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



Manitoba



Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba



Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000



est Muslim Population 21 349



CNMM Networks: Winnipeg



The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.



Let us intercede in unity for:



- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support



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, ...) .

2) Our Daily Bread for 25 April 2026 titled

Serving Like Christ by Katara Patton



Philippians 2:3-8



Christian Humility and Christ's Humility



3 (Ro 12:10; Gal 5:26) Let nothing be done out of strife or conceit, but in

humility let each esteem the other better than himself.

4 (Ro 15:1) Let each of you look not only to your own interests, but also

to the interests of others.

5 (Mt 11:29; Ro 15:3) Let this mind be in you all, which was also in Christ

Jesus,

6 (Jn 5:18; 10:33) who, being in the form of God,

did not consider equality with God something to be grasped.

7 (Mt 20:28; Jn 1:14) But He emptied Himself,

taking upon Himself the form of a servant,

and was made in the likeness of men.

8 (Heb 12:2; Mt 26:39; Jn 10:18) And being found in the form of a man,

He humbled Himself

and became obedient to death,

even death on a cross.



[3] Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of

mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

[4] Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things

of others.

[5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

[6] Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with

God:

[7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a

servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

[8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became

obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.



As I visited a patient in the hospital, I was struck by the actions of a young

doctor standing with a team of other inexperienced physicians. The group

listened as a more seasoned doctor explained about the patient's health.

Suddenly, the patient anxiously announced that she needed to use the bathroom

and couldn't get up. In fact, she couldn't wait for a nurse's aide to be

summoned to the room.



Amid the frantic scene, the young doctor got a bed pan off the shelf

and assisted the patient. When the nurse’s aide arrived, she was shocked to

find someone had already assisted the patient. The lead physician proudly

acknowledged the assistance of the young doctor.



Jesus didn't cling to His divinity and refuse to assist humanity. Though He

was "in very nature God, [He] did not consider equality with God something to

be used to his own advantage" (Philippians 2:6). As a human, Christ was able

to become our sin offering and sacrifice Himself for us. He saw our need for

help and salvation, and He humbly laid down His life (v. . Paul wrote,

"He made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant" (v. 7).



We're called to imitate Jesus' attitude and sacrificial ways in our

relationships with others. As He helps us, let's humbly serve them no matter

how lowly the job may seem.



Reflect & Pray



How can you reflect the attitude and ways of Jesus?

What will it look like for you to humbly serve someone today?



Thank You, Jesus, for humbly giving Yourself for my sin.

Please show me how to sacrificially serve others.



The Forgiveness of God.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 7 - Upheld by His Hand



Is 41:10



10 (Jos 1:9; Isa 41:13-14) Do not fear, for I am with you;

do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you,

yes, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.



10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God:

I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;

yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.



Beth had the same recurring nightmare: she was running along a cliff,

then she slipped, and fell headlong, into a bottomless ravine.

Falling, without control, without end, falling, falling, falling...

Beth's dream may be one many of us identify with. The sense

of losing control can be nightmarish, and we may fear falling

without end, without remedy. Financial failure may be the chasm

that we face, or professional disgrace. Personal relationships

may go out of control, and we look into a never-ending

ravine of pain and misunderstanding

But God says, "Don't be afraid; I am holding you up."

Like the father who helps his child learn to swim,

God holds us above the water. We may not feel his hands;

indeed, we may suspect that he lets us go just so we can

do it on our own. But he promises that he doesn't let go.

"I am with you." he declares. "I give you strength

and hold you up."

God's promise never to let go takes on new meaning

in a world where relationships are temporary and life is

uncertain. We do not need to fear, for he is with us.

We can relax and stop striving, for he is our God.

His strength becomes ours; amid all our sin and rebellion,

he undergirds us with his righteousness. We cannot fall,

for he holds us firm.



Application



a) Under what circumstances have I felt myself "falling"?



b) How does God's promise in Is 41:10 help me to have faith

in the midst of my fears?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Is 55:11



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.



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.



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



When you are ill or injured



James 5:13-16



13 (Ps 50:15; Eph 5:19) Is anyone among you suffering?

Let him pray. Is anyone merry? Let him sing psalms.

14 (Mk 6:13; 16:18; Ac 14:23) Is anyone sick among you?

Let him call for the elders of the church,

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil

in the name of the Lord.

15 (Isa 33:24; Jas 1:6) And the prayer of faith will save

the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.

And if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.

16 (Ge 20:17; 18:23-32) Confess your faults to one another

and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much.



13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.

Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church;

and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise

him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another,

that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man

availeth much.



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.

congregation with singing, until Solomon had built the house of the LORD in

Jerusalem: and then they waited on their office according to their order.

[33] And these are they that waited with their children. Of the sons of the

Kohathites: Heman a singer, the son of Joel, the son of Shemuel,

[34] The son of Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliel, the son of

Toah,

[35] The son of Zuph, the son of Elkanah, the son of Mahath, the son of

Amasai,

[36] The son of Elkanah, the son of Joel, the son of Azariah, the son of

Zephaniah,

[37] The son of Tahath, the son of Assir, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of

Korah,

[38] The son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, the son of

Israel.

[39] And his brother Asaph, who stood on his right hand, even Asaph the son

of Berachiah, the son of Shimea,

[40] The son of Michael, the son of Baaseiah, the son of Malchiah,

[41] The son of Ethni, the son of Zerah, the son of Adaiah,

[42] The son of Ethan, the son of Zimmah, the son of Shimei,

[43] The son of Jahath, the son of Gershom, the son of Levi.

