Night Prayer
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
Inspiration
As Christians, we are called to be careful and intentional about our path. When we seek God’s leading and discern our options with Spirit-provided wisdom, we save ourselves much trouble and aggravation. A mindful journey guards our lives by minimizing unnecessary temptation and providing sure, solid footing beneath our steps.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for providing a safe path to walk with You. Though temptations and pain are still a part of this world, I am trusting You to show me the way to avoid entanglements with evil, overcome temptation, and remain close to You. Guide my feet across Your solid rock, so that I may take each step with confidence because You are with me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
WARNING GRAPHIC !!!
This is what the Jews are doing to kidnapped Palestinian civilians. Their wrists are bound, their eyes are taped shut, they are pushed into a pit of tyres and shot.
The tyres are then set alight.
Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
This is the true face of Judaism.
Devotion
We are all one through suffering and hope
David Jacobs
There are certain things that connect all humans, regardless of where they are from or what they believe. Suffering and pain is felt by all of us. Perhaps it is most evident, as this passage suggests, during childbirth. Life is brought into the world but in doing so, there is suffering. Knowing that there is so much suffering and uncertainty that faces us, it is easy to lose hope. It is easy to be impatient. Do not forget that God hears our prayers and has seen our suffering! He sent His only son to endure the same. The Holy Spirit dwells inside of each and every one of us, emboldening us to endure.
On this day, it is important to rejoice in the strength and hope that the Holy Spirit instills in all of us. We are all one, united in more ways than we realize. The world may seem so divided, but do we not all enter it in the same way? Does every mother not suffer and endure the hardships of labor while grasping onto hope? ...
Morning Prayer
Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
Inspiration
To believe in Jesus is to believe in God. As Christians, we understand this truth, but this statement is no mere teaching moment. Jesus cries these words out in frustration. Why? Because people who devoted their lives to following God refused to acknowledge Him. But fear kept them silent. So Jesus is calling on them to proclaim what they already say they believe.
Prayer
Father, forgive me for the times that I have failed to acknowledge You. Give me the boldness and confidence to not be ashamed to proclaim Your name. You have revealed Yourself in Jesus, and I know that this is true. Empower me to live in that truth, so that others may see You and know You too. In Jesus’ name, amen.
