And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not;
I will lead them in paths that they have not known:
I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.
These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
Isaiah 42:16

Father God,
As we witness once again the beauty of springtime, we remember the newness of life that You bring to all who seek You. May we sing of Your mercies forever and make known Your faithfulness to all generations. May the heavens praise Your wonders, Lord, for You are the glory of our strength. You are our defense, and the Holy One of Israel is our King forever.
Father, we pray that You will lead all of our military men and women who have been blinded by the devils works and guide them onto paths that they have not known. Make darkness light before them and crooked things straight. Father, we know You will not forsake them. Their need for You is great whether they recognize it or not. For those who do know You, Lord, please place fellow believers in their paths who will help them and encourage them. Thank You for the many ways that Your people can serve You, Lord.
With our mouths and our hearts, we bless Your people Israel, Lord, and pray for the preservation of their land. Thank You for being the God Who keeps His promises to His people. May Your Name be glorified both now and evermore.
Father, may Your beauty be upon us, and may You establish the work of our hands as we go about this new week. We are grateful that Your mercies are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. We thank You and praise You in the Name of our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Who Gets The Credit?
May 5, 2014
Read: Jeremiah 9:23-26
Chris Langan has an IQ higher than Albert Einsteins. Moustafa Ismail has 31-inch biceps and can lift 600 pounds. Bill Gates is estimated to be worth billions. Those who have extraordinary abilities or possessions might be tempted to think more highly of themselves than they should. But we dont have to be wildly smart, strong, or wealthy to want to take credit for our achievements. Any size of accomplishment carries with it this question: Who will get the credit?
During a time of judgment, God spoke to the Israelites through the prophet Jeremiah. He said: Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let the rich man glory in his riches (Jer. 9:23). Rather, Let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me (v.24). God wanted His people to prize Him and His excellence above anything else.
If we allow praise to inflate our self-image, were forgetting that every good gift . . . comes down from the Father (James 1:17). Its better to give God the glorynot only because it protects our hearts from pride but also because He rightfully deserves it. He is God, the One who does great things . . . marvelous things without number (Job 5:9).
Not I, but Christ, be honored, loved, exalted;
Not I, but Christ, be seen, be known, be heard;
Not I, but Christ, in every look and action;
Not I, but Christ, in every thought and word. Whiddington
We were created to give God the glory.
Circumcision was the external sign that the Israelites were Gods covenantal people (Gen. 17:10-14). But circumcision was not exclusive to them, for it was widely practiced in the ancient world, including among the Egyptian and Canaanite peoples (Jer. 9:26). Although the Jews knew it was a symbol of their covenant with God, few, if any, understood the need for a spiritual operation on the heart (Deut. 10:16; Jer. 4:4; Acts 7:51). A humble and obedient heart was what God wanted from His people (Lev. 26:41; Deut. 30:6; Jer. 9:24; Rom. 2:29). God warned that He would punish all those who are circumcised in body but not in spirit (Jer. 9:25).

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!
GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE "Let Tyrants Shake Their Iron Rod" William Billings Mixed District Choir, Fairfax, Virginia (Click)
IN THE COLDEST and darkest days of the American Revolution, General George Washington raised his prayers for the survival of his beleaguered Army and of the new Nation. The Lord answered those prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting Glory, and bestowed His manifold benefits upon the new Nation.

FROM THE BRAVE, albeit weary, ill-equipped, and untrained volunteers who marched into Valley Forge on 19 December 1777 arose, with the help of some gallant friends from across the waves, the cohesive fighting force that became the United States Army, global defender of Freedom and scourge of Tyrants.
AS GENERAL WASHINGTON lifted his prayers on high in that bleak Winter, let our prayers now rise like a fountain for our Heroes in the American Armed Forces who seek to secure the benefits of Freedom on behalf of a people hungry for them. Father, look on our prayers for them with favor, guide their steps in righteousness and envelop them in the shelter of Your Healing Wings. Bless and uphold them in the performance of their Mission. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

HEAVENLY FATHER, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these valiant men and women who have fallen in the service of our Beloved Nation and in defense of the Freedoms we hold dear. We pray that You gather them in Your loving embrace, that You cause Your Countenance to shine upon them, and that You vouchsafe their souls to dwell eternally in Your Divine Presence. Through Jesus Christ Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

"Riamh nár dhruid ó sbairn lann!
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
