Day 105, 13 April 2025 Happy Palm Sunday 1 SAMUEL 23 David Saves Keilah 1 (Jos 15:44; Ne 3:17-18) Then they told David, "Listen, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are looting the threshing floors." 2 (1Sa 23:4; 2Sa 5:19) Therefore David inquired of the Lord, saying, "Shall I go and attack these Philistines?" And the Lord said to David, "Go and attack the Philistines, and rescue Keilah." 3 The men of David said to him, "We are afraid here in Judah. How much more then, if we go down to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?" 4 (Jdg 7:7; Jos 8:7) Then David again inquired of the Lord. And the Lord answered him and said, "Arise, go down to Keilah because I am giving the Philistines into your hand." 5 Then David and his men went to Keilah. He fought with the Philistines and carried off their livestock, and he struck them with a great slaughter. So David rescued the inhabitants of Keilah. 6 (1Sa 22:20) When Abiathar the son of Ahimelek fled to David at Keilah, he came down with the ephod in his hand. [1] Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors. [2] Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah. [3] And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines? [4] Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand. [5] So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah. [6] And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand. Saul Pursues David 7 It was reported to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, "God has delivered him into my hand. For he is shut in, by entering into a town that has gates and bars." 8 Then Saul summoned all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men. 9 (1Sa 30:7; 23:6) David found out that Saul was planning evil against him. So he said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod near." 10 And David said, "O Lord, God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city on account of me. 11 Will the leaders of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O Lord, God of Israel, please tell Your servant." And the Lord said, "He will come down." 12 (1Sa 23:20) Then said David, "Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?" And the Lord said, "They will deliver you." [7] And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars. [8] And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. [9] And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod. [10] Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake. [11] Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down. [12] Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up. 1 SAMUEL 23 13 (1Sa 22:2; 25:13) So David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and left Keilah. And they went wherever they could go. Now it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah. So he halted the expedition. 14 (Ps 54:3-4; Jos 15:24) And David remained in the wilderness in strongholds, and dwelled in mountains in the Wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand. 15 Now David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the Wilderness of Ziph in Horesh. 16 (Ne 2:18) Jonathan, the son of Saul, arose and went to David at Horesh. And he strengthened his hand in God. 17 (1Sa 20:31; 24:20) He said to him, "Do not fear, for the hand of Saul my father will not find you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be next to you. Saul my father knows this." 18 (1Sa 18:3; 20:42) The two of them made a covenant before the Lord. And David stayed in Horesh, but Jonathan went to his house. 19 (1Sa 26:1; 26:3; Ps 54:1–7) Then the Ziphites went up to Saul to Gibeah saying, "Is David not hiding himself with us in strongholds in Horesh, on the hill of Hakilah, which is south of Jeshimon? 20 (1Sa 23:12) Now, O king, come down according to all the desire of your soul to come down. And our part will be to deliver him into the king's hand." 21 (1Sa 22:8) Saul said, "Blessed are you of the Lord. For you have had compassion on me. 22 Please go, make sure again. Investigate and see the place where his foot rests, and who has seen him there. For it has been said to me that he is very cunning. 23 So look and learn about all the hiding places where he hides himself. And come to me with certainty, and I will go with you. And it will be that if he is in the land, then I will track him throughout all the clans of Judah." 24 (Jos 15:55; 1Sa 25:2) So they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon, in the desert south of Jeshimon. 25 Saul and his men went to seek him, but they told David. Therefore he came down to the Rock, and lived in the Wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the Wilderness of Maon. 26 (Ps 17:9) Saul went on this side of the mountain and David and his men on that side of the mountain. And David hurried to get away from Saul. Now Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them. 27 (2Ki 19:9) But a messenger came to Saul saying, "Hurry and go! For the Philistines have invaded the land." 28 So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and he went against the Philistines. Therefore they called that place the Rock of Escape. 29 (2Ch 20:2; Jos 15:62)David then went up from there and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi. [13] Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth. [14] And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand. [15] And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood. [16] And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God. [17] And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth. [18] And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house. [19] Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon? [20] Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand. [21] And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me. [22] Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he dealeth very subtilly. [23] See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah. [24] And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon. [25] Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David: wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. [26] And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them. [27] But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land. [28] Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth. [29] And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at En-gedi. PSALMS 54 For the Music Director. With stringed instruments. A Contemplative Maskil of David, when the Ziphites went and told Saul, "Is David not hiding among us?" 1 O God, save me by Your name, and judge me by Your strength. 