Psalm 37
4Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
6And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

Father God, I come to you on this cold December day in prayer for this world. Violence abounds everywhere. The love of many has truly grown cold. And it seems that every demon of Hell is taking his mask off and blatantly thumbing his nose in Your face. Yet, Lord, we read the back of the book and know that though this weeping endures for the night, joy comes in the morning.

Father, I pray for those who do not know You. For those who place their trust in themselves alone, for those who embrace false religion or claim no religion. May their eyes be opened to Your truth.

I pray for Your warriors in the field. Not just those doing physical combat, but for those in spiritual battles. Bring us all through Lord. And let not the enemy triumph over us.

I pray for those in our government, particularly President Bush. Encourage and strengthen him, Father. Make your grace to shine upon him and this nation. Give peace to our land and to Your people Israel. And may the decisions made by our government be wise in Your eyes.

Go with us the rest of today I pray. Be with us tonight. In Jesus name I pray these things, Amen.

The Belayers

READ: 2 Thessalonians 2:13-17

We also pray always for you . . . that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you. —2 Thessalonians 1:11-12

 I have high respect for brave men and women who climb rugged mountain peaks. They have to take serious precautions as they scale sheer cliffs. One safety feature is a line that’s always connected to a person below, who is called the “belayer.” If the climber loses his balance or falls, the belayer holds him securely until he can regain his footing and continue his ascent or descent. Thus, “to belay” is to anchor, to hold securely, to keep safe.

Hope Church, near Cincinnati, has an adult fellowship group called “The Belayers.” Its members are committed to giving one another help and support in their daily walk with Christ and promise to uphold one another in prayer. They provide assistance as needed, they encourage one another, and they come alongside in times of spiritual danger. They “hold the ropes” for each other.

I think that the apostle Paul was a belayer for many churches, including the Thessalonian church. The believers there were undergoing persecution and were troubled. He reminded them that they were chosen and still loved by God (2 Thess. 2:13). And he encouraged them to continue trusting the Lord, and prayed for them (vv.15-17).

Whose “rope” is God encouraging you to hold?

When others help in time of need,
We then should let them know
How much their strength has meant to us;
To them our thanks we owe.  —F. Hess

A word of encouragement can make the difference between giving up or going on.

Bible in One Year:   Zechariah 13-14; Revelation 21
