1) Judges 10, Judges 11, Judges 12

JUDGES 10

Tola

1 (Jdg 2:16) After the death of Abimelek, Tola the son of Puah, 
the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, 
in the hill country of Ephraim. 
2 He judged Israel for twenty-three years. 
Then he died and was buried in Shamir.

[1] And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah,
the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
[2] And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in
Shamir.

Jair

3 After him Jair the Gileadite arose and judged Israel for 22 years.
4 (Nu 32:41; Dt 3:14) He had thirty sons who rode thirty donkeys 
and owned thirty cities that are in the land of Gilead. 
They are called Havvoth Jair to this day. 
5 Jair died and was buried in Kamon.

[3] And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two
years.
[4] And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had
thirty cities, which are called Havoth-jair unto this day, which are in the
land of Gilead.
[5] And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.

Jephthah

6 (1Ki 11:5; 11:7) Again the children of Israel did evil in the sight 
of the Lord. They worshipped the Baals, the Ashtoreths, 
and the gods of Syria, Sidon, Moab, the Ammonites, and the Philistines. 
They abandoned the Lord and did not serve Him. 
7 (Jdg 2:14) The anger of the Lord burned against Israel, and He sold them
into the hands of the Philistines and the Ammonites.
8 They brutally oppressed the children of Israel that year. 
For eighteen years they oppressed all the children of Israel 
beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites in Gilead. 
9 The Ammonites also crossed over the Jordan to wage war 
against Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim, so that Israel was greatly distressed. 
10 (1Sa 12:10; Jdg 3:9) Then the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, 
"We have sinned against You, for we have abandoned
our God and worshipped the Baals."
11 (Ex 14:30; Nu 21:21-25) The Lord said to the children of Israel, 
"Did I not deliver you from Egypt, the Amorites, the Ammonites, 
the Philistines, 
12 (Jdg 6:3) the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites 
when they oppressed you? You cried out to Me, and I saved you from their hands.
13 (Jer 2:13; Dt 32:15) Yet you have abandoned Me and worshipped other gods. 
Therefore I will not save you again. 
14 (Dt 32:37-38) Go and cry out to the gods that you have chosen. 
Let them save you in your time of distress."
15 (1Sa 3:18; 2Sa 15:26) Then the children of Israel said to the Lord, 
"We have sinned. Do to us whatever seems good in Your sight. 
Please, just deliver us today."
16 (Isa 63:9; Ps 106:44-45) They removed the foreign gods from among them
and worshipped the Lord, and He could no longer endure 
the suffering of Israel.
17 (Jdg 11:29; Ge 31:49) The Ammonites had been called out 
and set up camp in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled and set up
 camp in Mizpah. 
18 (Jdg 11:11) The commanders of Gilead said to each other,
" Who is the man who will begin to fight against the Ammonites? 
He will be the ruler of all the inhabitants of Gilead."

[6] And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and
served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon,
and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of
the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.
[7] And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into
the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.
[8] And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen
years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the
land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
[9] Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against
Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that
Israel was sore distressed.
[10] And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned
against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.
[11] And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you
from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and
from the Philistines?
[12] The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress
you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.
[13] Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will
deliver you no more.
[14] Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in
the time of your tribulation.
[15] And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou
unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee,
this day.
[16] And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the
LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
[17] Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in
Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and
encamped in Mizpeh.
[18] And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is
he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head
over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

