DEAR LORD,

WE THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY, THIS HOUR AND THIS SECOND.

LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR THIS TIME YOUR SAINTS CAN GATHER BEFORE YOUR THRONE OF GRACE WITH PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION.

LORD, WE PRAY FOR ALL OF YOUR SAINTS NO MATTER WHERE THEY MAY BE OR WHATEVER THEIR NEED.

LORD, WE PRAY ESPECIALLY FOR OUR TROOPS AND PATRIOTS WHO FAITHFULLY PLACE THERE PRAYERS FOR OUR HEROES AT THE FOOT OF THE THRONE,AND TO ALL MEMBERS OF GOVERNMENT WHO HOLD YOUR TRUTHS CLOSE TO THEIR HEARTS.

LORD, WE PRAY FOR YOUR CONTINUED HAND OF GUIDANCE AND PROTECTION IN EACH ONES LIFE. LORD, WE PRAY EACH BELIEVER LOCKS INTO THEIR HEART THE FACT THAT YOU ARE GOD AND TOTALLY SOVEREIGN, WE PRAY THEY JUST LET YOU BE YOU AND STOP BOXING IN YOUR EMINENCE.

LORD, WE PRAY ALL CHRISTIAN PATRIOTS CHOOSE THE RIGHTER WRONG AND HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW YOU WOULD LIKE THE BETTER GOOD IN AUTHORITY, NOT VOTE BASED ON SINGLE ISSUES, THOUGH TEMPER THEIR THOUGHTS THROUGH THE FILTER OF YOUR WHOLE WORD.

LORD, WE PRAY FOR THIS COUNTRY, A LAND FORMED ON THE PRINCIPALS YOU GAVE US. WE PRAY FOR A RETURN TO A TIME WHEN THIS LAND WAS BASED ON GOD, DUTY AND HONOR. LORD, WE PRAY FOR YOUR SOVEREIGN HAND OF PROTECTION AGAINST ALL WHO THREATEN OUR LAND.

WE PRAY THAT THE DECEPTIVE LIES OF POLITICAL DESPOTS AND THE MEDIA WILL FALL ON DEAF EARS AND ONLY YOUR TRUTH WILL BE HEARD.

LORD, WE PRAY FOR ALL OF THE DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM, WHETHER HOME OR IN FOREIGN LANDS.

WE PRAY FOR THEIR SAFETY AND WE PRAY FOR COMFORT FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND WE THANK YOU FOR THEIR STRENGTH AND COURAGE IN STAYING THE COURSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

LORD, WE PRAY FOR THE PROTECTION OF ISRAEL FROM MUSLIM TERRORISTS.

LORD, WE THANK YOU FOR THE SKILL AND FORTITUDE YOU HAVE GIVEN OUR MILITARY WHICH ENABLES THEM TO TURN EVIL MEN OVER TO YOU FOR ETERNAL JUDGMENT.

Jude 1:24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,

Jude 1:25 To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

Psalms 73:1 A Psalm of Asaph.Truly God is good to Israel, To such as are pure in heart.

Psalms 73:2 But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled; My steps had nearly slipped.

Psalms 73:3 For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

Psalms 73:4 For there are no pangs in their death, But their strength is firm.

Psalms 73:5 They are not in trouble as other men, Nor are they plagued like other men.

Psalms 73:6 Therefore pride serves as their necklace; Violence covers them like a garment.

Psalms 73:7 Their eyes bulge with abundance; They have more than heart could wish.

Psalms 73:8 They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; They speak loftily.

Psalms 73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, And their tongue walks through the earth.

Psalms 73:10 Therefore his people return here, And waters of a full cup are drained by them.

Psalms 73:11 And they say, "How does God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?"

Psalms 73:12 Behold, these are the ungodly, Who are always at ease; They increase in riches.

Psalms 73:13 Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, And washed my hands in innocence.

Psalms 73:14 For all day long I have been plagued, And chastened every morning.

Psalms 73:15 If I had said, "I will speak thus," Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.

Psalms 73:16 When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me-

Psalms 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end.

Psalms 73:18 Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction.

Psalms 73:19 Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.

Psalms 73:20 As a dream when one awakes, So, Lord, when You awake, You shall despise their image.

Psalms 73:21 Thus my heart was grieved, And I was vexed in my mind.

Psalms 73:22 I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.

Psalms 73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand.

Psalms 73:24 You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.

Psalms 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but You? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You.

Psalms 73:26 My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Psalms 73:27 For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.

Psalms 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, That I may declare all Your works. (NKJV)

"Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory."

