Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
Psalm 127:1>
At this time, when feelings run high, the world seems crazy, and anger seems to be the one thing the peoples of the world have in common, I invite you, my fellow FReepers, to join me in prayers and meditation for guidance, God's help and for our fellow man, for America, our troops, and all our own needs.
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
William Bradbury
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change,
though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea;
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble with its tumult.
Psalm 46: 1-3

You make known to me the path of life.
“Thus says the Lord: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.”—“I will instruct you in the good and the right way.”—“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”—“Follow me.”
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.—“The gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”
And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it. It shall belong to those who walk on the way; even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.—“Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord.”
“In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?”
Ps. 16:11; Jer. 21:8; 1 Sam. 12:23; John 14:6; Matt. 4:19; Prov. 14:12; Matt. 7:13, 14; Isa. 35:8; Hos. 6:3; John 14:2

Flung to the heedless winds,
Or on the waters cast,
The martyrs’ ashes, watched,
Shall gathered be at last.
And from that scattered dust,
Around us and abroad,
Shall spring a plenteous seed,
Of witnesses for God.
The Father hath received,
Their latest living breath,
And vain is Satan’s boast,
Of victory in their death.
Still, still, though dead, they speak,
And, trumpet tongued, proclaim,
To many a wakening land,
The one availing Name.
—Martin Luther, 1523
Father, we lift up our South Korean Brothers and Sisters to you, that they may remain steadfast and Glorify you.
We pray for the Family of Pastor Bae Hyung-kyu.
Comfort their hearts.
I ask that you would release the group.
Pour out and Fill them up to overflowing with your Beautiful and Wonderful and Powerful Holy Spirit.
Let Afghani eyes behold that you are a Living God and that this is YOUR BATTLE.
Bring them repentance and Faith in the Name of Jesus, and defeat the powers of hell in their lives.
In the Glorious name of Jesus,
Amen.
IN MEMORY of Pastor Bae Hyung-kyu.
2Ti 4:5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
2Ti 4:6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
2Ti 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
2Ti 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

I sing the mighty power of God, that made the mountains rise,
That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day;
The moon shines full at God’s command, and all the stars obey.
I sing the goodness of the Lord, who filled the earth with food,
Who formed the creatures through the Word, and then pronounced them good.
Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, where’er I turn my eye,
If I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky.
There’s not a plant or flower below, but makes Thy glories known,
And clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from Thy throne;
While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care;
And everywhere that we can be, Thou, God art present there.
—Isaac Watts, 1715
LORD, though men deny you and vast armies rise against the Lamb, and though our countrymen leave off serving you, yet you will be praised and you are Worthy of all Glory and Honor and Worship.
You are God and there is none other.
You will come suddenly, your reward with you, to give to all men according to their deeds.
2Ti 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
2Ti 3:13 while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
2Ti 3:14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it
2Ti 3:15 and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
2Ti 1:8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,
2Ti 1:9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,
2Ti 1:10 and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
1Pe 5:10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

O Lord, You're Beautiful {Keith Green}
O lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek
For when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me
O Lord, please light the fire
That once burned bright and clear
Replace the lamp of my first love
That burns with holy fear!
I wanna take Your word
And shine it all around
But first help me just to live it, Lord!
And when I'm doing well
Help me to never seek a crown
For my reward is giving glory to You
O lord, You're beautiful
Your face is all I seek
For when Your eyes are on this child
Your grace abounds to me
We Worship You, our Risen, Living Savior and Lord. We Honor You, we Glorify You with All our Hearts. You are Precious to us, and we Long Each Moment to See Your Face. Come Soon, our Shepherd-King, and Establish Thy Kingdom of Peace. We Long for Your Appearing, our Lord of Mercy and Love.
Be Pleased, Your Majesty, to be Exalted and Praised Forevermore. Thank You for Loving us, our Dearest Papa-Father. In Jesus' Name, and for His Excellent Glory we Pray, amen.
You are the Fairest of All;
Your Words are Filled with Grace. (Ps.45:2)
I Praise him with you Kitty Mittens.

O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace!
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name.
Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
’Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
’Tis life, and health, and peace.
He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive,
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.
Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Savior come,
And leap, ye lame, for joy.
In Christ your Head, you then shall know,
Shall feel your sins forgiven;
Anticipate your heaven below,
And own that love is heaven.
Glory to God, and praise and love
Be ever, ever given,
By saints below and saints above,
The church in earth and heaven.
Look unto Him, ye nations, own
Your God, ye fallen race;
Look, and be saved through faith alone,
Be justified by grace.
See all your sins on Jesus laid:
The Lamb of God was slain,
His soul was once an offering made
For every soul of man.
2Pe 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

