“The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes,” (Psalm 19: 8, ESV).
Dear Intercessors, this is Eleanor Witcher of the Office of Global Prayer Strategy, asking you to pray for families.
O and his wife, J, were Muslim Gurage of Ethiopia with several grown children. One daughter accepted Christ many years ago, creating a crisis in the family. She was threatened with death, so she fled to another city, married, and remained there. Recently O and J traveled to the city. Instead of going to see her, they went to the home of a mutual friend, a believer. The hostess was amazed when O asked for a Bible. O declared that he, his wife and one son had accepted Jesus. After hearing a Gospel radio program in their heart language, he had become curious and was led to the truth about Jesus. The host phoned the daughter, telling her what was happening. She could not believe it, but saw for herself that her mother and father honestly desired reconciliation.
The Light for Taichung Team, Taiwan, writes: “We have asked you to pray in the past for the spiritual awakening of the husbands of Christian women, so they will come to know the Lord. Give thanks that just this past month, one husband, J, accepted the Lord and another has begun attending a Bible-study time with his wife.”
C is a young believer who is receiving pressure from her parents to get married. Several months ago, she began dating a non-Christian but was convicted that this relationship was not pleasing to God. Churches where C lives tend to be filled with more women than men–women married to unbelieving husbands and single sisters struggling with pressure from parents and peers to marry non-believers.
* Please pray that God will raise up strong Christian men to provide spiritual leadership in their homes and churches.
* Pray for the Christian men of Taichung to grow in Christian character.
* Give thanks for family reconciliations and seek out an opportunity to end any strife within your family.
But you will not even need to fight.
Take your positions;
then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory.
He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem.
Do not be afraid or discouraged.
Go out there tomorrow, for the Lord is with you!
~2 Chronicles 20:17 (NLT)~
Continue to pray for Gretchen Simpson, Mrs. Catherine Yarborough, Mr. Billy Brabham, Micah Tolleson, and Stacey Scarle.

PLANNING AHEAD
The story is told of Morris, a Russian man, who saved his rubles for twenty years to buy a new car. After choosing the model and options he wants, he’s not the least bit surprised or even concerned to learn that it will take two years for the new car to be delivered. He thanks the salesman and starts to leave, but as he reaches the door he pauses and turns back to the salesman. “Do you know which week two years from now the new car will arrive?”
The salesman checks his notes and tells the man that it will be two years to the exact week. The man thanks the salesman and starts out again, but upon reaching the door, he turns back again.
“Could you possibly tell me what day of the week two years from now the car will arrive?”
The salesman, mildly annoyed, checks his notes again and says that it will be exactly two years from this week, on Thursday.
Morris thanks the salesman and once again starts to leave. Halfway though the door, he hesitates, turns back, and walks up to the salesman.
“I’m sorry to be so much trouble, but do you know if that will be two years from now on Thursday in the morning, or in the afternoon?”
Visibly irritated, the salesman flips through his papers yet another time and says sharply that it will be in the afternoon, two years from now on Thursday.
“That’s a relief !” says Morris. “The plumber is coming that morning!”
We often have to make plans far in advance so as to avoid any conflicts. Before making any commitments — you know the routine — we have to pull out the date book (or the iPhone). “The kids have got a soccer game that night at 7:00, but the next night is free.” Planning ahead isn’t wrong; in fact, it’s a scriptural principle. What makes it wrong, though, is planning ahead without any thought of God.
“Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit’; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.’ ” (James 4:13-15)
Go ahead! Make your plans! Fill in that date book! Just make sure that God hasn’t been left out.
Have a great day!

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
