LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.
I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. (Psalm 16:5-11)

Holy God, we thank You for the many kindnesses with which You bless our way.
Lord, we pray that You would encourage and strengthen the men and women of our military, and prosper them in their work.
Father, we pray that You would be with Israel and defend her against her enemies.
O Lord, our hearts are glad and our tongues rejoice; our bodies also will rest secure, because You will not abandon us to the grave. Just as You did not let Your Holy One see decay, and He came forth from the tomb, alive forever, so You will raise us to a new life. Because You live, we, too, will live. You have made known to us the path of life; You will fill us with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasure at Your right hand. LORD, You have assigned us our portion and our cup, and You have made our lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for us in pleasant places, and we surely have a delightful inheritance. We praise You, LORD, who gives to us so generously, in the Name of Jesus, Amen.

The Work Of Our Hands
July 26, 2014
Read: Isaiah 17:7-11
Spring had just turned into summer and crops were beginning to produce fruit as our train rolled across the fertile landscape of West Michigans shoreline. Strawberries had ripened, and people were kneeling in the morning dew to pick the sweet fruit. Blueberry bushes were soaking up sunshine from the sky and nutrients from the earth.
After passing field after field of ripening fruit, we came to a rusty pile of abandoned metal. The harsh image of orange scrap metal poking out of the earth was a sharp contrast to the soft greens of growing crops. The metal produces nothing. Fruit, on the other hand, grows, ripens, and nourishes hungry humans.
The contrast between the fruit and the metal reminds me of Gods prophecies against ancient cities like Damascus (Isa. 17:1,11). He says, Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, . . . the harvest will be a heap of ruins (Isa. 17:10-11). This prophecy serves as a contemporary warning about the danger and futility of thinking we can produce anything on our own. Apart from God, the work of our hands will become a pile of ruins. But when we join with God in the work of His hands, God multiplies our effort and provides spiritual nourishment for many.
Lord, I want to be a part of what You are
doing in Your world. Apart from You, my
work is nothing. Lead me, fill me, use
me. Nourish others through me.
>Without Me you can do nothing. Jesus (John 15:5)
At the time of Isaiahs prophecy, the Assyrians were a military threat to the region. The northern kingdom of Israel formed a military pact with Syria to fight the Assyrians. Because King Ahaz of Judah refused to join the alliance, Syria and Israel attacked Judah (2 Kings 16:5; Isa. 7:6). Isaiah had assured King Ahaz that God would protect and deliver Judah. But instead of trusting God for help and deliverance, Judah turned to the Assyrians for help and protection (2 Chron. 28:16-21; Isa. 7:1-12). Ahaz rejected God and turned to idols instead (2 Chron. 28:22-26). In Isaiah 17, the prophet pronounced judgment on Israel and Syria, warning that they would be defeated by the Assyrians (see also Isa. 7:17; 8:4).