Shout to the Lord {Darlene Zschech}
My Jesus, my Savior
Lord there is none like You
All of my days
I want to praise
The wonders of Your mighty love
My comfort, my shelter
Tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath
All that I am
Never cease to worship You
CHORUS:
Shout to the Lord
All the earth
Let us sing
Power and majesty
Praise to the King
Mountains bow down
And the seas will roar
At the sound
Of Your name
I sing for joy
At the work
Of Your hands
Forever I'll love You
Forever I'll stand
Nothing compares
To the promise
I have in You
REPEAT VERSES 1 & 2
CHORUS(x2)
Nothing compares to the promise
I have in You
(Repeat)
Let Everything that hath Breath Praise the Lord! (Ps.150:6)

Now rest beneath night’s shadow
The woodland, field, and meadow,
The world in slumber lies;
But Thou, my heart, awake thee,
To prayer and song betake thee;
Let praise to thy Creator rise.
The radiant sun hath vanished,
His golden rays are banished
By night, the foe of day;
But Christ, the Sun of gladness,
Dispelling all my sadness,
Within my heart holds constant sway.
The rule of day is over
And shining jewels cover
The heaven’s boundless blue.
Thus I shall shine in heaven,
Where crowns of gold are given
To all who faithful prove and true.
To rest my body hasteth,
Aside its garments casteth,
Types of mortality;
These I put off and ponder
How Christ will give me yonder
A robe of glorious majesty.
Lord Jesus, who dost love me,
Oh, spread Thy wings above me
And shield me from alarm!
Though evil would assail me,
Thy mercy will not fail me:
I rest in Thy protecting arm.
My loved ones, rest securely,
For God this night will surely
From peril guard your heads.
Sweet slumbers may He send you
And bid His hosts attend you
And through the night watch o’er your beds.
—Paul Gerhardt, 1648
Psalm 138
138:1 I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart;
before the gods I sing your praise;
2 I bow down toward your holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.
3 On the day I called, you answered me;
my strength of soul you increased.
4 All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O Lord,
for they have heard the words of your mouth,
5 and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord,
for great is the glory of the Lord.
6 For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly,
but the haughty he knows from afar.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
and your right hand delivers me.
8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me;
your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake the work of your hands.
Oh Father in Heaven, thank you for your precious peace.
I ask that you would give it liberally to all who call upon you.
Especially Bless those who suffer for your Name’s sake.
We ask that you uphold our South Korean Brethren in captivity.
Deliver them from the evil one.
Settle us like small children, comforted by your power and strength, and gladdened by your presence.
You never leave us or forsake us.
Blessed are you Oh LORD our GOD.

Daily Light on the Daily Path
July 28
Morning
Walk in love.
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.”—Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.—Love covers all offenses.
“Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”—“Love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return.”—Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles.—Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.—If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.—Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
Eph. 5:2; John 13:34; 1 Pet. 4:8; Prov. 10:12; Mark 11:25; Luke 6:35; Prov. 24:17; 1 Pet. 3:9; Rom. 12:18; Eph. 4:32; 1 John 3:18
In The Place Of Self
Horatius Bonar
In the place of self the believer gets the Son of God. Christ fills us, occupies us, engrosses us henceforth. He is all to us what self was before. He takes the place of self in everything from first to last, great or small. He is the substitute for self in the matter of our standing before God. As the first thing the Holy Spirit does is to set aside self in the matter of justification and acceptance, so His next is to present to us the Son of God as the true ground of our acceptance. We no longer seek to be justified by self in any sense or on account of anything done to self, on account of ammended self or improved self or mortified self, but solely on account of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us and Who rose again. And in this Son of God, Whom we take as a substitute for self, we find an object worth living for, someone we can carry through every part of our life and into every region of our life.
OH LORD, HELP ME TO COOPERATE WITH YOUR SPIRIT TODAY MOST FULLY.
LET YOUR WORD RISE TO MY REMEMBRANCE AS I SERVE THOSE AROUND ME AND LIVE IN THE LOVE YOU GIVE.
THANK YOU FOR MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES AND FATHER, BLESS FREE REPUBLIC AND MY FAMILY HERE WHO LOVE YOU AND ARE CALLED ACCORDING TO YOUR PURPOSE.
BLESS JIM, FATHER.
LET HIM KNOW TODAY, IN A SPECIAL WAY, HOW YOU LOVE HIM.
PROTECT OUR SOUTH KOREAN BRETHREN.
DELIVER THEM FROM THE EVIL ONE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS I ASK.
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/l/p/lprayer.htm
Our Father, who art in Heaven,
Hallowèd be Thy Name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil,
For Thine is the kingdom
And the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen.

Thank you Bp.He will be 9years old soon and these camps are important during the formative years. We prayed God would open the door for him to go ,and provision was made!... He is up, dressed and raring to go to Church Bible Day Camp today. God is impressing on us the importance of daily teaching the Word of God via memorization.!His dates for Forest Home Summer Camp are Aug 12-18th and I would really appreciate prayers for him that week. He has gone through a lot in his little lifetime and we are pleased that he is turning to God for strength. Polly
