD! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.

[23] And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt

not die.

[24] Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it

Jehovah-shalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.

[25] And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take

thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and

throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove

that is by it:

[26] And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in

the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice

with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.

[27] Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said

unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the

men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.

[28] And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the

altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and

the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.

[29] And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they

inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.

[30] Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he

may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath

cut down the grove that was by it.

[31] And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal?

will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst

it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one

hath cast down his altar.

[32] Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead

against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.

[33] Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east

were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.

[34] But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and

Abi-ezer was gathered after him.

[35] And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered

after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto

Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.

[36] And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as

thou hast said,

[37] Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on

the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know

that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.

[38] And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the

fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of

water.

[39] And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I

will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the

fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let

there be dew.

[40] And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and

there was dew on all the ground.

Keep Going by Faith by Patricia Rayborn



Hebrews 12:1-3



The Discipline of the Lord



1 Therefore, since we are encompassed with such a great cloud of witnesses,

let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily entangles us,

and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.

2 (Heb 1:3; Lk 24:26) Let us look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our

faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising

the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 (Gal 6:9; Heb 12:5) For consider Him who endured such hostility

from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and your hearts give up.



[1] Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of

witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily

beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

[2] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy

that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set

down at the right hand of the throne of God.

[3] For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against

himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.



To become a lawyer in California, Maxcy Filer had to pass the state's

grueling, three-day bar exam. So he took it not once, not twice, but

forty-eight times before passing the tough test. His goal? To advocate for the

underprivileged in Compton, his beloved city. Between his first and last

attempts at passing the exam - across 25 years - Filer and his wife raised

seven children, all who went to college. When Filer was sworn in, the judge

said, "Three words about Maxcy Filer: perseverance, perseverance,

perseverance."



His story prompts me to think of people in the Bible who persevered.

The writer of Hebrews recognized some: Noah, who "by his faith . . . became

heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith" (11:7). Or Abraham,

Isaac, Jacob (vv. 8-21), Moses (vv. 23-28), and others. Such examples inspire

us.



The writer then exhorts believers in Christ: "Since we are surrounded by such

a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the

sin that so easily entangles" (12:1). We then read, "Let us run with

perseverance the race marked out for us" (v. 1). How will we do this?

By "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith" (v. 2).

As we consider Christ's sacrifice for us, we "will not grow weary

and lose heart" (v. 3).



Challenges to our faith give us opportunity to endure in His name.

In His power, we persevere.



Reflect & Pray



What faith challenge is testing you? How can you persevere in Jesus?



As I persevere for You, please inspire me, dear Jesus, to keep going.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 2 The Wardrobe of Joy Isaiah 61:10



10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God;

for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.



10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God;

for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me

with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself

with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.



On her wedding day, the bride dresses carefully for the ceremony

that is about to take place. Never before has she spent so much

time in preparation for one relatively brief event. When she

looks in the mirror and rejoices in her happiness, she responds not

out of vanity, but for sheer joy as she anticipates the coming ceremony.

God wants his people, lie that bride to be joyful, to rejoice in the Lord,

the Bridegroom. And he gives, through his grace,

the garments of joy to his beloved ones.

He clothes us, Isaiah says, with salvation, and covers us with

the robe of righteousness. The wardrobe that God provides is not merely

a utility garment, a coverall that hides our sin from his eyes.

It is his own righteousness in Christ, given to us as a free gift, so that

we might be united with him. And God himself, Isaiah says,

is filled with joy, adorning himself like a bridegroom.

When we truly see God's immeasurable gift in accepting us as him own,

we also will "greatly rejoice" in the Lord. He, the eternal god,

Creator of the universe, desires to be united with us, as a husband

desires his wife! God does not simply accept us grudgingly,

reminding us of our unworthiness to be with him. Rather, he celebrates

with unrestrained joy his oneness in Spirit with those he calls his own.

And we, having been fully forgiven

and set free from sin, can rejoice unashamedly as well.

are due, respect to whom respect is due, fear to whom fear is due,

and honor to whom honour is due.

8 (Ro 13:10; Mt 7:12) Owe no one anything, except to love one another,

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



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an Islamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women who were wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to Islam.



Agree in prayer with us for:

- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.

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!



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, ...) .

and honor to whom honour is due.

8 (Ro 13:10; Mt 7:12) Owe no one anything, except to love one another,

for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.



7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due;

custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth

another hath fulfilled the law.



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



God's Eternal Faithfulness



Ps 117



1 Praise the Lord, all you nations! Exalt Him, all you peoples!

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) For His merciful kindness is great toward us,

and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.



1 O praise the LORD,

All ye nations: Praise him, all ye people.

2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us:

And the truth of the LORD endureth for ever.

Praise ye the LORD.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

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



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 2021 edition?)



