Dear LORD, it’s with great longing I pray for my boy and for all those who are away from their loved ones. I ask, Dear LORD, that each letter they receive from us will be a treasure filled to the fullest with Blessings, with the Peace of the LORD, with Grace and above all else…LOVE, ours and YOURS DIVINE for them. Thank you for each and every man and woman who sacrificially place themselves in the position where communication can only be through words of the heart written on paper. We depend on the HOLY SPIRIT to quicken their spirits as they read our words and know our prayers for them. Thank YOU Gracious GOD…Amen
Dear LORD, I pray for our country as well. Through the ETERNAL LIVING WORD, OUR VERY LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, I pray that the HOLY SPIRIT will renew in them the very principles that this country was founded on as we look to our Day of Independence; for in this our country became great:

"I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds”, Amen.

A Flying Miracle
July 2, 2013

Among God’s creatures, the butterfly is one of the most stunningly beautiful! Its gentle flight, colorful wings, and amazing migratory patterns are traits that make the butterfly a masterpiece of the natural world.

This flying insect, while supplying us with visual enjoyment, also supplies us with amazing examples of the marvels of God’s creative work.

For instance, the majestic monarch butterfly can travel 3,000 miles on its migration to Central America—only to end up at the same tree its parents or even grandparents landed on a generation or two earlier. It does this guided by a brain the size of a pinhead.

Or consider the monarch’s metamorphosis. After the caterpillar builds a chrysalis around itself, it releases a chemical that turns its insides to mush—no perceptible parts. Somehow from this emerges the brain, internal parts, head, legs, and wings of a butterfly.

One butterfly expert said, “The creation of the body of a caterpillar into the body and wings of a butterfly is, without doubt, one of the wonders of life on earth.” Another expert feels that this metamorphosis is “rightly regarded as a miracle.”

“How manifold are [God’s] works!” (Ps. 104:24)—and the butterfly is but one of them.

We stand amazed, God, at the awesome creation You
allow us to enjoy. From distant galaxies to beautiful
butterflies, You have given us a world that speaks loudly
of Your love for us. Thank You, Lord, for creation.

Creation’s design points to the Master Designer.

Read: Psalm 104:10-24

O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions. —Psalm 104:24

Bible in a Year:
Job 22-24; Acts 11

AMEN.

Father, we also pray for the peace of Jerusalem today. As we petition You for the outpouring of Your Spirit on our Nation, we also put You in remembrance of Your Words of promise for Israel. All Israel shall be saved! Send laborers across the path of those whose hearts Your Spirit has prepared to receive. Give wisdom to her leaders and angelic protection of her borders. May Your laborers in Israel be fruitful in every good work and increase in the knowledge of You. Thank You, Sir, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
