Your Word will not be shaken
Your Word will never fail me
Like a fire in my bones
Like a whisper to my soul
Your Word is revelation

I came across this song a couple days ago, and had it on repeat since

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." -Romans 12:12 😄😇🙏

As you read the Word of God today, read it with expectancy and anticipation for the changes it will make in you. - David Jeremiah

#peace
“Peace if possible, truth at all costs.”
-Martin Luther

Jesus says: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27

Christ’s peace is His gift to all who abide in Him. Therefore, it is available to us when we are in circumstances of being least likely to feel at peace.

The short essay I list here is one we wrote that discusses this very subject.

"For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open." -Luke 8:17 🎭😱💥

Dear DingDash family, please keep us in your prayers today. I am here in the US writing Meriam Ibrahim's story. Not an easy story. Yesterday was filled with emotion and tears as Meriam talked about being born in a refugee camp, her father brutally murdering her aunt for an honor killing, her mother being tied up for two days and raped, and her running away and hiding to escape circumcision - only to be forcefully dragged back to the village and the Muslim elders publicly witnessing her genital mutilation - and this was all before she was even 7 years old!
We can use all the prayers we can get for this project.

Enthusiasm is more active than faith, though enthusiasm cannot remove mountains nor call into action any of the omnipotent forces which faith can command. Activity is often at the expense of more solid, useful elements, and generally to the total neglect of prayer. To be too busy with God's work to commune with God, to be busy with doing church work without taking time to talk to God about His work, is the highway to backsliding, and many people have walked therein to the hurt of their immortal souls.
Edward McKendree Bounds

What is the cause of most backslidings? I believe, as a general rule, one of the chief causes is neglect of private prayer.
J. C. Ryle

A Chinese Christian leader recently told his congregation:

“Of course the government is watching you, and even listening to you in your own home! So make sure that what they are seeing is a true disciple of Christ!”

This is the attitude to take. We are not backing down. We are fully trusting in God’s sovereignty over what they do or don’t do to us. We are in the hands of the risen Jesus and He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Be bold.
