Joshua 24; Luke 21:1-28; Psalm 89:38-52; Proverbs 13:20-23

Reading from Joshua 24
6 “‘Then I brought your fathers out of Egypt, and you came to the sea. And the Egyptians pursued your fathers with chariots and horsemen to the Red Sea. 7 And when they cried to the Lord, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians and made the sea come upon them and cover them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt. And you lived in the wilderness a long time. 8 Then I brought you to the land of the Amorites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought with you, and I gave them into your hand, and you took possession of their land, and I destroyed them before you. 9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel. And he sent and invited Balaam the son of Beor to curse you, 10 but I would not listen to Balaam. Indeed, he blessed you. So I delivered you out of his hand. 11 And you went over the Jordan and came to Jericho, and the leaders of Jericho fought against you, and also the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. And I gave them into your hand. 12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out before you, the two kings of the Amorites; it was not by your sword or by your bow. 13 I gave you a land on which you had not labored and cities that you had not built, and you dwell in them. You eat the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards that you did not plant.’

The Lord did them and the Lord give and the Lord bless. Is He not real? Are you not satisfy? Indeed, this passsage soke to me about God providence, but more importantly - DO YOU REMEMBER THE PROMISE? God will deliver!

How then is my heart? Weary, burden? Why? Has not the Lord promise you the destiny and the intended rest?

Lord, I pray, indeed you have bless the works of my hand. Forex is not for beginners, but you have bless and you have delivery the result. You have honour your blessings and I have not forgotten to give back to you. I pray that the intented rest will follow, let me enjoy this period of crossing the Jordan and began the battle - the battle to claim the land, the battle that you have go before me to fight. I pray for an uplifted spirit and let this joy be shown and that the showing bring about a testimony to you.

I continue to pray for my family. Rachael is feeling stress up with the work place. It is not rewarding - I can understand because I was in the same situation, where I cannot see where am I going in the work place. Delivery her the joy and let this joy be her strength.

I pray for Josef, that you will open his eyes and that he will be careful in his homework. I thank you for his keeness in your words. Grow him spiritually, and physically and mentally. Let his talents and his ability in learning and understanding, be use as a glory for you.

I pray for my father, yoke and break him. I am lost. I pray that he will understand your love and that there is someone who love him. Melt his heart and change him. Save him not from cancer, but his soul from hell. I don't want his money, I want to see him coming to the Lord. Money I have, any additional from him cannot save his soul - except Jesus.

I pray for Deborah safety against HFMD. I thank you for keeping her safe during this period, from any virus and even from cough and flu! I pray that she can learn to love this God. Teach me as parent to sing, pray and tell story to her about you.
