IDOK DEVOTION FOR FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 2010
Praise Reports, Prayer Requests and Updates:
I am expecting to be brief this morning since it is 6:04 and I am just getting started! The Grands are still asleep and I hope I don’t shock any of you by my beloved is accustom to taking care of himself for breakfast — I come in for packing lunch. Enough of that!
Before coming to the screen I read my Journey (A LifeWay Publication) and one statement in particular I want to share with you.
He is always working for the greatest good for the most people for the longest time.
In paraphrase, the piece goes on to say that we should and we can trust the Heart of God. We may not like or even know what His Hands are doing in a season or moment, but we are safe trusting His Heart.
I urge you to follow the link to this you-tube. It’s a God-thing, I believe– finding it this morning was quick and easy …the first one!
Psalm 37: 1Do not fret because of evildoers,
Be not envious toward wrongdoers.
2 For they will wither quickly like the grass
And fade like the green herb.
3 Trust in the LORD and do good;
Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself in the LORD;
And He will give you the desires of your heart.
5 Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.
6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
And your judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
8 Cease from anger and forsake wrath;
Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing.
9 For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land.

Thank You, ABBA, for Your Grace and Your Love for us, so much more than we have yet to experience. I pray we will be willing to experience more and more of Your Love for us and that we will stand still long enough in Your Presence to KNOW You more. And then to be faithful long enough in obedience to experience more and more of You.
I pray this morning for our IDOKs and our Readers, speaking LIFE over them, praying they experience You today in real and tangible ways. I pray for our IDOK Troops for their safety and protection today. And for each name on our list – precious souls, needy souls, rebellious souls, LORD have mercy and grant space and grace for repentance. Not only for those near and dear to our hearts but for those in places of power and leadership. I pray for Israel, thank You for that great Nation and I pray for peace and safety for them. And, ABBA, I thank You for America and I pray You will forgive us. I pray we will turn from our wicked ways; help us Holy Spirit to repent from the ‘Church House’ to the ‘White House’; for Your Word promises if we will repent and turn You will hear and You will forgive and heal our land. This land so needs healing LORD. Please Holy Spirit send revival to Your People so this Land can be healed. Amen and amen in JESUS NAME.
(Forgive the blunders — not much proofreading time this morning)