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an Islamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women who were wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to Islam.



Agree in prayer with us for:

- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.

JUDGES 5



The Song of Deborah



1 (Ex 15:1)On that day, Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang:

2 (Jdg 5:9; 2Ch 17:16) "When the leaders in Israel lead,

when the people freely volunteer,

bless the Lord!

3 "Hear, O kings! Listen, O rulers!

I will sing to the Lord;

I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.

4 (Dt 33:2; Ps 68:7-8) "Lord, when You went out from Seir,

when You marched from the land of Edom,

the ground shook and the skies poured,

indeed, the dense clouds poured water.

5 (Ex 19:18; Ps 97:5) The mountains quaked before the Lord,

this very Sinai, before the Lord God of Israel.

6 (Jdg 3:31; Isa 33:8) "In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,

in the days of Jael, main roads were abandoned

and travelers used roundabout paths.

7 Village life ceased. It ceased

until I, Deborah, arose;

I arose like a mother in Israel.

8 (Dt 32:16-17; Jdg 2:12) They were choosing new gods,

and warfare was at the city gates,

but not a shield or spear was to be seen

among forty thousand in Israel.

9 (Jdg 5:2) My heart is with the rulers of Israel

who offered themselves willingly among the people.

Bless the Lord!

10 (Jdg 10:4; 12:14) "You who ride on white donkeys,

you who sit in judges' attire,

you who walk on the road,

11 (1Sa 12:7; Mic 6:5) consider the voice of those who distribute water

among the watering places.

There they tell of the righteous deeds of the Lord,

the righteous deeds of villagers in Israel.

"Then the people of the Lord

go down to the gates.

12 (Ps 57:8; 68:18) Awake, awake, Deborah!

Awake, awake, sing a song!

Stand up, Barak,

and capture your prisoners, son of Abinoam!

13 "The survivors

came down to the nobles;

the people of the Lord

came down for me against the mighty.

14 (Nu 32:39-40; Jdg 3:13) Some came from Ephraim, whose roots were in Amalek,

following you, Benjamin, with your people.

From Makir rulers came down,

and from Zebulun those who carry the staff of a scribe.

15 (Jdg 4:14) The princes of Issachar were with Deborah,

and Issachar was with Barak;

they were sent into the valley on foot.

Among the clans of Reuben

there was great resolve of heart.

16 (Nu 32:24) Why do you sit among the sheepfolds

to hear playing of pipes for the flocks?

In the clans of Reuben

there was much searching of heart.

17 (Jos 13:25) Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan.

As for Dan, why did he stay with the ships?

Asher stayed by the seacoast

and settled by its bays.

18 (Jdg 4:10; 4:6) Zebulun is a people who risked their lives

to the point of death,

Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.

19 (Jdg 1:27; 5:30) "Kings came to wage war.

The kings of Canaan waged war

in Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo;

they took no money as profit.

20 (Jos 10:11) From the heavens the stars fought,

from their courses they fought against Sisera.

21 (Jdg 4:7; Ps 44:5) The torrent of Kishon swept them away,

that ancient torrent, the torrent of Kishon.

My soul, march on in strength!

22 Then horses' hooves pounded,

the galloping, galloping of his steeds.

23 (Jdg 21:9-10) Curse Meroz, said the angel of the Lord,

curse its inhabitants,

for they did not come to the aid of the Lord,

to the aid of the Lord against the mighty warriors.

24 (Jdg 4:17) "Most blessed of women is Jael,

the wife of Heber the Kenite,

most blessed of tent-dwelling women.

25 He asked for water, she gave him milk.

In a magnificent bowl she brought cream.

26 Her hand on a tent peg,

her right hand on a workman’s hammer;

she struck Sisera, she crushed his skull,

she shattered and pierced his temple.

27 Between her feet he sank, he fell, he lay;

between her feet he sank, he fell;

where he sank, there he fell, overpowered.

28 "The mother of Sisera looked through the window,

and cried out through the lattice,

'Why is his chariot so late?

Why is the sound of his war chariots so delayed?'

29 Her wise attendants answered her,

indeed, she replied to herself,

30 (Ex 15:9) 'Are they not finding and dividing the spoils:

a girl or two for each man;

dyed garments as plunder for Sisera,

dyed and embroidered garments,

two pieces of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter?"

31 (Jdg 3:11; 2Sa 23:4) "May all Your enemies perish like this, OLord!

But may those who love Him rise like the sun

when it rises in full strength."

Then the land was at peace for fourty years.



Judges 5

[1] Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

[2] Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly

offered themselves.

[3] Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the

LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

[4] LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the

field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also

dropped water.

[5] The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before

the LORD God of Israel.

[6] In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the

highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

[7] The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until

that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

[8] They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or

spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

[9] My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves

willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.

