JUDGES 1

Israel Fights Remaining Canaanites

1 (Nu 27:21; Jdg 20:18) After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel 
inquired of the Lord, "Who should go up against the Canaanites first, 
in order to wage war against them?"
2 The Lord said, "Judah shall go up. 
Indeed, I have given the land into their hands."
3 (Jdg 1:17) Then the men of Judah said to Simeon,
their brothers, "Come up with us into our allotted territory. 
We will wage war against the Canaanites. Likewise we will go 
with you into your allotted territory." So Simeon went with them.
4 (1 Sa 11:8) Then Judah went up, and the Lord gave the Canaanites 
and Perizzites into their hands. They struck down ten thousand men in Bezek.
5 They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek and fought against him. 
They struck down the Canaanites and Perizzites. 
6 Yet Adoni-Bezek fled, and they chased after him, seized him, 
and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7 (1Sa 15:33) Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings whose thumbs 
and big toes were cut off once collected scraps of food 
under my table. Just as I have done, so God has repaid me." 
They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 (Jos 15:63; Jdg 1:21) Then Judah waged war against Jerusalem. 
They captured it, struck it with the edge of the sword, 
and sent the city up in flames.
9 Afterwards, Judah went down to wage war against the Canaanites 
living in the hill country, the Negev, and the lowlands. 
10 (Nu 13:22; Jos 14:15) Judah went against the Canaanites living 
in Hebron (previously the name of Hebron was Kiriath Arba) 
and they struck down Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai. 
11 (Jos 15:15) From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir 
(previously the name of Debir was Kiriath Sepher).
12 Caleb said, "He who attacks Kiriath Sepher and takes it, 
I will give him my daughter Aksah as wife."  
13 (Jdg 3:9) Othniel son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb, 
captured it. So Caleb gave him Aksah his daughter in marriage.
14 When she came to Othniel, she urged him to ask her father 
for a field. As she dismounted from her donkey, Caleb said to her, 
"What can I do for you?"
15 She answered, "Please give me a special gift. 
Since you have given me land in the Negev, now give me springs of water."
So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
16 (Nu 10:29-32; 21:1; Dt 34:3) The descendants of Moses' father-in-law,
the Kenite, went up with the descendants of Judah from the City of Palms
to the Negev near Arad. Then they went and lived with the people.
17 (Nu 21:3) But Judah went with his brother Simeon 
and struck down the Canaanites living in Zephath and utterly destroyed it. 
So now they call the city Hormah. 
18 (Jos 11:22; Jdg 3:3) Then Judah captured Gaza, Ashkelon, Ekron, 
and the territory belonging to each of these cities.
19 (Jdg 1:2) The Lord was with Judah, and they took the hill country 
but could not drive out the inhabitants of the coastal plain, 
for they had iron chariots. 
20 (Jdg 1:10; Jos 15:13-14) They gave Hebron to Caleb, 
as Moses had said, and he drove out the three sons of Anak. 
21 (Jos 15:63) However, the tribe of Benjamin did not drive out
the Jebusites living in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites live 
with the tribe of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22 (Jdg 1:19) The descendants of Joseph went up against Bethel, 
and the Lord was with them. 
23 (Ge 28:19; 35:6) The descendants of Joseph sent spies into Bethel
(the former name of the city was Luz). 
24 The spies saw a man coming out of the city and said to him, 
"Please show us the entrance to the city, and we will deal kindly with you."
25 So he showed them an entrance to the city. They struck the city with the
edge of the sword, but they let the man and his extended family go. 
26 The man went to the land of the Hittites. He built a city 
and named it Luz, and that is its name to this day.
27 (Jos 17:11-13) Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants 
of Beth Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, Megiddo, or their daughter villages,
for the Canaanites were determined to live in that land.
28 When the children of Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites 
to hard labor as slaves, but they did not actually drive them out. 
29 (Jos 16:10; 1Ki 9:16) Ephraim did not drive out the inhabitants 
of Gezer, so the Canaanites lived among them in Gezer. 
30 (Jos 19:15) Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron 
and Nahalol, so the Canaanites lived among them and became 
slave laborers.
 31 (Jos 19:24-30) Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Akko,
Sidon, Ahlab, Akzib, Helbah, Aphek, or Rehob.
32 Asher lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, 
for they did not drive them out. 
33 (Jos 19:32-38) Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh
or Beth Anath, so they live among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land. 
The Canaanites of Beth Shemesh and Beth Anath became slave laborers for them. 
34 (Jos 19:47) The Amorites pushed the tribe of Dan into the hill country,
for they would not let them come down to the coastal plain.  
35 (Jos 19:42) The Amorites were determined to live in Mount Heres, Aijalon, 
and Shaalbim, but the hand of the descendants of Joseph was heavy on them,
and they became slave laborers.  
36 (Nu 34:4) The border of the Amorites was from the Ascent of Akrabbim
to Sela and beyond.

