Ps 1:1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
(NKJV)
Dear Lord,
thankyou for this very moment the saints of this prayer ministry can gather to praise You and send our prayers toward home.
Lord we pray for all of our defenders of freedom in harms way as they fight to bring freedom from tyranny to a torn nation.
Lord,we pray for all of Your saints,and especially for our president,his family and counsel.
2Co 12:1 It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord:
2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a one was caught up to the third heaven.
3 And I know such a man--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows--
4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 Of such a one I will boast; yet of myself I will not boast, except in my infirmities.
6 For though I might desire to boast, I will not be a fool; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should think of me above what he sees me to be or hears from me.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.
8 Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
(NKJV)
"I will pour water upon him that is thirsty."
- Isaiah 44:3
When a believer has fallen into a low, sad state of feeling, he often
tries to lift himself out of it by chastening himself with dark and
doleful fears. Such is not the way to rise from the dust, but to continue
in it. As well chain the eagle's wing to make it mount, as doubt in order
to increase our grace. It is not the law, but the gospel which saves the
seeking soul at first; and it is not a legal bondage, but gospel liberty
which can restore the fainting believer afterwards. Slavish fear brings
not back the backslider to God, but the sweet wooings of love allure him
to Jesus' bosom. Are you this morning thirsting for the living God, and
unhappy because you cannot find him to the delight of your heart? Have you
lost the joy of religion, and is this your prayer, "Restore unto me the
joy of thy salvation"? Are you conscious also that you are barren, like
the dry ground; that you are not bringing forth the fruit unto God which
he has a right to expect of you; that you are not so useful in the Church,
or in the world, as your heart desires to be? Then here is exactly the
promise which you need, "I will pour water upon him that is thirsty." You
shall receive the grace you so much require, and you shall have it to the
utmost reach of your needs. Water refreshes the thirsty: you shall be
refreshed; your desires shall be gratified. Water quickens sleeping
vegetable life: your life shall be quickened by fresh grace. Water swells
the buds and makes the fruits ripen; you shall have fructifying grace: you
shall be made fruitful in the ways of God.
Whatever good quality there is in divine grace, you shall enjoy it to the
full.
All the riches of divine grace you shall receive in plenty; you shall be
as it were drenched with it: and as sometimes the meadows become flooded
by the bursting rivers, and the fields are turned into pools, so shall you
be-the thirsty land shall be springs of water.