[10] Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk

by the way.

[11] They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of

drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD,

even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel:

then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.

[12] Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and

lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

[13] Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the

people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.

[14] Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee,

Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of

Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.

[15] And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also

Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben

there were great thoughts of heart.

[16] Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the

flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

[17] Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher

continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

[18] Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the

death in the high places of the field.

[19] The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach

by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

[20] They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against

Sisera.

[21] The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river

Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

[22] Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the

pransings of their mighty ones.

[23] Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the

inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the

help of the LORD against the mighty.

[24] Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed

shall she be above women in the tent.

[25] He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a

lordly dish.

[26] She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's

hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when

she had pierced and stricken through his temples.

[27] At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he

fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

[28] The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the

lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his

chariots?

[29] Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

[30] Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a

damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours

of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the

necks of them that take the spoil?

[31] So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be

as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty

years.

Day 89, 30 March 2026



1) Judges 3, Judges 4, Judges 5

JUDGES 3



1 (Jdg 2:21-22) Now these are the nations that the Lord left to test

those in Israel who had not experienced war in Canaan

2 (so that later generations of the children of Israel who did not

know war before might know it, to teach them how to fight):

3 (Jos 13:3; 13:5) the five Philistine lords, all the Canaanites,

the Sidonians, and the Hivites living on Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal

Hermon to Lebo Hamath.

4 (Jdg 2:22; 3:1) They were to test Israel, in order to know if they would

obey the commandments of the Lord, which He commanded their fathers

by the hand of Moses.

5 (Ex 3:8) The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, Hittites,

Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

6 (Ex 34:16; Dt 7:3-4) They took their daughters for themselves as wives,

and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.





Judges 3

[1] Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them,

even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

[2] Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach

them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;

[3] Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the

Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount

Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.

[4] And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would

hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers

by the hand of Moses.

[5] And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and

Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

[6] And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their

daughters to their sons, and served their gods.



Othniel



7 (Ex 34:13; Jdg 2:11-13) The children of Israel did what was evil

in the sight of the Lord. They forgot the Lord their God and served

the Baals and the Asherahs.

8 (Jdg 2:14; Hab 3:7) The anger of the Lord burned against Israel,

and He sold them into the hands of Cushan-Rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia.

The children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim for eight years.

9 (Jdg 1:13; 3:15) Then the children of Israel cried out to the Lord,

and the Lord raised up a deliverer in order to save the children of Israel

-Othniel son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb.

10 (Jdg 6:34; 11:29) The Spirit of the Lord came on him,

and he judged Israel. He went out to battle,

and the Lord gave Cushan-Rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, into his hands,

so that Othniel overpowered Cushan-Rishathaim.

11 (Jos 11:23; Jdg 3:30) The land rested forty years, then Othniel

son of Kenaz died.



[7] And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat

the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

[8] Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them

into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of

Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.

[9] And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up

a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the

son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

[10] And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and

went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of

Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against

Chushan-rishathaim.

[11] And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.



Ehud



12 (1Sa 12:9; Jdg 2:19) Then the children of Israel once more did

what was evil in the sight of the Lord, so the Lord strengthened

King Eglon of Moab against Israel because they had done

what was evil in the sight of the Lord.

13 (Jdg 1:16; Dt 34:3) Eglon joined forces with the Ammonites and Amalekites;

then he went and attacked Israel and took possession of the City of Palms.

14 The children of Israel served King Eglon of Moab for eighteen years.

15 (Jdg 3:9; Ps 78:34) Then the children of Israel cried out to the Lord,

and the Lord raised up a deliverer-Ehud son of Gera the Benjamite,

a left-handed man. The children of Israel sent a tribute payment by him

to King Eglon of Moab.

16 Ehud made a cubit-long (About 18 inches, or 45 centimeters.)

two-edged sword for himself and strapped it onto his right thigh

under his cloak.

17 He brought the tribute payment to King Eglon of Moab.

Now Eglon was a very fat man.

18 When Ehud finished offering the tribute payment,

he sent away the people who carried it.

19 (Jos 4:20) But he himself turned back from the stone idols that

were at Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king."

And he said, "Keep silence!" And all who attended him departed from him.

20 (Am 3:15) Ehud approached him as he was sitting alone in his cool

upper chamber. Ehud said, "I have a message from God for you."

And Eglon rose from his seat.

21 Then Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword from his right thigh,

and plunged it into the belly of Eglon.

22 The hilt went in after the blade and the fat closed over the blade

and his entrails came out, for he did not pull the sword

out of the belly of Eglon.

23 Then Ehud went out to the entrance hall and closed the doors of

the upper chamber on him and locked them.

24 (1Sa 24:3) When he went out, the servants of Eglon came.

They looked and noticed the doors of the upper chamber were locked.