[44] And their brethren the sons of Merari stood on the left hand: Ethan the

son of Kishi, the son of Abdi, the son of Malluch,

[45] The son of Hashabiah, the son of Amaziah, the son of Hilkiah,

[46] The son of Amzi, the son of Bani, the son of Shamer,

[47] The son of Mahli, the son of Mushi, the son of Merari, the son of Levi.

[48] Their brethren also the Levites were appointed unto all manner of

service of the tabernacle of the house of God.

[49] But Aaron and his sons offered upon the altar of the burnt offering,

and on the altar of incense, and were appointed for all the work of the

place most holy, and to make an atonement for Israel, according to all that

Moses the servant of God had commanded.

[50] And these are the sons of Aaron; Eleazar his son, Phinehas his son,

Abishua his son,

[51] Bukki his son, Uzzi his son, Zerahiah his son,

[52] Meraioth his son, Amariah his son, Ahitub his son,

[53] Zadok his son, Ahimaaz his son.

[54] Now these are their dwelling places throughout their castles in their

coasts, of the sons of Aaron, of the families of the Kohathites: for theirs

was the lot.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2026 edition?)



Manitoba



Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba



Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000



est Muslim Population 21 349



CNMM Networks: Winnipeg



The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.



Let us intercede in unity for:



- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support



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, ...) .

Pray for the direction you take to the Ever lasting loving God

Psalm 78

[1] Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my

mouth.

[2] I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

[3] Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

[4] We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to

come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that

he hath done.

[5] For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel,

which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their

children:

[6] That the generation to come might know them, even the children which

should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:

[7] That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God,

but keep his commandments:

[8] And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation;

a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not

stedfast with God.

[9] The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in

the day of battle.

[10] They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

[11] And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.

[12] Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of

Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

[13] He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the

waters to stand as an heap.

[14] In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a

light of fire.

[15] He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the

great depths.

[16] He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down

like rivers.

[17] And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the

wilderness.

[18] And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

[19] Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the

wilderness?

[20] Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams

overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

[21] Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled

against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

[22] Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

[23] Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of

heaven,

[24] And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the

corn of heaven.

[25] Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.

[26] He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he

brought in the south wind.

[27] He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the

sand of the sea:

[28] And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their

habitations.

[29] So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own

desire;

[30] They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet

in their mouths,

[31] The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and

smote down the chosen men of Israel.

[32] For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous

works.

[33] Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in

trouble.

[34] When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired

early after God.

[35] And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their

redeemer.

[36] Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto

him with their tongues.

[37] For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in

his covenant.

[38] But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed

them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all

his wrath.

[39] For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away,

and cometh not again.

[40] How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the

desert!

[41] Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of

Israel.

[42] They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from

the enemy.

[43] How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of

Zoan:

[44] And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they

could not drink.

[45] He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and

frogs, which destroyed them.

[46] He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto

the locust.

[47] He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with

frost.

[48] He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot

thunderbolts.

[49] He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation,

and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.

[50] He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but

gave their life over to the pestilence;

[51] And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in

the tabernacles of Ham:

[52] But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the

wilderness like a flock.

[53] And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea

overwhelmed their enemies.

[54] And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this

mountain, which his right hand had purchased.

[55] He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an

inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

[56] Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his

testimonies:

[57] But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were

turned aside like a deceitful bow.

[58] For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to

jealousy with their graven images.

[59] When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

[60] So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed

among men;

[61] And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the

enemy's hand.

[62] He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his

inheritance.

[63] The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to

marriage.

[64] Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.

[65] Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that

shouteth by reason of wine.

[66] And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a

perpetual reproach.

[67] Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe

of Ephraim:

[68] But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.

[69] And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he

hath established for ever.

[70] He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

[71] From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob

his people, and Israel his inheritance.

[72] So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them

by the skilfulness of his hands.

Confessing to Christ by Tim Gustafson



Joshua 3:7 ,9-11, 13-17



7 (Jos 4:14; 1:5) The Lord said to Joshua, "Today I will begin to honor you

in the sight of all Israel, so that they may know that just as I was

with Moses, so I will be with you.



9 So Joshua said to the children of Israel,

"Draw near and hear the words of the Lord your God."

10 (Ex 33:2; Dt 5:26) And Joshua said, "By this you will know that the living

God is among you, and that He will thoroughly drive out the Canaanites,

the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites,

and the Jebusites from before you.

11 (Zec 6:5; Jos 3:13) See, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of

all the earth is passing before you into the Jordan.



13 (Ex 15:8; Ps 78:13) When the soles of the feet of the priests

who bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth,

touch the water of the Jordan, the water of the Jordan

that flows from upstream will be cut off and pile up."

14 (Ac 7:44-45) When the people set out from their tents

to cross over the Jordan, the priests were carrying

the ark of the covenant before the people.

15 (1Ch 12:15; Jos 4:18) When the carriers of the ark came to the Jordan,

the feet of the priests carrying the ark dipped into the edge of the water.

(Now the Jordan overflows its banks all the days of the harvest.)

16 (Ge 14:3; Jos 3:13) Then the water that flows down from upstream

stood still and rose up in a heap very far away at Adam,

the city beside Zarethan. The water that flows down toward

the Sea of Arabah (the Dead Sea) stopped and was cut off.

The people crossed over opposite Jericho.

17 (Ex 14:29; 14:22) The priests carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord

stood firmly on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, and all Israel

crossed over on dry ground until the entire people completed crossing

over the Jordan.





[7] And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in

the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I

will be with thee.



[9] And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the

words of the LORD your God.

[10] And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you,

and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and

the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and

the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

[11] Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth

over before you into Jordan.



