Job 6:8-10 NIV
[8] “Oh, that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for, [9] that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut off my life! [10] Then I would still have this consolation— my joy in unrelenting pain— that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.

Ezra 3:3 NIV
[3] Despite their fear of the peoples around them, they built the altar on its foundation and sacrificed burnt offerings on it to the Lord, both the morning and evening sacrifices.

[17] You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’ ”

- When the battles of life come against us, may we be strong in Jesus and turn to face them. The armies of Israel went out singing 'Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.' God provides victories!

[22] “When anyone wrongs their neighbor and is required to take an oath and they come and swear the oath before your altar in this temple, [23] then hear from heaven and act.

[22] You made your people Israel your very own forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.

A scripture for today is:
‭2 Kings 4:1-7 NIV‬
[1] The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.” [2] Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.” [3] Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. [4] Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.” [5] She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. [6] When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing. [7] She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.”

-May we praise God for his provisions for deliverance.

Good morning, a scripture for today is:
‭1 Kings 20:28 NIV‬
[28] The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Because the Arameans think the Lord is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the Lord.’ ”

-God still delivers us from large enemies. We have to be willing to lay down pride, listen and obey his direction.

A scripture for today is:
‭1 Kings 14:22-24 NIV‬
[22] Judah did evil in the eyes of the Lord. By the sins they committed they stirred up his jealous anger more than those who were before them had done. [23] They also set up for themselves high places, sacred stones and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every spreading tree. [24] There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land; the people engaged in all the detestable practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites.

-America and the World has been engaged in detestable practices for years. May we continue to pray against these things. Through Christ there is freedom