JUDGES 11

1 (Heb 11:32; Jdg 6:12) Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, 
but he was the son of a prostitute. Gilead was the father of Jephthah.
2 Gilead's wife also bore him sons. His wife's sons grew up and drove 
Jephthah away. They said to him, "You will not inherit anything 
from our father's house because you are the son of another woman."
3 (Jdg 9:4; 1Sa 22:2) So Jephthah fled from his brothers and lived 
in the land of Tob. Men of ill repute gathered around Jephthah 
and went out with him.
4 Some time passed, then the Ammonites waged war with Israel. 
5 When the Ammonites waged war with Israel, the elders of Gilead 
went to bring Jephthah back from the land of Tob. 
6 They said to Jephthah, "Come and be our leader so that we may 
fight the Ammonites."
7 (Ge 26:27) Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead,
"Did you not hate me and drive me out of my father's house? 
Why have you come to me now that you are in trouble?"
8 (Jdg 10:18) The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, 
"Even so, we have turned to you. Come with us and fight the Ammonites. 
You will be ruler over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
9 Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you bring me back to wage war
against the Ammonites, and the Lord gives them to me, 
then I will be your ruler."
10  (Jer 42:5; Ge 31:50) The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, 
"May the Lord be a witness between us 
if we do not act according to your word."
11 (Jdg 10:17; 20:1) So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead. 
The people set him over them as ruler and leader. 
And Jephthah spoke all his words before the Lord in Mizpah.
12 Jephthah sent messengers to the Ammonite king to say, 
"What problem is there between you and me, 
that you have come to me to wage war in my land?"
13 (Ge 32:22; Nu 21:24-26) The Ammonite king said to the messengers 
of Jephthah, "Because when Israel came up from Egypt, they took my land, 
from the Arnon to the Jabbok and as far as the Jordan. 
Now return it peacefully."
14 Again Jephthah sent messengers to the Ammonite king, 
15 (Dt 2:9; 2:19) and said to him,
"Jephthah says this: Israel did not take the land of Moab, 
nor the Ammonite land; 
16 (Nu 14:25; Dt 1:40_ for when Israel came up from Egypt,
they went into the desert as far as the Red Sea and came to Kadesh. 
17 (Nu 20:1; 20:14-21) Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, 
saying, 'Please let us pass through your land.' Yet the king of Edom would
not listen. They also sent messengers to the king of Moab, 
but he was unwilling. So Israel stayed at Kadesh.
18 (Nu 22:36; Dt 2:1-8) "They went into the wilderness, around the lands
of Edom and Moab. They went east of the land of Moab and set up camp 
on the other side of the River Arnon. They did not cross the boundary 
of Moab, for the River Arnon was the boundary of Moab.
19 "Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, 
who ruled in Heshbon. Israel said to him, 
"Please let us pass through your land to our home." 
20 Yet Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory, 
so Sihon gathered all his people and set up camp in Jahaz 
to fight with Israel.
21 "The Lord God of Israel gave Sihon and all his people 
into the hands of Israel, and they struck them down. So Israel took possession 
of all the land of the Amorites who lived in that land. 
22 (Dt 2:36) They took possession of all of the territory of the Amorites, 
from the Arnon to the Jabbok and from the desert to the Jordan.
23 "Now that the Lord God of Israel has driven out the Amorites 
from before His people Israel, should you take it? 
24 (Nu 21:29; 1Ki 11:7) Will you not take possession of whatever Chemosh 
your god gives you? So everything that the Lord our God possesses before us, 
we will take possession of it. 
25 (Mic 6:5) Now are you really better than Balak son of Zippor, 
the king of Moab? Did he ever contend with Israel or wage war with them? 
26 (Dt 2:36) Israel has lived in Heshbon and its nearby towns, in Aroer 
and its nearby towns, and in all the cities along the banks of the River Arnon 
for three hundred years. Why did you not take them back during that time? 
27 (Ge 16:5; 18:25) So I have not sinned against you, but it is you who are
doing evil to me by waging war against me. May the Lord, the Judge, 
judge today between the children of Israel and the Ammonites."
28 Yet the Ammonite king would not listen to the message 
that Jephthah had sent him.