They thought, "Surely he is attending to his needs in the cool chamber."

25 They waited until they were embarrassed, but he still did not open

the doors of the upper chamber. So they took a key and opened it.

There, fallen dead on the floor, was their lord.

26 Yet Ehud escaped while they were waiting. He passed the sacred stones

and escaped to Seirah.

27 (Jdg 6:34; 1Sa 13:3) Upon his arrival, he blew a ram's horn trumpet

in the hill country of Ephraim. Then the children of Israel went down

with him from the hill country, and he led them.

28 (Jdg 12:5; Jos 2:7) He said to them, "Follow me, for the Lord has given

your enemies the Moabites into your hands." They followed him,

and they captured the Jordan fords leading to Moab.

They did not let anyone cross.

29 They struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all strong and valorous men,

and not a single man escaped.

30 (Jdg 3:11) So Moab was humbled under the hand of Israel that day,

and the land had peace for eighty years.



[12] And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and

the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they

had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

[13] And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and

smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

[14] So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

[15] But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised

them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded:

and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of

Moab.

[16] But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and

he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

[17] And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a

very fat man.

[18] And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the

people that bare the present.

[19] But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and

said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And

all that stood by him went out from him.

[20] And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which

he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto

thee. And he arose out of his seat.

[21] And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right

thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

[22] And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the

blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt

came out.

[23] Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the

parlour upon him, and locked them.

[24] When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that,

behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth

his feet in his summer chamber.

[25] And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the

doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and,

behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

[26] And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries,

and escaped unto Seirath.

[27] And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the

mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the

mount, and he before them.

[28] And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered

your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and

took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.

[29] And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty,

and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.

[30] So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had

rest fourscore years.



Shamgar



31 (Jdg 5:6; 2:16) After Ehud was Shamgar son of Anath.

He struck down six hundred Philistine men with an ox goad.

He also saved Israel.



[31] And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the

Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.

JUDGES 4



Deborah

1 When Ehud was dead, the children of Israel once more

did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.

2 (Jos 11:1; Jdg 4:13) The Lord sold them into the hands

of King Jabin of Canaan, who ruled in Hazor.

The commander of his army was Sisera. He lived in Harosheth Haggoyim.

3 (Jdg 1:19; 3:9) The children of Israel cried out to the Lord,

for Sisera had 900 iron chariots and had forcefully oppressed

the children of Israel for twenty years.

4 Now Deborah, the wife of Lappidoth, was a prophetess.

She judged Israel at that time.

5 (Ge 35:8) She would sit under the palm tree of Deborah

between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim.

The children of Israel would go up to her for her to render judgment.

6 (Heb 11:32; Jos 19:37) She sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh

in Naphtali and said to him, "The Lord God of Israel commands you,

'Go and deploy troops at Mount Tabor, and take 10000 from the tribes

of Naphtali and Zebulun with you.

7 (Jdg 5:21; 1Ki 18:40) I will draw Sisera, the commander of the army

of Jabin, with his chariots and large army to you at the River Kishon

and give him into your hands.' "

8 Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go,

but if you will not go with me, then I will not go."

9 (Jdg 2:14) She said, "I will indeed go with you. However, the way

you are going will gain you no glory, for the Lord will deliver Sisera

into the hand of a woman." Then Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.

10 (Jdg 5:18; 5:15) Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh.

10000 men went up on foot with him, and Deborah went up with him also.

11 (Nu 10:29; Jos 19:33) Now Heber the Kenite had moved away from the Kenites,

who were descendants of Hobab, Moses' father-in-law.

He pitched his tent at the oak in Zaanannim, near Kedesh.

12 Then they told Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.

13 (Jdg 4:2-3) So Sisera summoned all his 900 iron chariots

and all the people with him, from Harosheth Haggoyim to the River Kishon.

14 (Dt 9:3; 2Sa 5:24) Then Deborah said to Barak,"Get up, for this is the day

that the Lord has given Sisera into your hands. Has not the Lord gone

out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with 10000 men

behind him.

15 (Jos 10:10; Ps 83:9-10) The Lord routed Sisera and all of his chariots

and all of his army with the edge of the sword in front of Barak.

Sisera dismounted his chariot and fled on foot.

16 Barak chased after the chariots and the army as far as Harosheth Haggoyim.

The whole army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword. Not a single man survived.

17 Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite,

for there was peace between King Jabin of Hazor

and the family of Heber the Kenite.

18 Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him,

"Turn aside, my lord. Turn aside to me. Do not be afraid."

So he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.

19 (Jdg 5:25-26) He said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink,

for I am thirsty." So she opened a leather milk container, gave it to him to drink,

and covered him.