[13] And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the

priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest

in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the

waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.

[14] And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass

over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the

people;

[15] And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of

the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for

Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)

[16] That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an

heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that

came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were

cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

[17] And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood

firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed

over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.



When Chris McCandless wandered off the grid and into the Alaskan wilderness,

he expected to return. But he crossed the Teklanika in April, well before

summer ice-melt would swell that river into an impassable torrent. Months

later, out of food, McCandless couldn't get back. His tragic death is

memorialised in book and film.



The people of ancient Israel faced a crucial river crossing in order to enter

the promised land. However, "the Jordan [was] at flood stage" (Joshua 3:15),

a challenge that would grow their faith. God told Joshua, "Today I will begin

to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so they may know that I am with you as

I was with Moses" (v. 7).



Joshua told the people, "The ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth

will go into the Jordan ahead of you" (v. 11). Taking the ark, the priests

stepped into the Jordan, and "the water from upstream stopped flowing"

(vv. 15-16). The entire nation stepped across on a dry riverbed (v. 17).



From time to time we'll face "river crossings" - impossible situations that

can grow our faith if we'll turn to the one who makes the way across. The

greatest of these crossings is from this life into the next. No matter what it

is, the God who was with Moses, Joshua, and the Israelites also makes

a way for us.



Reflect & Pray



What "river crossing" do you face today?

How have you seen God show His power on your behalf in the past?



Thank You, dear Jesus, that You make the way

across any river I face, including the final one.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 6 - Through The Fire



Is 43:2



2 (Ps 66:12; Da 3:25-27) When you pass through waters,

I will be with you. And through the rivers,they shall not overflow you.

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,

nor shall the flame kindle on you.



2 When thou passest through the waters,

I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:

when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;

neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.



In the Book of Daniel, 3 young men provide one of the world's best-known

Bible stories. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, three of the finest young

men of Israel, were taken into capitivity to Babylon. There King

Nebuchadnezzar, filled with his own importance, commanded that

everyone bow down and worship his image.

When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to worship anyone

except the One True god, they were cast into Nebuchadnezzar's

furnace of fire.

Is 43:2 brings their experience into focus for us. There the Lord says,

"When you pass through the fire ... when you walk through the water ..."

Not if, but when. If we are committed to serving and honouring the Lord,

at some point we will be faced with "passing through the fire" for hm.

We may not face a physical furnace, but we may face the fires of

persecution, anger, hostility or suffering. And God says:

"I will be with you."

When the three young Israelites stepped into the king's furnace, all

the people looked and saw, not three, but four men in the fire, their

bonds burned away, walking freely among the flames. They did not

escape the fate decreed for them. But the Lord was with them in

the fire, as surely as he has promised to be with us in the flood

and the fire, as surely as he has promised to be with us in the

flood and fire tht life brings to us. The promise of god remains:

"I will be with you; the waters will not overflow, nor will the

flames burn you."

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

who heals all your diseases,

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

who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

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

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

PSALMS 73



BOOK THREE

Psalms 73-89



A Psalm of Asaph.



1 Truly God is good to Israel,

to the pure in heart.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) But as for me, my feet almost stumbled;

my steps had almost slipped.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For I was envious at the boastful;

I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For there are no pains in their death;

their bodies are fat.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) They are not in trouble as other people;

nor are they plagued like others.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Therefore pride is their necklace;

violence covers them as a garment.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Their eyes bulge with fatness;

they have more than a heart could wish.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) They mock and speak with evil oppression;

they speak loftily.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) They set their mouth against the heavens,

and their tongue struts through the earth.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Therefore people turn to them,

and abundant waters are drunk by them.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) They say, "How does God know?

And is there knowledge with the Most High?"

12 Observe, these are the wicked, always at ease;

they increase in riches.

13 Surely I have kept my heart pure for nothing,

and washed my hands in innocence.

14 For all the day long I am plagued,

and chastened every morning.

15 If I said, "I will speak thus,"

I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.

16 When I thought to understand this,

it was troublesome in my eyes,

17 until I went into the sanctuary of God;

then I understood their end.

18 Surely You have set them in slippery places;

You have brought them down to ruin.

19 How they come to desolation, as in a moment!

They have come to an end, utterly consumed with terrors.

20 As a dream when one awakes,

so, O Lord, when You awake,

You will despise their form.

21 Thus my heart was embittered,

and I was pierced in my feelings.

22 I was a brute and did not understand;

I was as a beast before You.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with You;

You have held me by my right hand.

24 You will guide me with Your counsel,

and afterward receive me to glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but You?

And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You.

26 My flesh and my heart fails,

but God is the strength of my heart

and my portion forever.

27 For those who are far from You will perish;

You destroy everyone who is unfaithful to You.

28 But it is good for me to draw near to God;

I have taken my refuge in the Lord God,

that I may declare all Your works.



Psalm 73

[1] Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

[2] But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

[3] For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the

wicked.

[4] For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

[5] They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like

other men.

[6] Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them

as a garment.

[7] Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

[8] They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak

loftily.

[9] They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh

through the earth.

[10] Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung

out to them.

[11] And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most

High?

[12] Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase

in riches.

[13] Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in

innocency.

[14] For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

[15] If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the

generation of thy children.

[16] When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

[17] Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

[18] Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down

into destruction.

[19] How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly

consumed with terrors.

[20] As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt

despise their image.

[21] Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

[22] So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

[23] Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my

right hand.

[24] Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to

glory.

[25] Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I

desire beside thee.

[26] My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and

my portion for ever.

[27] For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed

all them that go a whoring from thee.

[28] But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the

Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.