Judges 1
[1] Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of
Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites
first, to fight against them?
[2] And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land
into his hand.
[3] And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot,
that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee
into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
[4] And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the
Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
[5] And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and
they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
[6] But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and
cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
[7] And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and
their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have
done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there
he died.
[8] Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken
it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
[9] And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the
Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
[10] And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the
name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman,
and Talmai.
[11] And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name
of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher:
[12] And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him
will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
[13] And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he
gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
[14] And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of
her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto
her, What wilt thou?
[15] And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a
south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper
springs and the nether springs.
[16] And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went up out of
the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of
Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the
people.
[17] And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites
that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city
was called Hormah.
[18] Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast
thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.
[19] And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the
mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because
they had chariots of iron.
[20] And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence
the three sons of Anak.
[21] And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that
inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin
in Jerusalem unto this day.
[22] And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD
was with them.
[23] And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the
city before was Luz.)
[24] And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto
him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will shew
thee mercy.
[25] And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city
with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.
[26] And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and
called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto this day.
[27] Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and her
towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns,
nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo
and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
[28] And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the
Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.
[29] Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but
the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
[30] Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the
inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became
tributaries.
[31] Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the
inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of
Aphik, nor of Rehob:
[32] But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the
land: for they did not drive them out.
[33] Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the
inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the
inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of
Beth-anath became tributaries unto them.
[34] And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they
would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
[35] But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in
Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became
tributaries.
[36] And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from
the rock, and upward.

JUDGES 2

The Angel of the Lord at Bokim

1 (Ge 17:7-8; Ex 20:2) The angelAt times the Lord speaks directly through 
an angel (cf. the story of the burning bush in Ex 3:2-4). of the Lord went up 
from Gilgal to Bokim and said, "I brought you up from Egypt and brought
you into the land that I promised your fathers. I said, 'I will never break 
My covenant with you, 
2 (Dt 7:2-4) but you must not make a pact with the inhabitants of this land, 
and you must tear down their altars.' Yet you have not obeyed Me. 
What is this you have done?
 3 (Nu 33:55; Jos 23:13; Dt 7:16) So now I say, 'I will not drive them out 
before you. They will be thorns in your sides, and their gods will 
be a snare to you.' "
4 When the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, 
the people raised their voices and wept aloud.
5 They named that place Bokim and sacrificed to the Lord there.

[1] And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made
you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware
unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
[2] And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall
throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done
this?
[3] Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but
they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto
you.
[4] And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto
all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
[5] And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there
unto the LORD.

The Death of Joshua

6 (Jos 24:28-31) When Joshua dismissed the people, 
each Israelite went to his inheritance to possess the land. 
7 (Jos 24:31) So the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, 
and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen 
all the great works that the Lord had done for Israel.
8 Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110 . 
9 (Jos 19:50) They buried him in the territory of his inheritance
 in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
10 (Ex 5:2; 1Sa 2:12) That entire generation passed away, 
and after them grew up a generation who did not know the Lord 
or the deeds that He had done for Israel.

[6] And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every
man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
[7] And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days
of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the
LORD, that he did for Israel.
[8] And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an
hundred and ten years old.
[9] And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres,
in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
[10] And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and
there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet
the works which he had done for Israel.

Israel's Unfaithfulness

11 (Jdg 3:7; 4:1) The children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord
and served the Baals. 
12 (Ex 20:5) They abandoned the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them 
out of the land of Egypt. They followed after other gods,
the gods of the peoples around them. They worshipped them
 and provoked the Lord to anger. 
13 (Jdg 10:6; 3:7) They abandoned the Lord and served Baal and the Ashtoreths. 
14 (Dt 32:30; Lev 26:37) The anger of the Lord burned against Israel, 
and He gave them into the hands of those who plundered them;
and He sold them into the hands of their enemies around them, 
so that they were no longer able to stand against their enemies. 
15 (Dt 28:15-68) Whenever they marched out, the hand of the Lord 
was against them to bring disaster, as the Lord had said 
and as He had sworn to them. They were in great distress.
16 (Ac 13:20; Jdg 3:15) Then the Lord raised up judges who delivered
them from the hand of those who plundered them. 
17 (Jdg 2:7; Dt 9:12) Yet they would not listen to their judges, 
for they prostituted themselves to other gods and worshipped them. 
They quickly turned aside from the path their fathers had walked, 
who had obeyed the commandments of the Lord. 
They did not do as their fathers had done. 
18 (Dt 32:36; Jos 1:5) When the Lord raised up judges for them, 
the Lord was with the judge and delivered them from the hand of their enemies
all the days of the judge; for their groaning before their oppressors
and tormentors grieved the Lord. 
19 (Jdg 4:1; 8:33) When the judge died, the people turned back 
and acted more wickedly than their fathers, pursuing other gods 
to serve and worship them. They would not give up their practices 
and obstinate ways.
20 (Jdg 2:14; Jos 23:16) The anger of the Lord burned against Israel,
and He said,  "Because this nation has violated My covenant that 
I commanded their fathers and has not heeded My voice, 
21 (Jos 23:13; Jdg 2:3) I will no longer drive out from before them any 
of the nations that Joshua left when he died, 
22 (Dt 8:2; 8:16; 13:3) so that through them I may test Israel 
and see whether or not they will keep the ways of the Lord, 
to walk in them as their fathers did." 
23 So the Lord left those nations, not hurrying to drive them out; 
and He did not deliver them into the hand of Joshua.