20 He said to her, "Stand in the entrance to the tent,

and if anyone comes and asks you, 'Is there a man here?' then you say, 'No.' "

21 Then Jael the wife of Heber took a tent peg and a hammer in her hand

and went quietly to him, for he was fast asleep and tired.

She drove the tent peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground,

so he died.

22 Now as Barak had been chasing Sisera, Jael came out to meet him and said,

"Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek."

When he came in, there was Sisera fallen dead with a tent peg in his temple.

23 (Ne 9:24; Ps 18:47) So God humbled King Jabin of Canaan

before the children of Israel that day.

24 The children of Israel grew more and more powerful

over King Jabin of Canaan until he was no more.



Judges 4

[1] And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when

Ehud was dead.

[2] And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that

reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in

Harosheth of the Gentiles.

[3] And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred

chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of

Israel.

[4] And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at

that time.

[5] And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in

mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

[6] And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali,

and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and

draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children

of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?

[7] And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of

Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him

into thine hand.

[8] And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if

thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.

[9] And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey

that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell

Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to

Kedesh.

[10] And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with

ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.

[11] Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in

law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent

unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.

[12] And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to

mount Tabor.

[13] And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred

chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of

the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.

[14] And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD

hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee?

So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.

[15] And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his

host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down

off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.

[16] But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto

Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of

the sword; and there was not a man left.

[17] Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of

Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and

the house of Heber the Kenite.

[18] And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord,

turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent,

she covered him with a mantle.

[19] And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink;

for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and

covered him.

[20] Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be,

when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here?

that thou shalt say, No.

[21] Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in

her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and

fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.

[22] And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and

said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And

when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his

temples.

[23] So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children

of Israel.

[24] And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against

Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

You wove me in my mother’s womb.

marvelous are Your works,

and You know me completely.

15 My frame was not hidden from You

when I was made in secret,

and intricately put together in the lowest parts of the earth.

16 Your eyes saw me unformed,

yet in Your book

all my days were written,

before any of them came into being.



13 For thou hast possessed my reins:

Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:

Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from thee,

When I was made in secret, and curiously wrought

Which in continuance were fashioned,

When as yet there was none of them.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 1 Call to the Lord - 2 Samuel 22:3-4



3 (Ge 15:1; Ps 9:9) the God of my strength, in whom I will trust;

my shield and the horn of my salvation,

my fortress and my sanctuary;

my Savior, You save me from violence.

4 (Ps 48:1; 96:4) I call upon the Lord, who is praiseworthy,

and I am saved from my enemies.



3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust:

He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge,

My saviour; thou savest me from violence.

4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised:

So shall I be saved from mine enemies.



In the old Days of Television Western, we could always tell who the enemy was.

The bad guys wore black hats; the evil villain had a scar across

his cheek or a patch over one eye. But real life is

not quite so simple . Enemies come in many forms, and often are not easy to

recognise. Sin is an enemy; even those we love can seek

to undermine our faith;

modern materialism and distorted values lead us away from biblical principles.

These enemies may not seek our death in a physical sense,

but their influence results in spiritual death or, at the very least,

immaturity.

Yet God promises to rescue us from our enemies. David describes the Lord as a

"rock", a "shield", a "stronghold", and a "refuge". God provides a stable

foundation for our faith; he products us from the attacks of the enemy;

he offers a place of rest in battle.

Our battles are usually not physical ones, but rather spiritual

and emotional wars.

We struggle with difficult relationships, the burdens of the past,

the subtle accusations of the devil.

But these enemies can be overcome. David says,

"I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise" .

When we turn to the Lord, trust his Word, acknowledge his

worthiness, we put our own problems and difficulties in perspective.

We see that God is able to rescue us, and has promised to do so.

And as we respond to his grace by focusing

on him, we abandon trust in ourselves and allow him to do what he promised.

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



3 John 2



2 Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be

in good health, even as your soul is well.



2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health,

even as thy soul prospereth.



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



God's Inexhaustible Strength



Is 40:27-31



27 Why do you say, O Jacob,

and assert, O Israel,

"My way is hidden from the Lord,

and my justice escapes the notice of my God"?

28 (Ps 147:5; Ge 21:33; Isa 57:15) Have you not known?

Have you not heard,

that the everlasting God, the Lord,

the Creator of the ends of the earth,

does not faint, nor is He weary?

His understanding is inscrutable.

29 (Isa 41:10) He gives power to the faint,

and to those who have no might He increases strength.

30 (Isa 9:17) Even the youths shall faint and be weary,

and the young men shall utterly fall,

31 (2Co 4:16; Ps 103:5; Ex 19:4) but those who wait upon the Lord

shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings as eagles,

they shall run and not be weary,

and they shall walk and not faint.



27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid

from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God,

the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,

neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might

he increaseth strength.

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall

utterly fall:

31 but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall

mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;

and they shall walk, and not faint.