PSALMS 77



For the Music Director. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph.

1 I cried out to God with my voice,

even to God with my voice; and He listened to me.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;

in the night my hand is stretched out and does not weary,

my soul refuses to be comforted.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) I remember God, and I groan;

I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) You hold my eyelids open;

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I have considered the days of old,

the years long ago.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) May I remember my song in the night;

may I meditate in my heart;

my spirit made a diligent search:

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) "Will the Lord cast off forever,

and will He be favorable no more?

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Has His mercy ceased forever,

and have His promises failed for all time?

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Has God forgotten to be gracious,

and has He in anger shut up His tender mercies?" Selah

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Then I said, "This is my grief;

yet I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High."

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) I will remember the works of the Lord;

surely I will remember Your wonders of old.

12 I will meditate also on all Your work

and ponder on Your mighty deeds.

13 Your way, O God, is holiness;

what god is as great as our God?

14 You are the God who can do wonders;

You have declared Your strength among the nations.

15 You have with Your arm redeemed Your people,

the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah

16 The waters saw You, O God.

The waters saw You; they were afraid;

the depths also trembled.

17 The clouds poured out water;

the skies thundered.

Your arrows flashed about.

18 The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind,

and Your lightning lit up the world;

the earth trembled and shook.

19 Your way is through the sea,

and Your path in the great waters,

and your footsteps are not seen.

20 You led Your people like a flock

by the hand of Moses and Aaron.



Psalm 77

[1] I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave

ear unto me.

[2] In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night,

and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

[3] I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was

overwhelmed. Selah.

[4] Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

[5] I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

[6] I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own

heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

[7] Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

[8] Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

[9] Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender

mercies? Selah.

[10] And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the

right hand of the most High.

[11] I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy

wonders of old.

[12] I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

[13] Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?

[14] Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength

among the people.

[15] Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and

Joseph. Selah.

[16] The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the

depths also were troubled.

[17] The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows

also went abroad.

[18] The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened

the world: the earth trembled and shook.

[19] Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy

footsteps are not known.

[20] Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

PSALMS 78



A Contemplative Maskil of Asaph.

1 Give ear, O my people, to my teaching;

incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) I will open my mouth in a parable;

I will utter insightful sayings of old,

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) which we have heard and known,

what our fathers have told us.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 )We will not hide them from their children,

but will tell the coming generation

the praises of the Lord,

and His strength, and the wonderful works that He has done.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For He established a rule in Jacob,

and appointed a law in Israel,

which He commanded our fathers

that they should make them known to their children,

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) that the generation to come might know them,

even the children who are not yet born,

who will arise and declare them to their children:

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) that they might set their hope in God

and not forget the works of God,

but keep His commandments,

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) and they might not be as their fathers,

a stubborn and rebellious generation,

a generation that did not set their heart steadfast,

and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) The people of Ephraim, being armed with bows,

turned back in the day of battle.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) They did not keep the covenant of God

and refused to walk in His law;

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) and they forgot His works

and the wonders that He had shown them.

12 In the sight of their ancestors He did marvelous wonders

in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

13 He divided the sea and caused them to pass through,

and He made the waters to stand as a heap.

14 In the daytime He led them with a cloud,

and all the night with a light of fire.

15 He split rocks in the wilderness

and gave them abundance to drink as out of the great depths.

16 He brought streams out of the rock

and caused waters to run down like rivers.

17 They sinned yet more against Him

by provoking the Most High in the wilderness.

18 They tested God in their heart

by demanding the food that they craved.

19 They spoke against God by saying,

"Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

20 Behold, He struck the rock, so that the waters gushed out

and the streams overflowed.

Can He give bread

or provide meat for His people?"

21 Therefore the Lord heard this and was full of wrath;

a fire was kindled against Jacob,

and anger also came up against Israel,

22 because they did not believe in God

nor trust in His deliverance.

23 Yet He had commanded the skies above

and opened the doors of heaven,

24 and He rained down manna upon them to eat

and gave them the grain of heaven.

25 Man ate the food of mighty angels;

He sent them bread in abundance.

26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heavens,

and by His power He brought out a south wind.

27 He rained meat on them as dust,

and winged birds as the sand of the sea;

28 and He let them fall in the midst of their camp

all around their habitations.

29 So they ate and were satisfied,

for He gave them their own desire;

30 while they were not yet filled up,

and while the meat was still in their mouths,

31 the wrath of God came upon them,

and He killed the strongest of them

and struck down the young men of Israel.

32 For all this they sinned still,

and did not believe despite His wondrous works.

33 Therefore He made their days vanish like a breath,

and their years in trouble.

34 When He killed them, then they sought Him;

they turned back and longed for God.

35 They remembered that God was their rock,

and the Most High God their redeemer.

36 Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouth,

and they lied to Him with their tongues;

37 for their heart was not devoted to Him,

neither were they committed to His covenant.

38 But He being full of compassion

forgave their iniquity

and did not destroy them.

He constantly restrained His anger,

and did not stir up all His wrath;

39 for He remembered that they were but flesh,

like a wind that passes away and does not return.

40 How often they provoked Him in the wilderness

and grieved Him in the desert!

41 Yes, they tested God over and over,

and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

42 They did not remember His power,

nor the day when He delivered them from the enemy,

43 how He had performed His signs in Egypt

and His wonders in the fields of Zoan:

44 and He turned their rivers into blood,

so that they could not drink from their streams.

45 He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them,

and frogs, which destroyed them.

46 He gave also their crops to the grasshopper

and the fruit of their labor to the locust.

47 He destroyed their vines with hail

and their sycamore trees with frost.

