Revelation 5 : 13

And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

“ Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

[wendelmyer]

Father in Heaven, we lift our arms up in praise for you. Our voices sing of your mercies and we live our lives to glorify you. We once were full of misery but you placed your arms around us and led us in the way we should go. Your promises we cling to each day and you give us understanding through your words of love. We rejoice because of your great mercy and we have hope each day that you give to us, all because HE lives.

Father we come together to pray for our President and ask that you would strengthen him against the foe. Give him wisdom as he makes decisions and we pray that you would make him as bold as a lion as he makes tough choices. His days as President are but a few but may they glorify you, Holy One.

Father be with our servicemen and women, their task is not an easy one but they are valiant men and women and we ask that you would put a hedge of protection around them. Comfort them as well as their families as they give for freedom. We ask these things in Your Son’s precious name, amen

[wendelmyer]

Come and pray.

[The Mayor]

Wheelchair Ride

READ: Psalm 59

You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. —Psalm 59:16

Ben Carpenter has muscular dystrophy and gets around in an electric wheelchair. One day as he was crossing an intersection, the light changed and a semi-truck caught the handles of Ben’s wheelchair in its grille. Unaware, the driver started down the road, and before long Ben was being pushed along at 50 miles per hour. Soon the rubber on the wheelchair’s tires began to burn off.

Passersby saw the bizarre sight and phoned 911 to inform the police. When the truck driver pulled over, he was astonished to see what was attached to his truck’s grille. Ben had a big scare but escaped without injury.

Sometimes we may feel as if our lives have been hijacked by unexpected circumstances. When David was invited to King Saul’s court, he soothed the king’s nerves by playing on his lyre. Then, unpredictably, the jealous king threw a spear at him. David found himself caught in a dangerous drama of pursuit in which King Saul tried to take his life. Yet David looked to God for immediate protection, and he ultimately received deliverance. Because of this experience he wrote of the faithfulness of God: “You have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble” (Ps. 59:16).

No matter what our trouble, God is there.

I never walk alone, Christ walks beside me,
He is the dearest Friend I’ve ever known;
With such a Friend to comfort and to guide me,
I never, no, I never walk alone. —Ackley

When troubles call on you, call on God.

Bible in One Year: Esther 4–6; Proverbs 9:10-18

Father in Heaven, we lift our arms up in praise for you. Our voices sing of your mercies and we live our lives to glorify you.

'How Good it is to Sing His Praises.' (Ps.147:1)
