    Prayer Wednesday

    “In the morning LORD, you hear my voice;
    In the morning I lay my requests before you and
    Wait expectantly.”

    I read today that the 7 best times to pray are:

    1. In the morning
    2. Before making important decisions
    3. When very busy
    4. When concerned about others
    5. When tempted
    6. When in pain
    7. At the moment of death

    Not sure where you land on this list today, but this is the Christian’s crazy hope: He hears! The world may laugh at your praying, but He promises to listen. So pray boldly.

    William Temple once said to his critics who said his ‘answers to prayer’ were just coincidences, “Well, when I pray coincidences happen; when I don’t pray, they don’t happen.”

    But let all who take refuge in You be glad;
    Spread your protection over them,
    That those who love your name may rejoice in You.

    Surely, LORD, you bless the righteous
    You surround them with your favour
    As with a shield.

    Praying with you this day!

    P.S. Add Sue Carmichael to your prayers this day as it looks like she’s in the last weeks of this life. Our prayer is for the full kindness of Jesus for both her and Phil. (Psalm 116:15)

     The Story | Could God Still Love Me? |  Chapter 19

    Ezra 3:10-13 - The book of Ezra tells the story of the return of God’s people from exile. The account details the extra care that was taken by the returnees in doing their best to reproduce what they once had. Very quickly, they got the old altar operational and began to rebuild the temple. Our story is about what they chose to do on the day the foundation of the new temple was in place. There was a party that didn’t feel like a party for everyone, and that’s just honest!
     

     

     

     

     
 
     
      
     
     
 
     
     
     
     The Story | Can Your God Rescue You? |  Chapter 18

    Daniel 6:1-24-The book of Daniel is all about the Sovereignty of God. The God of Israel proves himself sovereign even in faraway Babylon: boys receive foreign favour and are released from having to eat rich and potentially unkosher food. Young men are saved from a fiery furnace, and old man Daniel doesn’t get eaten by a den of hungry lions. God proves he’s not limited by international borders, arrogant kings or wild beasts. All of this points forward to Jesus, who demonstrated his sovereignty (he is God, after all!) in different ways.
     

     

     

     

     
 
     
      
     
     
 
     
     
     
     The Story | Does God Ever Give Up On Us? Chapter 17

    Ezekiel 36:22-28- The people of God deserved to be in exile in Babylon. They had betrayed their relationship with God by worshipping idols and committing horrible acts of violence. But instead of giving up on his people, God goes with them into exile. He shows up with a message of hope: he will bring them back, clean them up, and make them new. It was good news for the Israelites, and it’s good news for us today.
     

     

     

     

     
 
     
      
     
     
 
     
     
     
     The Story | What Do I Do With Sin In My Life?  | Chapter 16

    Isaiah 6:1-10 - Most of Isaiah’s writings don’t have a timestamp on them, but one event does. The day that he had his most profound encounter with God was shortly after King Uzziah died. King Uzziah would have been on the throne long before Isaiah was born and would have been the only king that Isaiah knew. That’s a big loss. Sometimes, God is able to meet us best when we’re tender from loss or grief.

    1 Kings 18:16-39 - Elijah lived at odds with his culture. An evil king (and queen!) wanted him dead, so he went into hiding. After 3 years, God prompted him to set up a showdown: Yahweh vs. Ba’al, good vs. evil, a battle to the death. Sadly, good’s triumph barely left a mark on the life of his country. Thankfully, there was another good vs evil showdown years later, and its impact is still being felt around the world.
     

     

     

     

     
 
     
      
     
     
 
     
     
     
     The Story | Whose Advice Should I Take? | Chapter 14

    1 Kings 12:1-16: King Rehoboam continues the descent that has been the story of the kings since the throne was established. No one seems to be able to get it right. Leadership is tough. It requires listening to God and keen self-awareness. Rehoboam’s legacy is that he divided the people of God. May that never happen again.
