God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? I have received a command to bless; he has blessed, and I cannot change it.
No misfortune is seen in Jacob, no misery observed in Israel. The LORD their God is with them; the shout of the King is among them. God brought them out of Egypt; they have the strength of a wild ox. There is no sorcery against Jacob, no divination against Israel. It will now be said of Jacob and of Israel, See what God has done! (Numbers 23:19-23)

Heavenly Father, we thank You for our warm homes in the coldness of winter, and for keeping us safe.
Lord, we pray for our military, that You would send them Your Word and Your Spirit.
God of heaven, You are not a man, that You should lie, nor a son of man, that You should change Your mind. When You speak, You act; when You promise, You fulfill. When You bless, no one can change it. You remove the misfortune of Your people and heal the misery of Your children. You, the LORD our God, are with us; the shout of the King is among us. As You brought Israel out of Egypt, so You brought us up out of our slavery to sin, to death, to fear. It will now be said of Your people, See what God has done! You have justified who can accuse? You have claimed us who can snatch us from Your hand? For all this we praise You, in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Approaching God
It used to bother me that the closer I drew to God in my walk with Him, the more sinful I felt. Then a phenomenon I observed in my room enlightened me. A tiny gap in the curtain covering my window threw a ray of light into the room. As I looked, I saw particles of dirt drifting in the beam. Without the ray of light, the room seemed clean, but the light revealed the dirty particles.
What I observed shed light on my spiritual life. The closer I approach the Lord of light, the clearer I see myself. When the light of Christ shines in the darkness of our lives, it exposes our sinnot to discourage us, but to humble us to trust in Him. We cant depend on our own righteousness, since we are sinners and fall short of Gods standards (Rom. 3:23). When we are proud, the light reveals our heart and we cry as Isaiah did, Woe to me! . . . For I am a man of unclean lips, . . . and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty (Isa. 6:5 niv).
God is absolutely perfect in every way. Approaching Him calls for humility and childlike trust, not self-importance and pride. For it is by grace that He draws us to Himself. It is good for us that we feel unworthy as we draw closer to God, for it humbles us to rely on Him alone.
Holy, Holy, Holy! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eyes of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holythere is none beside Thee,
Perfect in power, in love and purity. Heber
There is no room for pride when we walk with God.
: This passage recounts the call of Isaiah to a long and difficult prophetic ministry spanning the reigns of four kings (740681 bc). Isaiah was not the only one in Scripture who viewed himself as too sinful to be in Gods presence (6:5). Peter, when called to be an apostle, cried out, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord! (Luke 5:8). The tax collector in Luke 18:13 demonstrated a similar humility and recognition of personal sin.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR OUR AMERICAN HEROES AND FOR OUR BELOVED NATION!

Gen. George Washington and his Troops Marching To Valley Forge December 1775 |
GEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON THE PRAYER AT VALLEY FORGE
"Let Tyrants Shake Their Iron Rod" William Billings Mixed District Choir, Fairfax, Virginia (Click)
IN THE COLDEST and darkest days of the American Revolution, General George Washington raised his prayers for the survival of his beleaguered Army and of the new Nation. The Lord answered his prayers, upheld his Army through a punishing nadir to everlasting Glory, and bestowed His Manifold Blessings upon the new Nation.
Lafayette |
Steuben |
Pulaski |
FROM THE BRAVE, albeit weary, ill-equipped, and untrained volunteers who marched into Valley Forge on 19 December 1777 arose, with the help of some gallant friends from across the waves, the cohesive fighting force that became the United States Army, global defender of Freedom and scourge of Tyrants.
AS GENERAL WASHINGTON lifted his prayers on high in that bleak Winter, let our prayers now rise like a fountain for our Heroes in the American Armed Forces who seek to secure the benefits of Freedom on behalf of a people hungry for them. Father, look on our prayers for them with favor, guide their steps in righteousness and gather them in the shelter of Your Healing Wings. Bless and uphold them in the performance of their Mission. Through Jesus Christ, Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.

HEAVENLY FATHER, Lord of the Nations, unto Your Divine Mercy we commend the souls of these valiant men and women who have fallen in the service of our Beloved Nation and in defense of the Freedoms we hold dear. We pray that You gather them in Your Loving Embrace, that You cause Your Countenance to shine upon them, and that You vouchsafe their souls to dwell eternally in Your Divine Presence. Through Jesus Christ Your Son, with the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.
