Devotional Verses for the Coming Week

Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints

Ephesians 6:11-18

When someone asks you to pray about a need, do you? Are you faithful to remember their request in prayer? Or do you sometimes forget?

I have to admit that sometimes I forget. Someone will ask me to pray about a matter, and I will end our conversation with, “I’ll be praying about that.” Then the hectic pace of life kicks in, and months pass before I realize that I neglected to intercede as promised.

To overcome that tendency toward forgetfulness on my part, I have found a solution that is encouraging and powerful…

“Some say that the most important thing in life is to be in abundance. Others say the most important thing is love. Both are found in The Most High through HIS Son the Messiah.”

“He who says he loves GOD with all of his heart, soul & mind yet does not love all of his fellow human beings is a liar and seed of the serpent.”

Poetry

We’ll Get Through This

Lord, our troubles
Are so great,
We don’t know what to do;
The price for our
Iniquity
Is finally coming due.
The world is crumbling
All about;
No safe place can be found.
Right is wrong,
Wrong is right;
The change is quite profound.
Lord, we need
Your guiding light
To lead us out of here;
We’ll focus on
Your Word, and prayer,
To take away our fear.
Temptations of
This dying world
We’ll rule out and let go;
Give our burdens
All to you,
Shed all worldly woe.
That’s how we’ll
Get through this, Lord,
Fixed on heaven above,
Assured of your
protection, help,
And everlasting love.

~Joanna Fuchs

woman peeping at window — Are you waiting for an answer to a prayer you have placed before the Lord? Is it an urgent petition that needs a rather immediate response? Does His reply seem delayed?

Sometimes, we may be reluctant to pray about a situation, wondering whether the Lord actually hears us. Other times, we have already prayed, but no answer seems to be coming.

At such times, rather than doubting or wavering, we can encourage ourselves and strengthen our resolve with one unshakable reality: God is **the One Who answers.**
