mine head.

hill. Selah.

themselves against me round about.

Selah.

Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

More than in the time that their corn and their wine increased.
8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep:

PSALMS 12

For the Music Director. According to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.

1 Help, Lord, for the godly man comes to an end,
for the faithful disappear from sons of men.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) They speak empty words, each with his own neighbor;
they speak with flattering lips and a double heart.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) The Lord will cut off all flattering lips,
and the tongue that speaks proud things,
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) who have said, "With our tongue will we prevail;
our lips are in our control, who is master over us?"
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) "Because the poor are plundered,
because the needy sigh,
now I will arise," says the Lord;
"I will place him in the safety for which he yearns."
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) The words of the Lord are pure words;
they are silver tried in an earthen furnace
refined seven times.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) You will keep them, O Lord;
You will preserve them from this generation.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The wicked walk on every side,
when the worthless of mankind are exalted.

Psalms 12
[1] Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among
the children of men.
[2] They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
[3] The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
[4] Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own:
who is lord over us?
[5] For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. [6] The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
[7] Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this
generation for ever.
[8] The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

PSALMS 13

For the Music Director. A Psalm of David.

1 How long, O Lord? Will You forget me for good?
How long will you hide Your face from me?
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) How long will I harbour cares in my soul
and sorrow in my heart by day?
How long will my enemy loom over me?
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Take note and answer me, O Lord my God!
Brighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) lest my enemy say, "I have him,"
lest my foes exult when I stumble.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) I for my part confide in Your kindness;
may my heart exult in Your salvation!
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) I will sing to the Lord,
because He has dealt bountifully with me.

Psalms 13
[1] How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide
thy face from me?
[2] How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart
daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
[3] Consider and hear me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
[4] Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that
trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
[5] But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. [6] I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.

PSALMS 28

A Psalm of David.

1 To You, O Lord, will I cry;
my Rock, do not be silent to me;
lest if You were silent to me,
then I would become like those who go down to the pit.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Hear the voice of my supplications
when I cry to You,
when I lift up my hands
toward Your most holy place.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Do not draw me away with the wicked
and with the workers of iniquity,
who speak peace to their neighbours,
but mischief is in their hearts.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) Give them according to their deeds,
and according to the wickedness of their endeavors;
give them according to the work of their hands;
return to them what they deserve.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Because they do not regard the works of the Lord,
nor the work of His hands,
He will destroy them
and not build them up.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Blessed be the Lord,
because He has heard the voice of my supplications.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusted in Him, and I was helped;
therefore my heart rejoices,
and with my song I will thank Him.
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord is the strength of His people,
and He is the saving strength of His anointed.
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Save Your people,
and bless Your inheritance;
feed them and lift them up forever.

Psalms 28
[1] Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou
be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.
[2] Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up
my hands toward thy holy oracle.
[3] Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity,
which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
[4] Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them
their desert.
[5] Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.
[6] Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my
supplications.
[7] The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
[8] The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his
anointed.
[9] Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift
them up for ever.

PSALMS 55

For the Music Director. With stringed instruments.
A Contemplative Maskil of David.

1 Give ear to my prayer, O God,
and do not hide Yourself from my supplication.
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) Attend to me, and answer me;
I am restless in my complaint, and I murmur,
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) because of the voice of the enemy,
because of the pressure of the wicked,
for they cause trouble to drop on me,
and in wrath they have animosity against me.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) My heart is in pain within me,
and the terrors of death have fallen on me.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) Fear and trembling come into me,
and horror has overwhelmed me.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) I said, "Oh, that I had wings like a dove!
For then I would fly away and be at rest.
7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Indeed, then I would wander far off,
and remain in the wilderness. Selah
8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) I would hasten my escape
from the windy storm and tempest."
9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Confuse, O Lord, divide their tongues,
for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 ) Day and night they go around it on its walls;
trouble and sorrow are in its midst.
11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Destruction is in its midst;
oppression and treachery do not depart from its streets.
12 For it is not an enemy who reproachesme;
then I could bear it.
Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me;
then I could hide from him.
13 But it was you, my peer,
my guide, and my acquaintance.
14 We took pleasant counsel together,
and walked to the house of God in company.
15 May death surprise them,
and may their lives go down to Sheol,
for wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.
16 As for me, I will call on God,
and the Lord will save me.
17 Evening and morning and at noon,
I will make my complaint and murmur,
and He will hear my voice.
18 He has ransomed my life in peace
from the battle against me,
for there were many against me.
19 God will hear and afflict them,
even He who sits enthroned from of old. Selah
Because they do not change,
therefore they do not fear God.
20 My friend has set his hands against those at peace with him;
he has violated his covenant.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter,
but battle was in his heart;
his words were softer than oil,
yet they were drawn swords.
22 Cast your burden on the Lord,
and He will sustain you;
He will never allow
the righteous to be moved.
23 But You, O God, will cast the wicked down
into the pit of destruction;
men of blood and deceitful men
will not live out half their days.
But I will trust in You.