2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. 3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) For strangers rise up against me, and formidable adversaries seek my life; they do not set God before them. Selah 4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) God is my helper; the Lord is with those who support my life. 5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) He will repay my enemies for their evil. In Your faithfulness, destroy them. 6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) I will sacrifice a freewill offering to You; I will give thanks to Your name, O Lord, for it is good. 7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) For He has delivered me out of all trouble; and my eye has looked down on my enemies. Psalm 54 [1] Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. [2] Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. [3] For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah. [4] Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. [5] He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth. [6] I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for it is good. [7] For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies. 1 SAMUEL 24 David Spares Saul's Life 1 (1Sa 23:28-29; 23:19) When Saul had returned from following the Philistines, it was reported to him, saying, "David is in the Wilderness of En Gedi." 2 (1Sa 26:2) Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel and went to seek David and his men in front of the rocks of the wild goats. 3 (Jdg 3:24; Ps 57:1-11) He came to the sheep pens by the way and a cave was there. And Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the rear of the cave. 4 The men of David said to him, "This is the day of which the Lord said to you, 'I am giving your enemy into your hand. You may do with him as seems good in your eyes.'" Then David arose and secretly cut off the corner of Saul's robe. 5 (2Sa 24:10) Afterward David's heart troubled him because he had cut off a corner of Saul's robe. 6 He said to his men, "The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, the Lord's anointed, to stretch out my hand against him. For he is anointed of the Lord." 7 (Ps 7:4) So David dispersed his men by these words and did not let them rise against Saul. And Saul arose from the cave and went on his way. 8 (1Sa 25:23–24) David arose afterward and went out from the cave. And he called after Saul saying, "My lord the king!" And when Saul looked behind him, David had bowed down with his face to the ground and paid homage. 9 David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to the words of men saying, 'David seeks your harm'? 10 (1Sa 24:4) This day you have seen with your own eyes that the Lord delivered you today into my hand in the cave. So that some said to kill you, but my eye had compassion on you. And I said, 'I will not put forth my hand against my lord, for he is anointed of the Lord.' 11 (1Sa 26:20; 23:14) See, my father! Look at the corner of your robe in my hand. Indeed, I cut off the corner of your robe, but I did not kill you. Observe and see that there is no evil or rebellion in my hand. I have not sinned against you, but you are lying in wait for my life to take it. 12 (Ge 16:5; Jdg 11:27) The Lord will judge between me and you, and the Lord will avenge me on you, but my hand will not be against you. 13 (Mt 7:16-18) As the proverb of the ancients says, 'From the wicked comes forth wickedness,' but my hand will not be against you. 14 (1Sa 26:20; 17:43) "After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom are you pursuing? After a dead dog? A single flea? 15 (1Sa 24:12; Ps 35:1) May the Lord be judge, and decide between me and you. And may He see and plead my case, and deliver me out of your hand." 16 (1Sa 26:17) When David finished speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" And Saul lifted up his voice and wept. 17 (1Sa 26:21; Mt 5:44) And he said to David, "You are more righteous than I. For you have rewarded me with good, while I have rewarded you with evil. 18 (1Sa 26:23) And you have shown today that you have dealt well with me, when the Lord delivered me into your hand and you did not kill me. 19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him safely go away? Therefore may the Lord reward you well for what you have done for me this day. 20 (1Sa 23:17) Now, listen, I know that you will surely be king and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand. 21 (Ge 21:23; 2Sa 21:6-8) Therefore swear to me now by the Lord that you will not cut off my descendants after me and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's household." 22 (1Sa 23:29) So David swore to Saul and Saul went home. But David and his men went up to the stronghold. 1 Samuel 24 [1] And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi. [2] Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats. [3] And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave. [4] And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily. [5] And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt. [6] And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD. [7] So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way. [8] David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself. [9] And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt? [10] Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed. [11] Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it. [12] The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee. [13] As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee. [14] After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea. [15] The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand. [16] And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept. [17] And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil. [18] And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not. [19] For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day. [20] And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand. [21] Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house. [22] And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold. 2) Our Daily Bread for 13 April 2025 titled <a href="https://odb.org/2025/04/13/listen-to-the-stones"> Listen to the Stones </a> Luke 19:37-40 37 When He was coming near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with loud voices for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 (Lk 13:35; Mt 21:9) saying: 'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!'(Ps 118:26.) Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" 39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples." 40 (Hab 2:11) He answered them, "I tell you, if these should be silent, the stones would immediately cry out." [37] And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; [38] Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. [39] And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. [40] And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. After our family held a riverside memorial service for my father, we each selected a stone to help us remember him. His life had been a checkerboard of wins and losses, but we knew his heart had been for us. My fingers traced my stone's smooth surface and helped me remember to hold him close. In Luke 19, Jesus made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem while the crowds waved palm branches, shouted Hosannas, and cheered, "Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" (v. 38; see John 12:12-13). In the Pharisees' disdain of what they perceived to be a blasphemous claim of messiahship, they ordered Jesus to tell the disciples to be quiet. Jesus replied, "If they keep quiet, the stones will cry out" (Luke 19:40). The stones do cry out- in many ways. God has used stones throughout the story of His love for us. Two rough-hewn stones carried ten chiseled commandments to tell us how to live (Exodus 34:1). Stones of remembrance piled by the Jordan River and in the middle of the river reminded generations of Israelites of God's provision and faithfulness (Joshua 4:8-9 nlt). The one rolled into place to contain Jesus' body is the same one that rolled away to show He had risen (Matthew 27:59-66; Luke 24:2). We "hear" this stone as it reminds us of Jesus' words: "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25). Listen to the stones and lift your own voice along with them in praise to our loving Father. By: Elisa Morgan Reflect & Pray How have the stones of God's work in our world "cried out" to you? What message might God intend for you to take to heart? Dear Father, thank You for using even stones to speak of Your love. <a href="https://discoverodb.org/articles/give-me-a-sign/"> For further study, read Give Me a Sign</a> 3) From The Billy Graham Evangelical Ministry Association Words in Season - Scripture Memory Tools Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 1 - Bought Back Eph 1:7 7 (Ro 3:24; Ac 2:38; 20:28) In Him we have redemption through His blood and the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace [7] In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; In the opening scenes of The Glenn Miller Story, Glenn Miller, then a struggling musician trying to find an audience for his music, enters a pawn shop. He has hocked his trombone for rent money, and has come to redeem it. Paying the pawn broker the money, he buys back his own instrument and leaves the shop, indicating that he will probably be back again. In Eph 1:7. Paul says that in Christ "we have redemption through His blood and the forgiveness of sin according to the riches of His grace." We belonged to God from the beginning; he made us and stamped his image upon us. But through sin we were lost, pawned to the world's system and the Enemy of our souls. But God redeemed us; he "bought us back" with the most valuable currency in the universe - the blood of his own Son, Jesus Christ. He did not resent the bargain, or question whether we were worth such a price. He freely gave Jesus in trade to ransom the souls of the people he created and loved. Sometimes in Christian circles we get so caught up in religious jargon that we forget what redemption really means. Gog did not have to "get us out of hock." He was not compelled to buy us back when we had sold ourselves to sin. But because of his love, and with no deserving on our part, he chose to pay an enormous price to set us free. We are redeemed, bought back, by the One who owned us in the first place. Application a) In what ways have I been "in hock" to sin in my life? b) What does it mean, in practical terms, that God "redeemed" me from that sin? 4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland Hebrews 7:8 8 In the one case mortal men receive tithes, but in the other he of whom it is witnessed that he is alive receives them. 8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 5) From a Book called God's Promises for you: When you are Facing Pain and Suffering 2 Cor 12:7-10 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me, lest I be exalted above measure. 8 I asked the Lord three times that this thing might depart from me. 9 But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will boast in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 So I take pleasure in weaknesses, in reproaches, in hardships, in persecutions, and in distresses for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 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 day of Prayers from 10 March 2024 to 8 April 2024 1 Timothy 2:1-7 1 Therefore I exhort first of all that you make supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings for everyone, 2 (Ezr 6:10) for kings and for all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty, 3 (1Ti 1:1; Lk 1:47) for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, 4 (Eze 18:23; 18:32) who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 (Gal 3:20; 1Co 8:6; Dt 6:4) There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 (1Co 1:6; 1Ti 6:15) who gave Himself as a ransom for all. This was the testimony given at the proper time. 7 (Ac 9:15; 2Ti 1:11) For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ and do not lie), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. [1 Therefore I exhort first of all that you make supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings for everyone, 2 (Ezr 6:10) for kings and for all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and honesty, 3 (1Ti 1:1; Lk 1:47) for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, 4 (Eze 18:23; 18:32) who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 (Gal 3:20; 1Co 8:6; Dt 6:4) There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 (1Co 1:6; 1Ti 6:15) who gave Himself as a ransom for all. This was the testimony given at the proper time. 7 (Ac 9:15; 2Ti 1:11) For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ and do not lie), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. How can we keep praying? Pray for Muslims you know and those that live around you. Ask those who are serving Christ among Muslim people how you can pray for them. When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days. What should you pray for?