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 2021 edition?)



Saskatchewan



Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan



Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400



est Muslim Population 17279



CNMM Networks: Saskatoon



Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past

5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have

focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts

of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres

of worship and an Islamic madrassah (school) located right next to a

Christian school.

Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up

in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young

women who were wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.

Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to Islam.



Agree in prayer with us for:

- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart

and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing

Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.

- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the

spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into

converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.

- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more

to be raised up into effective witness.

- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon

to spread and grow to other cities.





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!



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, ...) .

JUDGES 2



The Angel of the Lord at Bokim



1 (Ge 17:7-8; Ex 20:2) The angelAt times the Lord speaks directly through

an angel (cf. the story of the burning bush in Ex 3:2-4). of the Lord went up

from Gilgal to Bokim and said, "I brought you up from Egypt and brought

you into the land that I promised your fathers. I said, 'I will never break

My covenant with you,

2 (Dt 7:2-4) but you must not make a pact with the inhabitants of this land,

and you must tear down their altars.' Yet you have not obeyed Me.

What is this you have done?

3 (Nu 33:55; Jos 23:13; Dt 7:16) So now I say, 'I will not drive them out

before you. They will be thorns in your sides, and their gods will

be a snare to you.' "

4 When the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel,

the people raised their voices and wept aloud.

5 They named that place Bokim and sacrificed to the Lord there.



[1] And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made

you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware

unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.

[2] And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall

throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done

this?

[3] Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but

they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto

you.

[4] And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto

all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

[5] And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there

unto the LORD.



The Death of Joshua



6 (Jos 24:28-31) When Joshua dismissed the people,

each Israelite went to his inheritance to possess the land.

7 (Jos 24:31) So the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua,

and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen

all the great works that the Lord had done for Israel.

8 Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110 .

9 (Jos 19:50) They buried him in the territory of his inheritance

in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

10 (Ex 5:2; 1Sa 2:12) That entire generation passed away,

and after them grew up a generation who did not know the Lord

or the deeds that He had done for Israel.



[6] And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every

man unto his inheritance to possess the land.

[7] And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days

of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the

LORD, that he did for Israel.

[8] And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an

hundred and ten years old.

[9] And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres,

in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.

[10] And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and

there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet

the works which he had done for Israel.



Israel's Unfaithfulness



11 (Jdg 3:7; 4:1) The children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord

and served the Baals.

12 (Ex 20:5) They abandoned the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them

out of the land of Egypt. They followed after other gods,

the gods of the peoples around them. They worshipped them

and provoked the Lord to anger.

13 (Jdg 10:6; 3:7) They abandoned the Lord and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.

14 (Dt 32:30; Lev 26:37) The anger of the Lord burned against Israel,

and He gave them into the hands of those who plundered them;

and He sold them into the hands of their enemies around them,

so that they were no longer able to stand against their enemies.

15 (Dt 28:15-68) Whenever they marched out, the hand of the Lord

was against them to bring disaster, as the Lord had said

and as He had sworn to them. They were in great distress.

16 (Ac 13:20; Jdg 3:15) Then the Lord raised up judges who delivered

them from the hand of those who plundered them.

17 (Jdg 2:7; Dt 9:12) Yet they would not listen to their judges,

for they prostituted themselves to other gods and worshipped them.

They quickly turned aside from the path their fathers had walked,

who had obeyed the commandments of the Lord.

They did not do as their fathers had done.

18 (Dt 32:36; Jos 1:5) When the Lord raised up judges for them,

the Lord was with the judge and delivered them from the hand of their enemies

all the days of the judge; for their groaning before their oppressors

and tormentors grieved the Lord.

19 (Jdg 4:1; 8:33) When the judge died, the people turned back

and acted more wickedly than their fathers, pursuing other gods

to serve and worship them. They would not give up their practices

and obstinate ways.

20 (Jdg 2:14; Jos 23:16) The anger of the Lord burned against Israel,

and He said, "Because this nation has violated My covenant that

I commanded their fathers and has not heeded My voice,

21 (Jos 23:13; Jdg 2:3) I will no longer drive out from before them any

of the nations that Joshua left when he died,

22 (Dt 8:2; 8:16; 13:3) so that through them I may test Israel

and see whether or not they will keep the ways of the Lord,

to walk in them as their fathers did."

23 So the Lord left those nations, not hurrying to drive them out;

and He did not deliver them into the hand of Joshua.



[11] And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and

served Baalim:

[12] And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out

of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people

that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the

LORD to anger.

[13] And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.

[14] And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them

into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the

hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand

before their enemies.

[15] Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for

evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they

were greatly distressed.

[16] Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the

hand of those that spoiled them.

[17] And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a

whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned

quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the

commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.