48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail

and their flocks to thunderbolts.

49 He cast upon them the fierceness of His anger,

wrath, indignation, and trouble,

by sending angels bringing disaster.

50 He made a path for His anger;

He did not spare them from death,

but gave their lives over to the plague,

51 And struck down all the firstborn in Egypt,

the first fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham.

52 Then He led out His own people like sheep

and guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

53 He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid,

but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

54 He brought them to the border of His holy land,

to the mountain that His right hand had acquired.

55 He cast out the nations also before them,

and divided for them their tribal allotments,

and made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

56 Yet they tested and provoked the Most High God,

and did not keep His commands,

57 but turned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers;

they turned aside like a deceitful bow.

58 For they provoked Him to anger with their high places

and moved Him to jealousy with their graven images.

59 When God heard this, He was full of wrath

and greatly rejected Israel

60 so that He left the tabernacle at Shiloh,

the tent where He lived among people,

61 and delivered His strength to captivity

and His glory into the enemy's hand.

62 He gave His people over also to the sword;

He was enraged with His inheritance.

63 The fire consumed their young men,

and their maidens were not given to marriage in song.

64 Their priests fell by the sword,

and their widows made no lamentation.

65 Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep,

and like a mighty man who shouts because of wine.

66 He routed His enemies back,

and He made them a perpetual reproach.

67 Moreover, He rejected the tent of Joseph,

and He did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,

68 but chose the tribe of Judah,

Mount Zion which He loves.

69 He built His sanctuary like the high heavens,

like the earth that He has established perpetually.

70 He chose David His servant

and took him from the sheepfolds;

71 from following the nursing ewes He brought him

to shepherd Jacob His people,

and Israel His inheritance.

72 So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart

and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

BOOK THREE

Psalms 73-89



A Psalm of Asaph.



1 Truly God is good to Israel,

to the pure in heart.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) But as for me, my feet almost stumbled;

my steps had almost slipped.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For I was envious at the boastful;

I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) For there are no pains in their death;

their bodies are fat.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) They are not in trouble as other people;

nor are they plagued like others.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Therefore pride is their necklace;

violence covers them as a garment.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Their eyes bulge with fatness;

they have more than a heart could wish.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) They mock and speak with evil oppression;

they speak loftily.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) They set their mouth against the heavens,

and their tongue struts through the earth.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) Therefore people turn to them,

and abundant waters are drunk by them.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) They say, "How does God know?

And is there knowledge with the Most High?"

12 Observe, these are the wicked, always at ease;

they increase in riches.

13 Surely I have kept my heart pure for nothing,

and washed my hands in innocence.

14 For all the day long I am plagued,

and chastened every morning.

15 If I said, "I will speak thus,"

I would have betrayed the generation of Your children.

16 When I thought to understand this,

it was troublesome in my eyes,

17 until I went into the sanctuary of God;

then I understood their end.

18 Surely You have set them in slippery places;

You have brought them down to ruin.

19 How they come to desolation, as in a moment!

They have come to an end, utterly consumed with terrors.

20 As a dream when one awakes,

so, O Lord, when You awake,

You will despise their form.

21 Thus my heart was embittered,

and I was pierced in my feelings.

22 I was a brute and did not understand;

I was as a beast before You.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with You;

You have held me by my right hand.

24 You will guide me with Your counsel,

and afterward receive me to glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but You?

And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You.

26 My flesh and my heart fails,

but God is the strength of my heart

and my portion forever.

27 For those who are far from You will perish;

You destroy everyone who is unfaithful to You.

28 But it is good for me to draw near to God;

I have taken my refuge in the Lord God,

that I may declare all Your works.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2026 edition?)



Manitoba



Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba



Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000



est Muslim Population 21 349



CNMM Networks: Winnipeg



The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.



Let us intercede in unity for:



- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support



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."

Using Psalm 91 as a guide,

PSALMS 91



1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,

my God in whom I trust."

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter

and from the deadly pestilence.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) He shall cover you with His feathers,

and under His wings you shall find protection;

His faithfulness shall be your shield and wall.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

nor of the arrow that flies by day;

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) nor of the pestilence that pursues in darkness,

nor of the destruction that strikes at noonday.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) A thousand may fall at your side

and ten thousand at your right hand,

but it shall not come near you.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Only with your eyes shall you behold

and see the reward of the wicked.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,

even the Most High, your dwelling,

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) there shall be no evil befall you,

neither shall any plague come near your tent;

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) for He shall give His angels charge over you

to guard you in all your ways.

12 They shall bear you up in their hands,

lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder;

the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;

I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;

I will be with him in trouble,

and I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him

and show him My salvation.



Psalm 91



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

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress:

My God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,

And from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:

His truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;

Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;

Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;

But it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold

And see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,

Even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee,

Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee,

To keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands,

Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:

The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:

I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:

I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him,

Sons of Simeon



Jos 19:2-10



24 (Ge 46:10) The sons of Simeon were

Nemuel, Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, Shaul,

25 Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, and Mishma his son.

26 The sons of Mishma were

Hammuel his son, Zakkur his son, and Shimei his son.

27 (Nu 2:4; 2:13) Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters,

but his brothers did not have many sons, nor did all their family

multiply as much as the sons of Judah.

28 (Jos 19:2-3) Now they dwelt in Beersheba, Moladah, and Hazar Shual

29 (Jos 19:3,4) as well as in Bilhah, Ezem, Tolad, 30Bethuel, Hormah, Ziklag,

31 (Jos 19:5-6) Beth Markaboth, Hazar Susim, Beth Biri, and Shaaraim.

