Calling All Prayer Warriors
Greetings in the Lord!
Today's word comes from Proverbs 12:3, 6 & 17~
"A man cannot be established through wickedness, but the righteous cannot be uprooted."
"The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them."
"A truthful witness gives honest testimony, but a false witness tells lies."
~I read an article in Time magazine yesterday on the war in Iraq, which I haven't done in a long time. Naturally, the article was full of stories of people lying, stealing, and plotting every sort of wickedness to either take control or advantage of the desperate situation there. We have a tendency to throw our hands up and say nothing good will come of it, but instead, I am encouraging you today to pray that the Lord will raise up a righteous leader within Iraq--one that will not be uprooted because he pursues righteousness and that there will be a hunger and thirst for truth and justice within their judicial system; a thirst that cannot be quenched by bribes and a hunger that cannot be appeased by self-advancement or hidden agendas. Iraq is a spiritual battle and we must begin to prayfully join in the fight and not grow weary. They say we haven't seen many successes there, but remember fellow saints, "We have not because we ask not."
~Be blessed and be a blessing.