[18] And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the

judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of

the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of

them that oppressed them and vexed them.

[19] And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and

corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to

serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own

doings, nor from their stubborn way.

[20] And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because

that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their

fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;

[21] I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the

nations which Joshua left when he died:

[22] That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of

the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.

[23] Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out

hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.



2) Our Daily Bread for 29 March 2026 titled

Tears and Hope by Amy Boucher Pye



Isaiah 55:6-13



6 (Ps 32:6; Isa 45:19 ) Seek the Lord while He may be found,

call you upon Him while He is near.

7 (Isa 44:22; Pr 28:13) Let the wicked forsake his way,

and the unrighteous man his thoughts;

and let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him,

and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

nor are your ways My ways,

says the Lord.

9 (Ps 103:11) For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

so are My ways higher than your ways,

and My thoughts than your thoughts.

10 (Isa 30:23) For as the rain comes down,

and the snow from heaven,

and do not return there

but water the earth

and make it bring forth and bud

that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,

11 (Isa 45:23; 46:10) so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

it shall not return to Me void,

but it shall accomplish that which I please,

and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

12 (Isa 44:23; Ps 105:43) For you shall go out with joy,

and be led out with peace;

the mountains and the hills

shall break forth into singing before you,

and all the trees of the field

shall clap their hands.

13 (Isa 41:19; 60:13) Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree,

and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;

and it shall be to the Lord for a memorial,

for an everlasting sign

that shall not be cut off.



[6] Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

[7] Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts:

and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to

our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

[8] For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,

saith the LORD.

[9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than

your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

[10] For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth

not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that

it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

[11] So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not

return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it

shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

[12] For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the

mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all

the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

[13] Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the

brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name,

for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.



Although it was Palm Sunday, a day to celebrate the triumphal entrance of

Jesus into Jerusalem, for Mary Edwar it became a time of deep pain. Leaving

their church after the service, she and her husband, Kareem, were holding

hands when a bomb went off. The device killed Kareem and injured Mary,

causing her to miscarry.



While Mary recuperated, she felt furious while grieving for her husband

and child. But somehow reading the Bible calmed "the volcano inside her."

In particular, when she struggled to comprehend why God allowed the atrocity,

Isaiah 55:9 helped: "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways

higher than your ways." As she understood that God extends grace even

when He's dishonoured, she felt soothed by His Spirit.



Mary considered Isaiah's message from God to His wayward people. While calling

them back to Himself, God sought to expand their understanding of His merciful

character. Even as the heavens are "higher than" the earth, so were God's ways

"higher than" theirs (v. 9). So too will God show love and grace, more than

they could imagine.



While grieving deeply, Mary was stunned to receive God's gift of peace. She

welcomed Jesus' consoling love, which He poured out in the events that we mark

during Holy Week. He's eager to give us His peace too; we need only

to look to Him.

37 When He was coming near the descent of the Mount of Olives,

the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice

and praise God with loud voices for all the mighty works that they had seen,

38 (Lk 13:35; Mt 21:9) saying:

'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!'(Ps 118:26.)

Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him,

"Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."

40 (Hab 2:11) He answered them, "I tell you, if these should be silent,

the stones would immediately cry out."



[35] And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the

colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

[36] And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

[37] And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of

Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God

with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

[38] Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace

in heaven, and glory in the highest.

[39] And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him,

Master, rebuke thy disciples.

[40] And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should

hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

JUDGES 1



Israel Fights Remaining Canaanites



1 (Nu 27:21; Jdg 20:18) After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel

inquired of the Lord, "Who should go up against the Canaanites first,

in order to wage war against them?"

2 The Lord said, "Judah shall go up.

Indeed, I have given the land into their hands."

3 (Jdg 1:17) Then the men of Judah said to Simeon,

their brothers, "Come up with us into our allotted territory.

We will wage war against the Canaanites. Likewise we will go

with you into your allotted territory." So Simeon went with them.

4 (1 Sa 11:8) Then Judah went up, and the Lord gave the Canaanites

and Perizzites into their hands. They struck down ten thousand men in Bezek.

5 They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek and fought against him.

They struck down the Canaanites and Perizzites.

6 Yet Adoni-Bezek fled, and they chased after him, seized him,

and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

7 (1Sa 15:33) Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings whose thumbs

and big toes were cut off once collected scraps of food

under my table. Just as I have done, so God has repaid me."

They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

8 (Jos 15:63; Jdg 1:21) Then Judah waged war against Jerusalem.

They captured it, struck it with the edge of the sword,

and sent the city up in flames.

9 Afterwards, Judah went down to wage war against the Canaanites

living in the hill country, the Negev, and the lowlands.