Judges 11
[1] Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the
son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
[2] And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they
thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our
father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman.
[3] Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and
there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.
[4] And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made
war against Israel.
[5] And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel,
the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
[6] And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight
with the children of Ammon.
[7] And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and
expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye
are in distress?
[8] And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to
thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of
Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
[9] And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again
to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me,
shall I be your head?
[10] And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness
between us, if we do not so according to thy words.
[11] Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him
head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the
LORD in Mizpeh.
[12] And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon,
saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight
in my land?
[13] And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of
Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt,
from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those
lands again peaceably.
[14] And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of
Ammon:
[15] And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land
of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
[16] But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness
unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
[17] Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I
pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken
thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would
not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.
[18] Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of
Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab,
and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of
Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
[19] And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of
Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy
land into my place.
[20] But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon
gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against
Israel.
[21] And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the
hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the
Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
[22] And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto
Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.
[23] So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from
before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?
[24] Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to
possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them
will we possess.
[25] And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of
Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
[26] While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her
towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three
hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?
[27] Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to
war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of
Israel and the children of Ammon.
[28] Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words
of Jephthah which he sent him. 

Judges 11:29 - 40 

29 (Jdg 3:10; Nu 11:25) Then the Spirit of the Lord came on Jephthah
and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, and passed through 
Mizpah of Gilead, and went on to the Ammonites. 
30 (Ge 28:20; 1Sa 1:11) Jephthah made a vow to the Lord, "If You will indeed 
give the Ammonites into my hands, 
31 (1Sa 1:28) then whatever comes out from the door of my house 
to meet me, when I return safely from the Ammonites, will surely 
be the Lord's, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering."
32 So Jephthah crossed over to the Ammon­ites to wage war 
against them, and the Lord gave them into his hands. 
33 (Eze 27:17) He struck them down from Aroer to Minnith, twenty cities, 
and as far as Abel Keramim. The defeat was very severe, and the Ammonites
were humbled before the children of Israel.
34 (Ex 15:20; Jer 31:4) When Jephthah went to his house at Mizpah, there was 
his daughter coming out to meet him, dancing with a tambourine. 
She was his only child. Other than her, he had neither son nor daughter. 
35 When he saw her, he ripped up his clothes and said, "Alas, my daughter! 
You have brought utter disaster to me. You are my undoing, 
for I have given my word to the Lord, and I cannot take it back."
36 (2Sa 18:19) She said to him, "My father, you have opened 
your mouth to the Lord. Do to me what has come out of your mouth, 
because the Lord worked vengeance upon your enemies, the Ammonites."  
37 (Lk 1:25) Then she said to her father, "Let this be done for me: 
Give me two months, and I and my friends will wander the hill country 
and mourn over my virginity."
38 He said, "Go," and he sent her away for two months.
She and her friends went and mourned over her virginity in the hill country. 
39 (Jdg 11:31) At the end of two months she returned to her father, 
and he did to her according to the vow that he had made. 
She had not ever slept with a man.
So it became a custom in Israel 
40 that the women of Israel would commemorate the daughter 
of Jephthah the Gileadite for four days each year.

[29] Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over
Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of
Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.
[30] And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without
fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
[31] Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house
to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely
be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
[32] So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against
them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
[33] And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even
twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great
slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of
Israel.
[34] And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter
came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only
child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
[35] And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and
said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of
them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot
go back.
[36] And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto
the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth;
forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even
of the children of Ammon.
[37] And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me
alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail
my virginity, I and my fellows.
[38] And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with
her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
[39] And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto
her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and
she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
[40] That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of
Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.

JUDGES 12

Jephthah and Ephraim

1 (Jdg 8:1) The men of Ephraim gathered together and crossed over to Zaphon. 
They said to Jephthah,  "Why did you go to wage war with the Ammonites 
and not call us to go with you? We will burn down your house right on top 
of you."
2 Jephthah said to them, "My people and I were in a very great conflict
with the Ammonites. I called you, but you did not save me from their hands. 
3 (1Sa 19:5; 28:21) When I saw that you were not going to save me, I took my
life in my own hands and crossed over to the Ammonites. 
Then the Lord gave them into my hands. Now why have you come 
up to me today to wage war against me?"
4 (1Sa 25:10) Then Jephthah assembled all the men of Gilead and fought 
with Ephraim. The men of Gilead struck Ephraim down, for they had said, 
"You Gileadites are fugitives in Ephraim, living in Ephraim and Manasseh."
5 (Jdg 3:28; Jos 22:11) Gilead captured the fords of the Jordan River leading 
to Ephraim. Whenever an Ephraimite fugitive would say, "Let me cross,"
the Gileadite men would say to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he said, "No," 
6 then they would say to him, "Say, 'Shibboleth'!"  Yet he would say, 
"Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it correctly. Then they would 
grab him and kill him at the Jordan fords. 
During that time 42000 from Ephraim fell.
7 Jephthah judged Israel for six years. When Jephthah the Gileadite died, 
he was buried among the cities of Gilead.