[11] And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and
served Baalim:
[12] And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out
of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people
that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the
LORD to anger.
[13] And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
[14] And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them
into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the
hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand
before their enemies.
[15] Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for
evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they
were greatly distressed.
[16] Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the
hand of those that spoiled them.
[17] And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a
whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned
quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the
commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
[18] And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the
judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of
the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of
them that oppressed them and vexed them.
[19] And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and
corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to
serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own
doings, nor from their stubborn way.
[20] And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because
that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their
fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
[21] I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the
nations which Joshua left when he died:
[22] That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of
the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
[23] Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out
hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

Deuteronomy 31:1-6

Joshua to Succeed Moses

1 Then Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.
2 (Dt 34:7; Nu 27:17; 1Ki 3:7) He said to them,
"I am 120 old today. I can no longer come and go.
Also, the Lord has said to me, 'You may not cross over the Jordan.'
3 (Dt 9:3; 3:28) The Lord your God will cross over before you.
He will destroy these nations before you, you will possess them,
and Joshua will cross over before you, just as the Lord has said.
4 (Dt 2:33) The Lord will do to them as He did to Sihon and to Og,
the kings of the Amo­rites, and to their land, which He destroyed.
5 (Dt 7:2) The Lord will give them up before you, so that you may
do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.
6 (Jos 10:25; 1Ch 22:13) Be strong and of a good courage. Fear not,
nor be afraid of them, for the Lord your God, it is He who goes with you.
He will not fail you, nor forsake you."

[1] And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
[2] And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I
can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt
not go over this Jordan.
[3] The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these
nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall
go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.
[4] And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of
the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.
[5] And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto
them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.
[6] Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for
the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee,
nor forsake thee. 

The US Department of Transportation reported that in 2021, US airlines 
mishandled two million bags. Thankfully, many pieces were delayed or lost for 
only a short period. Thousands of bags were lost for good, however. No wonder 
there's a surging market for GPS devices that attach to gear, allowing you to
track bags when airlines have given up. We're all afraid that those in charge 
can't be trusted to keep track of what's important.

Israel had a similar fear about God, only they feared that He was going to 
lose them. As the people prepared to enter their new homeland, Moses shared 
the unsettling news that he wouldn't be guiding them. He explained that he 
was old and "no longer able to lead [them]" (Deuteronomy 31:2). The people 
were likely stunned. Moses represented God's presence and offered His words. 
Would God forget about them now? Would He lose them in this wilderness?

"Do not be afraid or terrified," Moses said, "for the Lord your God goes with 
you; he will never leave you nor forsake you" (v. 6). He promised that God 
would always be with them and assured them that He'd never ever lose them. 
And in the person of Jesus, God makes us this same steady, unbreakable 
promise. Christ will be with us "to the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). 
God will never lose us. Never.

Reflect & Pray

When have you feared God had lost you? 
How has He shown you that He never forgets you?

Dear God, I often fear that I'm out of Your sight and mind. 
Please help me to trust that You hold me and will never lose me.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 7 - Upheld by His Hand

Is 41:10

10 (Jos 1:9; Isa 41:13-14) Do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you,
yes, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God:
I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;
yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Beth had the same recurring nightmare: she was running along a cliff,
then she slipped, and fell headlong, into a bottomless ravine.
Falling, without control, without end, falling, falling, falling...
Beth's dream may be one many of us identify with. The sense
of losing control can be nightmarish, and we may fear falling
without end, without remedy. Financial failure may be the chasm
that we face, or professional disgrace. Personal relationships
may go out of control, and we look into a never-ending
ravine of pain and misunderstanding
But God says, "Don't be afraid; I am holding you up."
Like the father who helps his child learn to swim,
God holds us above the water. We may not feel his hands;
indeed, we may suspect that he lets us go just so we can
do it on our own. But he promises that he doesn't let go.
"I am with you." he declares. "I give you strength
and hold you up."
God's promise never to let go takes on new meaning
in a world where relationships are temporary and life is
uncertain. We do not need to fear, for he is with us.
We can relax and stop striving, for he is our God.
His strength becomes ours; amid all our sin and rebellion,
he undergirds us with his righteousness. We cannot fall,
for he holds us firm.