These were their cities until the reign of David.

32 Their villages were Etam, Ain, Rimmon, Token, and Ashan,

five cities in all,

33 (Jos 19:8) and all the villages that were around these cities

as far as Baal.

Such are their inhabited cities, and those registered to them were

34 Meshobab, Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah;

35 Joel, and Jehu the son of Joshibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of Asiel;

36 Elioenai, Jaakobah, Jeshohaiah, Asaiah, Adiel, Jesimiel, Benaiah;

37 Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah,

the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah.

38 These mentioned by name were leaders in their families,

and their fathers' houses increased greatly.

39 (Jos 15:58; 1Ch 4:4) They went to the entrance of Gedor,

as far as the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks

40 (Jdg 18:7-10) There they found rich, good pasture,

and the land was wide, quiet, and peaceful;

for former inhabitants there belonged to Ham.

41 In the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, those written by name came

and attacked their tents, along with the Meunites who were found there,

and utterly destroyed them until this day. Then they dwelt there

in their place because there was pasture for their flocks there.

42 (Ge 36:8-9) Now some of them, namely five hundred men

from the sons of Simeon, went to Mount Seir with Pelatiah,

Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi, as their captains.

43 (1Sa 30:17; 15:7-8) Then they struck down the rest of the Amalekites

who had escaped. So they have dwelt there until this day.



[24] The sons of Simeon were, Nemuel, and Jamin, Jarib, Zerah, and Shaul:

[25] Shallum his son, Mibsam his son, Mishma his son.

[26] And the sons of Mishma; Hamuel his son, Zachur his son, Shimei his son.

[27] And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters; but his brethren had not

many children, neither did all their family multiply, like to the children

of Judah.

[28] And they dwelt at Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual,

[29] And at Bilhah, and at Ezem, and at Tolad,

[30] And at Bethuel, and at Hormah, and at Ziklag,

[31] And at Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susim, and at Beth-birei, and at

Shaaraim. These were their cities unto the reign of David.

[32] And their villages were, Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan,

five cities:

[33] And all their villages that were round about the same cities, unto

Baal. These were their habitations, and their genealogy.

[34] And Meshobab, and Jamlech, and Joshah the son of Amaziah,

[35] And Joel, and Jehu the son of Josibiah, the son of Seraiah, the son of

Asiel,

[36] And Elioenai, and Jaakobah, and Jeshohaiah, and Asaiah, and Adiel, and

Jesimiel, and Benaiah,

[37] And Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the

son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah;

[38] These mentioned by their names were princes in their families: and the

house of their fathers increased greatly.

[39] And they went to the entrance of Gedor, even unto the east side of the

valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

[40] And they found fat pasture and good, and the land was wide, and quiet,

and peaceable; for they of Ham had dwelt there of old.

[41] And these written by name came in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah,

and smote their tents, and the habitations that were found there, and

destroyed them utterly unto this day, and dwelt in their rooms: because

there was pasture there for their flocks.

[42] And some of them, even of the sons of Simeon, five hundred men, went to

mount Seir, having for their captains Pelatiah, and Neariah, and Rephaiah,

and Uzziel, the sons of Ishi.

[43] And they smote the rest of the Amalekites that were escaped, and dwelt

there unto this day.



1 CHRONICLES 5



Sons of Reuben



1 (Ge 29:32; 35:22) Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel

(for he was the firstborn, but since he defiled his father's bed,

his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel,

so that the genealogy is not listed according to the birthright;

2 (Mic 5:2; Mt 2:6; Ge 49:8-10 ) though Judah prevailed

over his brothers and a ruler came from him,

yet the birthright belonged to Joseph),

3 (Ge 46:9; Ex 6:14; Nu 26:5-9) the sons of Reuben the firstborn

of Israel were Hanok, Pallu, Hezron, and Karmi.

4 The sons of Joel were

Shemaiah his son, Gog his son,

Shimei his son,

5 Micah his son,

Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

6 (1Ch 5:26) and Beerah his son, whom

Tiglath--Pileser the king of Assyria led into exile.

He was a leader of the Reubenites.

7 (1Ch 5:1) 7His brothers according to their families

by the registration of their generations were

Jeiel, the first, and Zechariah;

8 (Nu 32:34; 32:38) Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel,

who dwelt in Aroer, even as far as Nebo and Baal Meon.

9 (Jos 22:8-9) And he dwelt toward the east as far as the entrance

to the wilderness from the Euphrates,

for their cattle were abundant in the land of Gilead.

10 Now in the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites,

who fell by their hand, and they dwelt in their tents over

all the eastern plains of Gilead.



[1] Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the

firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was

given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to

be reckoned after the birthright.

[2] For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler;

but the birthright was Joseph's:)

[3] The sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hannoch, and

Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

[4] The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

[5] Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,

[6] Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away

captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

[7] And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their

generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

[8] And Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt

in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-meon:

[9] And eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from

the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of

Gilead.

[10] And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by

their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of

Gilead.



Sons of Gad



11 (Jos 13:11; 13:24-28) The sons of Gad dwelt opposite

them in the land of Bashan as far as Salekah.

12 Joel was the first, Shapham the second,

with Janai and Shaphat in Bashan.

13 Their brothers of their father's house were

Michael, Meshullam, Sheba, Jorai, Jakan, Zia, and Eber, seven in all.

14 These are the sons of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah,

the sonof Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai,

the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;

15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni,

was the head of their father's house.

16 (1Ch 27:29; SS 2:1) They dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns,

and in all the outlands of Sharon to the edge of their borders.