10 (Nu 13:22; Jos 14:15) Judah went against the Canaanites living

in Hebron (previously the name of Hebron was Kiriath Arba)

and they struck down Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

11 (Jos 15:15) From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir

(previously the name of Debir was Kiriath Sepher).

12 Caleb said, "He who attacks Kiriath Sepher and takes it,

I will give him my daughter Aksah as wife."

13 (Jdg 3:9) Othniel son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb,

captured it. So Caleb gave him Aksah his daughter in marriage.

14 When she came to Othniel, she urged him to ask her father

for a field. As she dismounted from her donkey, Caleb said to her,

"What can I do for you?"

15 She answered, "Please give me a special gift.

Since you have given me land in the Negev, now give me springs of water."

So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.

16 (Nu 10:29-32; 21:1; Dt 34:3) The descendants of Moses' father-in-law,

the Kenite, went up with the descendants of Judah from the City of Palms

to the Negev near Arad. Then they went and lived with the people.

17 (Nu 21:3) But Judah went with his brother Simeon

and struck down the Canaanites living in Zephath and utterly destroyed it.

So now they call the city Hormah.

18 (Jos 11:22; Jdg 3:3) Then Judah captured Gaza, Ashkelon, Ekron,

and the territory belonging to each of these cities.

19 (Jdg 1:2) The Lord was with Judah, and they took the hill country

but could not drive out the inhabitants of the coastal plain,

for they had iron chariots.

20 (Jdg 1:10; Jos 15:13-14) They gave Hebron to Caleb,

as Moses had said, and he drove out the three sons of Anak.

21 (Jos 15:63) However, the tribe of Benjamin did not drive out

the Jebusites living in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites live

with the tribe of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

22 (Jdg 1:19) The descendants of Joseph went up against Bethel,

and the Lord was with them.

23 (Ge 28:19; 35:6) The descendants of Joseph sent spies into Bethel

(the former name of the city was Luz).

24 The spies saw a man coming out of the city and said to him,

"Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will deal kindly with you."

25 So he showed them an entrance to the city. They struck the city with the

edge of the sword, but they let the man and his extended family go.

26 The man went to the land of the Hittites. He built a city

and named it Luz, and that is its name to this day.

27 (Jos 17:11-13) Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants

of Beth Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, or their daughter villages,

for the Canaanites were determined to live in that land.

28 When the children of Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites

to hard labor as slaves, but they did not actually drive them out.

29 (Jos 16:10; 1Ki 9:16) Ephraim did not drive out the inhabitants

of Gezer, so the Canaanites lived among them in Gezer.

30 (Jos 19:15) Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron

and Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived among them and became

slave laborers.

31 (Jos 19:24-30) Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Akko,

Sidon, Ahlab, Akzib, Helbah, Aphek, or Rehob.

32 Asher lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land,

for they did not drive them out.

33 (Jos 19:32-38) Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh

or Beth Anath, so they live among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land.

The Canaanites of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became slave laborers for them.

34 (Jos 19:47) The Amorites pushed the tribe of Dan into the hill country,

for they would not let them come down to the coastal plain.

35 (Jos 19:42) The Amorites were determined to live in Mount Heres, Aijalon,

and Shaalbim, but the hand of the descendants of Joseph was heavy on them,

and they became slave laborers.

36 (Nu 34:4) The border of the Amorites was from the Ascent of Akrabbim

to Sela and beyond.



Judges 1

[1] Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of

Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites

first, to fight against them?

[2] And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land

into his hand.

[3] And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot,

that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee

into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.

[4] And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the

Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

[5] And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and

they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

[6] But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and

cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

[7] And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and

their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have

done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there

he died.

[8] Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken

it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

[9] And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the

Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.

[10] And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the

name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman,

and Talmai.

[11] And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name

of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher:

[12] And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him

will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

[13] And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he

gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

[14] And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of

her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto

her, What wilt thou?

[15] And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a

south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper

springs and the nether springs.

[16] And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went up out of

the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of

Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the

people.

[17] And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites

that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city

was called Hormah.

[18] Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast

thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.

[19] And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the

mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because

they had chariots of iron.

[20] And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence

the three sons of Anak.

[21] And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that

inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin

in Jerusalem unto this day.

[22] And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD

was with them.

[23] And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the

city before was Luz.)

[24] And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto

him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will shew

thee mercy.

[25] And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city

with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.

[26] And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and

called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto this day.

[27] Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and her

towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns,

nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo

and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.

[28] And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the

Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.

[29] Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but

the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

[30] Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the

inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became

tributaries.

[31] Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the

inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of

Aphik, nor of Rehob:

[32] But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the

land: for they did not drive them out.

[33] Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the

inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the

inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of

Beth-anath became tributaries unto them.

[34] And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they

would not suffer them to come down to the valley:

[35] But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in

Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became

tributaries.

[36] And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from

the rock, and upward.