Psalms 55
[1] Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication. [2] Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
[3] Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the
wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
[4] My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen
upon me.
[5] Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed
me.
[6] And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away,
and be at rest.
[7] Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
[8] I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
[9] Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
[10] Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also
and sorrow are in the midst of it.
[11] Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from
her streets.
[12] For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
[13] But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
[14] We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
[15] Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
[16] As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
[17] Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
[18] He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
[19] God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
[20] He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he
hath broken his covenant.
[21] The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
[22] Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall
never suffer the righteous to be moved.
[23] But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction:
bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will
trust in thee.

Good Soil in God </a> by Katara Patton

Luke 8:4-8,11-15

Luke 8:4-8

The Parable of the Sower
Mt 13:1-9; Mk 4:1-9

4 When a large crowd had gathered together and people were coming to Him
from every city, He told this parable:
5 "A sower went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the path
and was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 Some fell on a rock. And as soon as it sprang up, it withered away,
because it lacked moisture.
7 (Jer 4:3) Yet some fell among thorns. And the thorns sprang up with it
and choked it.
8 (Mt 11:15; Ge 26:12) And other seed fell on good ground and sprang up
and yielded a hundred times the amount sown."
When He had said these things, He cried out,
"He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

[4] And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
[5] A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
[6] And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
[7] And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
[8] And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears
to hear, let him hear.

The Parable of the Sower Explained
Mt 13:18-23; Mk 4:13-20

11 (Mt 13:19; Mk 4:14-20) "Now the parable means this:
The seed is the word of God.
12 Those along the path are those who hear. Then comes the devil,
who takes away the word from their hearts, lest they should believe
and be saved.
13 (Isa 58:2; Eze 33:32) Those on the rock are the ones who,
when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root,
for they believe for a while, then in the time of temptation fall away.
14 (1Ti 6:9-10; 6:17) That which fell among thorns are those who,
when they have heard, go out and are choked with the cares
and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.
15 (Php 1:11; Col 1:6) But the seed on the good ground are those who,
having heard the word, keep it in an honest and good heart
and bear fruit with patience.

[11] Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
[12] Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
[13] They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
[14] And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard,
go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life,
and bring no fruit to perfection.
[15] But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good
heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

In late spring each year, I plant cucumber seeds in our garden. The seeds produce leaves quickly, but it takes time to see the fruit. In fact, one summer after I watered the seeds and waited, I questioned whether I'd get any cucumbers at all. I thought, Did I put too many seeds too close together, or was the ground not warm enough when I'd planted them? But one day, I spotted a green bulb. The next week, I spotted another. Then another. Within a few weeks, we moved from only vines to almost enough fruit to make salad for
a week.

Spiritual growth looks like that sometimes. We don't always see the things we've been praying for: patience, self-control, being gentle and loving
(see Galatians 5:22-23). But if we ask God to help us create the conditions needed for growth - prayer, studying the Scriptures, worship, serving
others - the Holy Spirit will produce the growth.

This is the crux of the parable Jesus shares in Luke 8: "A farmer went
out to sow his seed" (v. 5). "The birds ate" some of the seeds that fell
on the path (v. 5). Others landed on rocky ground, where they received
no moisture and withered (v. 6). Some more fell among thorns and were
choked before they could grow (v. 7). But the seed that was planted on good soil yielded a crop that was "a hundred times more than was sown" (v. 8).

As God helps us, let's cultivate "good soil" and grow in Him.

Reflect & Pray

How is God helping you cultivate "good soil"?
Where have you observed growth in your life?

Master Gardener, please help me produce good fruit from good soil.

Week 3 - Saved Now and Forever - Day 5 - God Loved, So He Gave

John 3:16-17

16 (Ro 5:8; 1Jn 4:9-10; Jn 1:18) "For God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in
Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
17 (1Jn 4:14; Lk 19:10) For God did not send His Son into
the world to condemn the world, but that the world
through Him might be saved."

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;
but that the world through him might be saved.