17 (2Ki 14:16; 14:28) All of them were registered by genealogy in the days

of Jotham king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 (Nu 1:3) The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites,

and the half-tribe of Manasseh numbered 44760 valiant men,

men able to bear shield and sword, to shoot with a bow,

and who were skillful in battle, who went to war.

19 (Ge 25:15; 1Ch 1:31) They made war with the Hagrites, namely Jetur,

Naphish, and Nodab.

20 (2Ch 18:31; Ps 20:7-8) They were helped against them,

and the Hagrites and all who were with them were delivered into their hand,

for they cried to God in the battle, and He heard their prayer

because they trusted in Him.

21 They captured their livestock: fifty thousand of their camels,

two hundred and fifty thousand sheep, two thousand donkeys,

and one hundred thousand men.

22 (2Ki 15:29; 17:6) So many fell slain, because the war was of God.

And they dwelt in their place until the exile.



[11] And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan

unto Salchah:

[12] Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in

Bashan.

[13] And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and

Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.

[14] These are the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah,

the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of

Jahdo, the son of Buz;

[15] Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their

fathers.

[16] And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the

suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.

[17] All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of

Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

[18] The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of

valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and

skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore,

that went out to the war.

[19] And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and

Nodab.

[20] And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered

into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the

battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.

[21] And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of

sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men

an hundred thousand.

[22] For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they

dwelt in their steads until the captivity.

The Half-Tribe of Manasseh



23 (Dt 3:8-9; SS 4:8) The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh also dwelt

in the land. They increased from Bashan as far as Baal Hermon and Senir,

even to Mount Hermon.

24 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel,

Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, men of reputation,

and heads of their fathers' houses.

25 (Ex 34:15) They were unfaithful to the God of their fathers

and played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land,

whom God had wiped out before them.

26 (2Ki 15:19; 17:6) So the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul

the king of Assyria, even the spirit of Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria,

and he led the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh

into exile and brought them to Halah, Habor, Hara, and to the river of Gozan

to this day.



[23] And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they

increased from Bashan unto Baal-hermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.

[24] And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and

Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty

men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.

[25] And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a

whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before

them.

[26] And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and

the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away,

even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and

brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto

this day.



2) Our Daily Bread for 23 April 2026 titled

Staying in Step by Patricia Raybon



Romans 15:5-7



Please Others, Not Yourself



5 (Ro 12:16; 1Co 1:10) Now may the God of perseverance and encouragement

grant you to live in harmony with one another in accordance with Christ

Jesus,

6 (Eph 1:3; Jn 20:17) so that together you may with one voice glorify

the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.



[5] Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one

toward another according to Christ Jesus:

[6] That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of

our Lord Jesus Christ.



The Gospel for Jews and Gentiles Alike



7 Therefore welcome one another, just as Christ also welcomed us,

for the glory of God.



[7] Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the

glory of God.



Lillian Colón, who grew up in an orphanage, beat out four hundred dancers to

win a coveted spot on a world-renowned dance team. She performed with that

group, with its tightly ordered synchronised choreography, until her

mid-forties. Now teaching dance at age seventy, she imparts to students her

greatest lesson from precision artistry: Work together. "On and off the stage,

our lives are deeply intertwined," she said, "and we all fare better when we

support and care for one another."



The apostle Paul knew the importance of this principle. Harmony in Christ

points praise to its true purpose - glorifying God. Paul taught this lesson to

believers in Rome, both Jewish and gentile, to encourage their unity. "May the

God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind

toward each other that Christ Jesus had," he wrote (Romans 15:5). This was

"so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father

of our Lord Jesus Christ" (v. 6).



Competing voices won't produce this result. Joining together to praise God,

with no one person or group discounting another, gives unity in Christ its

true purpose. "Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you," wrote

Paul, "in order to bring praise to God" (v. 7). When we seek God's help to do

this, He inspires our common voice as we step together and give Him glory.



Reflect & Pray



Whose voice can you join in praise to God?

How can you prioritise unified praise?



Please open my heart, dear God, to unified praise with others.



Be inspired by a lifestyle of worship and how it impacts you today.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 5 - Waiting for the Wind



Is 40:31



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.



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.



High above civilisation, alone on his craggy peak, the eagle waits.

He watches, senses, and then, with effortless grace, he spreads

his wings and soars. He does not flap frantically to gain altitude,

he merely turns his wings into the wind and rises.

Is 40:31 promises that we, too, can be like the eagle,

mounting up on wings, soaring effortlessly,

without weariness. But this is not often our experience.

We usually flap around like invalid pigeons, scratching

for mere existence, flying only when our place in the park is disturbed.

We need to learn to wait on the Lord. Like the wind that raises the eagle

to the heights, the wind of the Spirit will lift us up as well - beyond

the weariness of daily life, beyond the struggle for existence, beyond

the plodding pace of normal interaction.

But the eagle does not rise without plunging for the cliff into the wind.

His ability to stay aloft is based on his understand of wind currents;

when the wind is against him, he rises. He waits on the cliff

until the right moment, then allows the contrary breezes to lift him up.

Most of us are grounded by the winds that are against us. We give up

and never take the first flight. We fear the plunge from the cliff into the

buoyant breath of God, and so we stand fixed, afraid to launch out.

But when we do take the risk, when we wait upon the Lord, and then

give ourselves in obedience to a free-fall from the cliffs of his will,

we discover that there is rest in soaring with him. We do not have to

struggle; we have only to fly, and in flying, to find new strength.



Application



a) Why is "waiting upon the Lord" essential

to "Mounting up with wings as the eagle"?



b) How can this verse help me be more willing to take risks in God's will?



