Thursday August 7, 2014 “Danger of Neglecting Sabbath”

Nehemiah 13:17  “Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, “What evil thing is this that you do, by which you profane the Sabbath day?”
Nehemiah was not afraid to make a stand against those who took away from the sanctity of the Sabbath Day.  Some today contend that every day is alike but it seems that God puts a premium on a day set apart just for Him.
  Pray that Christian leaders will not do things that in any way will devalue time set apart for God in Sabbath and that they will warn others of the danger in drifting from God in worship. In this verse Nehemiah called this evil.
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
