SCRIPTURE: Psalm 78:1-7 NAS
God’s Guidance of His People in Spite of Their Unfaithfulness.

Listen, O my people, to my instruction;
Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings of old,

Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have told us.

We will not conceal them from their children,
But tell to the generation to come the praises of the Lord,
And His strength and His wondrous works that He has done.

For He established a testimony in Jacob
And appointed a law in Israel,
Which He commanded our fathers
That they should teach them to their children,

That the generation to come might know, even the children yet to be born,
That they may arise and tell them to their children,

That they should put their confidence in God
And not forget the works of God,
But keep His commandments.

SCRIPTURE: Psalm 70

O God, hasten to deliver me;
O Lord, hasten to my help!

Let those be ashamed and humiliated
Who seek my life;
Let those be turned back and dishonored
Who delight in my hurt.

Let those be turned back because of their shame
Who say, “Aha, aha!”

Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
And let those who love Your salvation say continually,
“Let God be magnified.”

But I am afflicted and needy;
Hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay.

PRAYER:
Almighty God, we praise you for your constant presence from generation to generation. Give us wisdom to choose between you and the false gods of this world. Even when we are unfaithful choosing our own way, when we repent you are faithful to forgive our brokenness and return to you. In the midst of evil, give us strength to serve as living witness of your truth.

Bless and strengthen President Trump and Vice President Pence to the lives of service which you have called them. Protect them and their families physically, mentally and spiritually from all evil. Give them your wisdom to discern your will for our nation. Stop the deep-state that would violate your plans for our nation developing negative schemes to manipulation and control government policy.

We ask in the through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 25:1-13
The Parable of the Ten Virgins

“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

“Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

“‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

“But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.

“Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’

“But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

SCRIPTURE: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 NIV
Believers Who Have Died

Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