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland



Joshua 1:8



8 (Ps 19:14; 119:15) This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth.

Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all

that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful,

and you will be wise.



8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt

meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according

to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,

and then thou shalt have good success.



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



When you are discouraged or Depressed



Matthew 11:25-30



25 (Ps 8:2; Jn 11:41) At that time Jesus said, "I thank You, O Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things

from the wise and prudent and revealed them to infants.

26 Even so, Father, for it seemed good in Your sight.

27 (Jn 10:15; Mt 28:18; Jn 1:18) "All things are delivered to Me

by My Father, and no one knows the Son, except the Father.

And no one knows the Father, except the Son and he to whom

the Son will reveal Him.

28 (Jn 7:37; 6:37) "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavily

burdened, and I will give you rest.

29 (Jer 6:16; Jn 13:15) Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me.

For I am meek and lowly in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls.(Jer 6:16).

30 (1Jn 5:3) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."

because He has dealt bountifully with me.



The Hidden Revelation

25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,

Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things

from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man

knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father,

save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek

and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.



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;

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

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



Manitoba



Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba



Manitoba 2015 population 1 282 000



est Muslim Population 21 349



CNMM Networks: Winnipeg



The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very

diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting

it might be twice that size.

Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size

of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.

Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth

of this Muslim centre in Manitoba.

We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers

among Muslims in Winnipeg.



Let us intercede in unity for:



- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population

- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim

communities around them, as well as training new workers

- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim

background believers and for effectiveness in outreach

- for the recent Somali woman who found faith in Jesus and stood her ground

in the face of opposition to her new faith.

- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged

with great support

more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Glorious things are spoken of you,

O city of God. Selah.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon

look, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia;

"This man was born there."

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) But of Zion it shall be said,

Psalm 87

A Psalm or Song for the sons of Korah.

[1] His foundation is in the holy mountains.

[2] The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

[3] Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah.

[4] I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold

Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there.

[5] And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the

highest himself shall establish her.

2) Our Daily Bread for 22 April 2026 titled

Joining God to Help By Winn Collier



Psalm 72:12-14



12 Indeed, may he deliver the needy when he cries;

the poor also, and him who has no helper.

13 May he have compassion on the poor and needy,

and save the lives of the needy.

14 May he redeem their life from deceit and violence;

and may their blood be precious in his sight.



[12] For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him

that hath no helper.

[13] He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

[14] He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall

their blood be in his sight.



As the Taliban swiftly overran the Afghanistan government in 2021, and tens of

thousands were trapped with no way to escape, many were isolated and

desperate. Ordinary citizens jumped to action, including one young man who

launched an Instagram campaign, raising $7 million to pay for chartered

evacuation flights. "We've shed the political divisions in this situation," he

told a news outlet, "and really come together from all walks of life to rally

together and save these people." They chose to jump into the fray.



It's not just Afghanistan. From skyscrapers to villages around the world, so

many people are alone - enduring crushing sorrows. It's stunning, however, to

see God's attention turned toward these places of suffering and hopelessness.

Somehow, ultimately, in His own way and time, He will "deliver the needy who

cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help" (72:12). And remarkably, one

way God's help arrives is through us. Psalm 72 refers to both King Solomon's

work and God's work - and it's not always easy to disentangle which is which.

God is the rescuer, but He calls us to move with Him.



When we encounter injustice or suffering, we can join Him, moving right into

the middle of the ruin. We can follow God and go into the places where no one

else is there to help.



Reflect & Pray



What situation have you encountered where it seems like there's no one else to

help? How can you join God in that place?



Dear God, thank You for promising to help

us - and for calling us to join You in helping others.





Learn how you can be moved to helping those in need.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 4 - Send for Help !



James 1:5



5 (Pr 2:3-6; Jn 15:7) If any of you lacks wisdom,

let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally

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



5 If any of you lack wisdom,

let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally,

and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.



A new employee in an electronics plant had the responsibility

for overseeing one machine. The machine worked fine when the young man

came on duty, but soon it began to run a bit rough. The employee

tinkered with the machine, trying to "fix" it, until finally if stopped

working altogether

In fear and trembling the worker sent for the foreman, and stammered,

"I - I, well, sir, I did my best to fix it."

"Son", the foreman thundered, "you need to know only one thing. Around

here, doing you best means sending for me!"

Wisdom, James 1:5 says, has its source in God alone. And if we are

to attain wisdom, we need to learn doing our best means sending for God.

Often we spend time tinkering with our lives or the the lives of others.

We don't think to as God for his wisdom in the decisions we must take;

instead, we use our human reasoning and take our best guess.

But the path to wisdom does not lie in guesswork. The scriptures

give us clear indication of God's direction for his people, and through Bible

study, application, prayer, and meditation,

we can understand what God wants to reveal to us.

"If any of you lacks wisdom," James says, "he should ask God, who gives

generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him."

The first step to attaining wisdom is recognising that we are not wise.

The second step is to ask. And God, who is faithful to his Word

and His people, will respond.



Application



a) Under what circumstances have I tinkered with my life,

making it worse rather then fixing it?



b) What practical steps can I take to ask God for wisdom?

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



When you are Saddened by Loss



John 14:1 - 7



1 "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in Me.

2 In My Father's house are many dwelling places.

If it were not so, I would have told you.

I am going to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again

and receive you to Myself,

that where I am, you may be also.

4 You know where I am going, and you know the way."

5 Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know

where You are going. How can we know the way?"

6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth,

and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.

From now on you do know Him and have seen Him."



1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so,

I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again,

and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;

and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also:

and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

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.
