We Are The People

Isaiah 55:2 “² Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy?   Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and you will delight in the richest of fare.”

Every nation and kingdom that has risen to the top in our world has eventually turned to the pursuit of pleasure before reaching its apex and then has fallen.  The prophet is calling God’s people to the proper use of wages earned through hard work and investments in life.  He seems to indicate that the best use of money is to enrich the soul.

Pray in agreement with me today as people visit with family and friends, picnic, attend events like car shows, etc. that they recognize the simple things in life can be the most enriching.  Can we also pray that Christians return a “thank offering” to God in the form of a gift to reach other people for Jesus Christ.

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 will 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.  Genesis 12:3
