Saturday August 9, 2014 “Protecting the Sabbath”

Nehemiah  13:19  “So it was, at the gates of Jerusalem, as it began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and charged that they must not be opened till after the Sabbath. Then I posted some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day.”
    Pray in agreement today that Christians will protect their Sabbath by not planning so many activities on the Lord’s day.  As Nehemiah kept commerce out by closing the gates, pray that Christian business people will keep the Sabbath holy as an example – like Chick Fil A chooses to do.
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