Often called "the gospel in a nutshell", John 3:16 is so familiar,
even the unchurched, that it has all but lost its impact for us.
WE cite it by rote, as if it had no more meaning than a SSN (SIN),
and think that we understand the truth because we know the words.
Why did God send Jesus, his only Son, into the world to die?
Because he loved the people he created. God had no reason,
humanly speaking, to love mankind. Throughout history, from
the Garden of Eden forward, people had deliberately turned
against God and tried his patience. Even the nation God chose
for himself, Israel rebelled against the Lord and turned to other gods.
And we, as individuals, have rebelled against him too. WE have tried
to control our own lives; we have denied his reality; or
acknowledged his existence and then systematically ignored him.
We have become our own gods.
Yet Christ, in love, took upon himself the rejection, the humiliation,
the pain we were responsible for. We deserved to be condemned to die,
but he died for us instead. "God did not send his Son into the world
to condemn the world," John 3:17 says, "but that the world
through Him might be saved."
Often, even after we have committed our lives to Christ, we mistakenly
suppose that God's primary purpose is to condemn us - to catch us in sin
and punish us. But God says that his purpose is to love us and to save us
from sin and ourselves. He loved, and so he gave; he still loves us,
and he still continues to give.

Application

a) What sin in my life put Jesus on the cross?

b) How do I know that my sins has been forgiven?

c) How can these verses help me when I face condemnation and guilt?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Matthew 6:19-21

Treasures in Heaven

Lk 12:33-34

19 (Heb 13:5; Lk 12:21) "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
20 (Lk 12:33; Mt 19:21) But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust destroy
and where thieves do not break in nor steal,
21 (Lk 12:34) for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

God's Eternal Faithfulness

2 Tim 2:8-13

8 (Mt 1:1; Ro 2:16) Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead,
descended from David, according to my gospel,
9 (Php 1:7; 2Ti 1:8) in which I suffer trouble like a criminal,
even with chains. But the word of God is not bound.
10 (Col 1:24; 2Co 1:6; 4:17) Therefore I endure all things
for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain
the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 (Ro 6:8; 1Th 5:10) This is a faithful saying:
If we die with Him, we shall also live with Him.
12 (Mt 10:33; Ro 8:17 ) If we endure, we shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him, He also will deny us.
13 (Nu 23:19; Ro 3:3 )If we are faithless,
He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
9 wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him,
we shall also live with him:
12 if we suffer, we shall also reign with him:
if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye:
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)

Ontario

Quick facts on Muslims in Ontario

Ontario 2015 population 13 687 7000

est Muslim Population 1 001 542

CNMM Networks: Ottawa, Durham, York, Toronto, Mississauga, Halton, Hamilton,
Niagara, Kitchener, London, Windsor

Ontario has 55% of all of Canada's entire Muslim population. This means that the whole of the Muslim world is represented somewhere in this province. Most Muslims are understandably located along the southern border stretching
from Windsor eastward all the way up to Ottawa. Yet Muslims are constantly resettling in more and more suburban and even small towns of Ontario. Mosques are springing up, and where there are enough gathered, Islamic schools
are starting.
And they're not complacent, either. Many Islamic leaders are energetic in their advancement of Islam in Canadian society. Recently in the Niagara Region,
the local mosque distributed via Canada Post as many as 50000 full-colour brochures on Islam. An that mosque's Facebook page proudly show pictures of "reverts", or white Canadians who have converted to Islam as a result of receiving the flier and engaging with the mosque community. Another town reports Muslims going door-to-door evangelism.
Agree in prayer for:

- net network leaders - the need is great
- the development of network leadership teams
- good connections with local pastors, congregations and individuals
whom God is calling into this ministry.
- wisdom facilitating outreach and training activities for mobilising
believers
- new full and part-time workers among Muslims throughout all these areas
- for pastors and churches to respond not in fear, but full of faith and love
towards Muslims, sharing Jesus with them.

When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and, of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes. 21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus. Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the house."

Ideas for prayer

- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

And

Thank you for praying through the
5 Days of Prayer for Sikhs.

"My name is Kam. I'm 29 years of age, and I grew up Sikh. As a teenager,
I struggled with depression, brokenness, and addiction to
cannabis. I didn't know how to stop or how to get help.

Then a friend invited me to church. As I spent time with Christians
and heard the message of the Gospel, I experienced the
love of Jesus Christ, and it was like nothing I'd known before.
One night I had a dream where I saw Him - a figure surrounded by
light who I knew was Jesus, the light of the world.

As I began to understand the gospel message, I encountered a reassuring and confident solution to the problem of sin. I knew that I needed a solution
to my sin problem, and I gave my life to Christ.

Slowly, God began to heal my broken heart and my addiction.
Nine years have passed, and I am a devoted husband and a father
to two beautiful boys. I grow deeper in love with Jesus each day.

I ask you to continue praying with me, and others around the world, for Sikhs. God is the only one who can draw people to Himself. He works in and through the prayers of His people. I want Sikhs to know the freedom
and healing that is only available through Jesus Christ."

13 (Ro 14:17; 12:12) Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy
and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope,
through the power of the Holy Spirit.

[13] Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that
ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

ROMANS 15:13

My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity (Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
