See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who have created the destroyer to work havoc; no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me, declares the LORD. (Isaiah 54:16-17)
TOPICS: Religion & Culture
KEYWORDS: america; military; pray
Lord in heaven, we come to You with reverence for all that You are, and praise for all that You have done.
Father, we pray that You will uphold our military men and women, wherever they are; may no enemies who come against them prevail, no weapons turned against them prosper.
LORD, it is You who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is You who have created the destroyer to work havoc. By Your hand, no weapon forged against us will prevail, and we will refute every tongue that accuses us. For You have justified us by the blood of Jesus, and no one can condemn us. You are the Rock the Rock of our salvation, the Rock of our refuge and hell itself cannot overcome us. In all things every trouble, every hardship, every distress we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is our vindication from You, in Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Remind The People May 9, 2015
Remind the believers to . . . show true humility to everyone.
Titus 3:12 nlt
In a typical week, many of us receive a number of emails reminding us of appointments or upcoming events or requests to pray for someone. All of them are needed reminders.
When Paul wrote his papyrus mail to Titus, he ended his note by saying, Remind the believers . . . (3:1 nlt). We can assume from Pauls word choice that he had already written about these things. But they were of such importance to the people in the church that he repeated them so they wouldnt forget.
Notice what Paul didnt want them to miss. He reminded the people living under the oppressive Roman ruleto be subject to rulers and authorities (v.1). It was important to be known for obedience; for doing what is good; for not slandering; for being peaceful and considerate; and for humility rather than for complaining. Their behavior was to showcase the change made in their lives by following Christ (vv.3-5).
How could theyand wedo that? The Holy Spirit whom He poured out on us . . . through Jesus Christ enables us to devote [ourselves] to doing what is good (vv.5-6,8 niv). It is through Jesus great gift of salvation that we are equipped to influence our world for good. Thats a reminder we all need.
Lord, remind us how important it is that we obey You and treat others the way we want to be treated. Remind us that Your salvation enables us to live as lights in a dark world.
A Christians life is a window through which others can see Jesus.
: Twice Paul asked his protégé Titus to remind believers to always be ready to do good works (vv. 1,8). Although we are saved by Gods mercy and grace and not by what we do (vv. 4-7), our works are the evidence of our faith. Paul taught in Ephesians 2:8-10: God saved you by his grace . . . . Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done. . . . He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago (NLT).