- Psalm 73:24

The Psalmist felt his need of divine guidance. He had just been discovering the foolishness of his own heart, and lest he should be constantly led astray by it, he resolved that God's counsel should henceforth guide him. A sense of our own folly is a great step towards being wise, when it leads us to rely on the wisdom of the Lord. The blind man leans on his friend's arm and reaches home in safety, and so would we give ourselves up implicitly to divine guidance, nothing doubting; assured that though we cannot see, it is always safe to trust the all-seeing God. "Thou shalt," is a blessed expression of confidence. He was sure that the Lord would not decline the condescending task. There is a word for thee, O believer; rest thou in it. Be assured that thy God will be thy counsellor and friend; he shall guide thee; he will direct all thy ways. In his written Word thou hast this assurance in part fulfilled, for holy Scripture is his counsel to thee. Happy are we to have God's Word always to guide us! What were the mariner without his compass? And what were the Christian without the Bible? This is the unerring chart, the map in which every shoal is described, and all the channels from the quicksands of destruction to the haven of salvation mapped and marked by one who knows all the way. Blessed be thou, O God, that we may trust thee to guide us now, and guide us even to the end! After this guidance through life, the Psalmist anticipates a divine reception at last-"and afterward receive me to glory. " What a thought for thee, believer! God himself will receive thee to glory-thee! Wandering, erring, straying, yet he will bring thee safe at last to glory! This is thy portion; live on it this day, and if perplexities should surround thee, go in the strength of this text straight to the throne.

AMEN to your beautiful prayers and scripture. Thank you for leading this day.

Than You, Lord, for these lives You have given all of us. You have allowed us to follow our own paths, whether wandering at times, or staying close to you. It is our freedom of choice you give each day. Lord, help us to enjoy this freedom, forever, in this land we call home.

Protect those that are armed and fighting to maintain and secure freedom for us, and others, throughout this tainted orb.

THIS NEW EDEN

This was the land of spirits
before sailing ships came o’er.
It was God’s other Eden
Truly blessed from shore to shore

Many new their Great Father
and followed in His ways
Their lives were full, yet simple,
In this land’s golden days

God gave the ample riches,
the earth, the trees, the sky,
the animals that fed them,
kept them warm and dry

Yes, their lives were simple
Made with their own hands
They called themselves “the people”
Each and every band

Of course, there were evil ones
who would steal instead of toil
We know who’s spirit led them
For satan also trod this soil

(to be continued)

What a thought for thee, believer! God himself will receive thee to glory-thee! Wandering, erring, straying, yet he will bring thee safe at last to glory!

Wonderful Spurgeon Devotional and Scriptures, Dear Pastor in Grace! May your Ministries bring Glory Forever to our Savior's Great Name.

From an Email:

DID YOU KNOW?

As you walk up the steps to the building which houses the U.S Supreme Court you can see near the top of the building a row of the world’s law givers and each one is facing one in the middle who is facing forward with a full frontal view ... it is Moses and he is holding the Ten Commandments!

DID YOU KNOW?

As you enter the Supreme Court courtroom, the Two huge oak doors have the Ten Commandments Engraved on each lower portion of each door.

DID YOU KNOW?

As you sit inside the courtroom, you can see The wall, right above where the Supreme Court judges sit, a display of the Ten Commandments!

DID YOU KNOW?

There are Bible verses etched in stone all over the Federal Buildings and Monuments in Washington , D.C.

DID YOU KNOW?

James Madison, the fourth president, known as ‘The Father of Our Constitution’ made the following statement:

’ We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.’

DID YOU KNOW?

Every session of Congress begins with a prayer by a paid preacher, whose salary has been paid by the taxpayer since 1777.

DID YOU KNOW?

Fifty-two of the 55 founders of the Constitution were members of the established orthodox churches in the colonies.

DID YOU KNOW?

Thomas Jefferson worried that the Courts would overstep their authority and instead of interpreting the law would begin making law an oligarchy the rule of few over many.

How then, have we gotten to the point that everything we have done for 232 years in this country is now suddenly wrong and unconstitutional?

Lets put it around the world and let the world see and remember what this great country was built on.

I was asked to send this on if I agreed or delete if I didn’t. Now it is your turn...

It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore, it is very hard to understand why there is such a mess about having the Ten Commandments on display or ‘In God We Trust’ on our money and having God in the Pledge of
Allegiance.

Why don’t we just tell the other 14% to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!!

If you agree, pass it on!

[Irish Rose]

Amen.

[Irish Rose]

Thank you for posting “This New Eden”. I’ll be waiting for the second part.
