Wednesday August 6, 2014 “Keeping the Sabbath”

Nehemiah 13:16   “Men of Tyre dwelt there also, who brought in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.”
Men from outside of Jerusalem brought goods into the city which enticed commerce by the children of Judah. Today there seems to be more and more encroachment on Sunday, the first day of the week set apart in the early church as time of gathering for the saints.
   Let us join together in prayer today that Christians across America choose the best thing to do on Sunday – gather to worship.  Pray that believers value the corporate times of prayer, praise and God’s word more than any other activity.
Special Prayer Focus
    Please pray for families of loved ones lost on the recent airline crashes and the one shot down in Ukraine. Pray that the situations be handled wisely by the world community, especially by our country.  Pray that truth be revealed concerning who was responsible.
    Also pray for the crisis in Israel concerning Gaza and Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc.  Pray for the protection of innocent lives and that the world community see the situation through the eyes of truth.  Finally, pray that the United States continue to support our strongest ally in that area of the world, Israel, for in doing so we will be blessed.  Gen 12:3