Application

a) Under what circumstances have I felt myself "falling"?

b) How does God's promise in Is 41:10 help me to have faith
in the midst of my fears? 



4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland

Joshua 1:8

8 (Ps 19:14; 119:15) This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth.
Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all
that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful,
and you will be wise.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt
meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according
to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.

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

When you are discouraged or Depressed

Matthew 11:25-30

25 (Ps 8:2; Jn 11:41) At that time Jesus said, "I thank You, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things
from the wise and prudent and revealed them to infants.
26 Even so, Father, for it seemed good in Your sight.
27 (Jn 10:15; Mt 28:18; Jn 1:18) "All things are delivered to Me
by My Father, and no one knows the Son, except the Father.
And no one knows the Father, except the Son and he to whom
the Son will reveal Him.
28 (Jn 7:37; 6:37) "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavily
burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 (Jer 6:16; Jn 13:15) Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me.
For I am meek and lowly in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.(Jer 6:16).
30 (1Jn 5:3) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."
because He has dealt bountifully with me.

The Hidden Revelation
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,
Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father,
save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek
and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

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.

Saskatchewan

Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan 2015 population  1125400

est Muslim Population       17279

CNMM Networks: Saskatoon

Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past
5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have 
focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts
of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres
of worship and an Islamic madrassah (school) located right next to a 
Christian school.
Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up
in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young
women who were wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded. 
Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to Islam.

Agree in prayer with us for:
- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart
and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing
Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.
- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the 
  spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into
  converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation. 
- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more
  to be raised up into effective witness.
- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon 
  to spread and grow to other cities.

Pray for Miracles in Gaza</a>

Rasim, his wife Yasmin, and their five children were asleep in their home in
Gaza when the bombing began. The night sky lit up with explosions. Suddenly, 
their home was struck and collapsed upon them. The family was buried under 
heaps of concrete and debris. Darkness enveloped them, 
and the air was thick with dust.

Despite being trapped under the rubble, they found that there was a little 
space around them which allowed them to breathe. The children’s desperate 
sobbing and fear drove Yasmin to pray for a miracle. But the endless minutes 
turned into hours. Time seemed unending and dark. 
Five days and five nights went by.

Finally, they heard noises. Beams of light pierced through the darkness; 
rescuers slowly and carefully cleared the way. Hands pulled Rasim, Yasmin, 
and their children out – one by one – covered in dust, with bruises 
and scratches, but alive. Everybody was in awe. How could they be still 
alive after such a long time under the ruins?
 
Yasmin beamed with grateful tears in her eyes, when she shared their 
miraculous story. "A man in a shining white gown came a few times to us 
and brought water and food. I asked him for his name, and the stranger 
replied: "I am Isa al Masih!"

The family had been devout Muslims and had never before been in contact 
with any Christians. But now, together with others in Gaza, they have 
found hope and life in their faith in Jesus.

How to Pray

Pray enduring, lasting peace between Palestinians and Israelis.

Pray for the traumatised people of Gaza: that they will be comforted.

Ask God for peaceful political solutions 
that bring an end both to war and terror.

Pray for more Palestinians to hear and believe 
the Good News of Jesus, and to be comforted 
by God in times of distress and grief.

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, ...) .

Day 29 of the Month

a) Pray that God will enlighten those in medicine and health care
to acknowledge the sanctity of life and server with true
integrity and compassion (

Ps 139:13-16

13 You brought my inner parts into being;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise you, for You made me with fear and wonder;
marvelous are Your works,
and You know me completely.
15 My frame was not hidden from You
when I was made in secret,
and intricately put together in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw me unformed,
yet in Your book
all my days were written,
before any of them came into being.

13 For thou hast possessed my reins:
Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance was not hid from thee,
When I was made in secret, and curiously wrought 
in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;
And in thy book all my members were written,
Which in continuance were fashioned,
When as yet there was none of them.

)

b) Pray that the Church in Canada will remember the poor
and compassionately respond to their plight (

the same which I also was forward to do.