[1] And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward,
and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the
children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine
house upon thee with fire.
[2] And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with
the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of
their hands.
[3] And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and
passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into
my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against
me?
[4] Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with
Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye
Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the
Manassites.
[5] And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites:
and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me
go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he
said, Nay;
[6] Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for
he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him
at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites
forty and two thousand.
[7] And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite,
and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead. 

Ibzan, Elon, and Abdon

8 After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel. 
9 He had thirty sons, and he gave thirty daughters 
in marriage outside his clan; 
and he brought thirty daughters from outside for his sons.
 He judged Israel for seven years. 
10 Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
11 After him, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel. 
He judged Israel for ten years. 
12 Elon the Zebulunite died and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
13 After him, Abdon son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel. 
14 (Jdg 5:10; 10:4) He had forty sons and thirty grandsons 
who rode seventy donkeys. He judged Israel for eight years. 
15 (Jdg 5:14) Abdon son of Hillel the Pirathonite died 
and was buried in Pirathon 
in the land of Ephraim, in the Amalekite hill country.

[8] And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
[9] And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and
took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel
seven years.
[10] Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.
[11] And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel
ten years.
[12] And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country
of Zebulun.
[13] And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
[14] And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and
ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
[15] And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in
Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.

 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

The Lord's Supper
Mt 26:26-29; Mk 14:22-25; Lk 22:14-20

23 (1Co 15:3; Mt 26:26-28; Mk 14:22-24) I have received of the Lord that
which I delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which
He was betrayed, took bread.
24 When He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take and eat.
This is My body which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me."
(Mt 26:26; Mk 14:22; Lk 22:19.)
25 (Lk 22:20; 2Co 3:6) In the same manner He took the cup after He had
supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood.
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."
(Mt 26:27-28; Mk 14:24; Lk 22:20.)
26 (Jn 21:22; 1Co 4:5) As often as you eat this bread and drink this cup,
you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.

[23] For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you,
That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
[24] And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is
my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
[25] After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,
This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink
it, in remembrance of me.
[26] For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the
Lord's death till he come.

When I broke my upper arm, my friend Rex surprised me by shipping a care box 
of frozen soups with a beautiful, silver ladle. I was deeply touched and kept 
the ladle long after consuming the soup. My arm has healed and dear Rex has 
since passed away, but his gesture of love continues to express God's love 
for me. Every time I lift the ladle, I thank God for His love to me through 
my friend.

Jesus gave us a tangible gift in the celebration of Communion to help us 
remember His incomparable love for us (Luke 22:19). The apostle Paul reminded 
the Corinthians how Jesus broke bread, saying, "This is my body, which is for 
you; do this in remembrance of me" (1 Corinthians 11:24). Then Christ "took 
the cup, saying, 'The cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever 
you drink it, in remembrance of me'" (v. 25). God's lavish love is remembered 
again and again as we take the bread and lift the cup as believers in Christ.

Rex showed his love through the tangible gift of a care box, leaving a ladle 
to remind me month after month. Jesus loved us in the life-altering gift of 
His body sacrificed on the cross for our sins. He left us the practice 
of Communion to remind us of His unchanging love.

Reflect & Pray

When do you celebrate Communion (the Lord's Supper)? How might your 
celebration of it become more meaningful as you remember God's love 
for you through this practice?

Dear God, thank You for loving me so 
sacrificially and for leaving the tangible practice of Communion 
to remind me again and again of Your love.

Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 5 Called by Name

Isaiah 43:1

1 But now, thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob,
and He who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob,
and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not:
for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

Eric, age 4, somehow lost his mother in a large and busy department store.
Found sobbing under a coat rack, the boy tried to tell the security guard
where he was when he got separated from his mother. Finally the guard said,
"what's your name, Son? Who do you belong to?"
The child brightened a bit, gave the guard his name, and within minutes
the frantic mother was reunited with her lost son.
One of the first questions we are asked, both as children and adults, is
"What is your name?" - that is, "Who are you? Who do you belong to?"
Children bear the name of their parents, and most women,
except for professional reasons,
take the name of their husbands when they marry.
Our names are our primary method of identification;
they connect us with our heritage and those we love.
In Isaiah 43:1, God declares that we belong to him.
The Lord who created us and formed us says,
"I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine." God's
right of ownership in our lives extends beyond the bond of family and friends,
of parent, child, or spouse. We belong first to him;
we are called by him into oneness with him.
The Scripture is filled with images of the Lord's care for us;
when we are lost, he does
not wait for us to find him,
but takes the initiative, like a loving parent
to seek us out. That declaration of belonging can give us
a strong sense of security in our lives. God loves us;
he will never let us go.

Application

a) What experiences have I had of being lost of abandoned?

b) How can today's verse help me find security in belonging to God?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Matthew 6:19-21

Treasures in Heaven

Lk 12:33-34

19 (Heb 13:5; Lk 12:21) "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth
where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
20 (Lk 12:33; Mt 19:21) But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust destroy
and where thieves do not break in nor steal,
21 (Lk 12:34) for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

God's Eternal Faithfulness

2 Tim 2:8-13

8 (Mt 1:1; Ro 2:16) Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead,
descended from David, according to my gospel,
9 (Php 1:7; 2Ti 1:8) in which I suffer trouble like a criminal,
even with chains. But the word of God is not bound.
10 (Col 1:24; 2Co 1:6; 4:17) Therefore I endure all things
for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain
the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 (Ro 6:8; 1Th 5:10) This is a faithful saying:
If we die with Him, we shall also live with Him.
12 (Mt 10:33; Ro 8:17 ) If we endure, we shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him, He also will deny us.
13 (Nu 23:19; Ro 3:3 )If we are faithless,
He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead
according to my gospel:
9 wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of
God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also
obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him,
we shall also live with him:
12 if we suffer, we shall also reign with him:
if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer 

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 
11 Give us this day our daily bread. 
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.


6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)

Manitoba

Quick facts on Muslims in Manitoba

Manitoba 2015 population  1 282 000

est Muslim Population      21 349

CNMM Networks: Winnipeg

The Muslim population of Manitoba, understandably centred in Winnipeg, is very
diverse and represents some 48 different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. 
Conservative estimates put their number at 21000 , with some suggesting 
it might be twice that size.
Some outreach among Muslims has started, yet in comparison to the size 
of this community, there is the need and opportunity for far more engagement.
Continued influx of new immigrants and refugees continues to see the growth
of this Muslim centre in Manitoba. 
We rejoice in the Arabic fellowship meeting there and the energetic workers
among Muslims in Winnipeg.

Let us intercede in unity for:

- new Christian workers among Manitoba's growing Muslim population
- new church ministries focused on prayer, equipping and reaching Muslim 
  communities around them, as well as training new workers
- the Arabic fellowship and their ministries of discipling new Muslim
  background believers and for effectiveness in outreach
- for the recent Somali woman who found faith  in Jesus and stood her ground
  in the face of opposition to her new faith.
- for current workers among Muslims to be blessed, refreshed and encouraged
   with great support

Adding further

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020 

Under the Keep Praying page

When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid  celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that 
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you 
know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 :  17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; 
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants 
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. 
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below: 
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.  20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes
	Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15  : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under 
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the 
house."

Ideas for prayer

- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people - 
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims 
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days! 


My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
