Good monday morning. Yesterday at church I was reminded again of all the thousands of Christians in Africa being slaughtered because they are Christians. This breaks my heart and sickens me. I am asking everyone in Lord's book to call on God to help with this. In God's own word He tells us to sing praises to Him and He will come. In my devotion today they encourage us to sing praise 3 times a day so that we might have God's presence in Washington. I feel that we as Christians should praise God three times a day so that we might have His presence in Africa too. My devotion used the example of Paul and Silas in prison. This seems so appropriate for Sudan and Nigeria.. We used this song together this morning. It is powerful. A mighty fortress is our God.
A bulwark never failing. Our helper , He amid the flood of a mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe. His craft and power are great and armed with cruel hate. On earth is not His equal. Did we and our own strength confide our striving would be losing. Were not the right man on our side.The man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that might be? Christ Jesus it is He! Lord Saboth, His name from age to age the same. And He must win the battle. "And though this world with devils filled, should threaten to undo us. We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us. The Prince prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him. His rage we can endure for lo, his doom is sure. One little word shall fell him. "That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them,abideth. The spirit and the gifts are ours, Through him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also. The body they may kill gGod's truth abideth still. His kingdom is forever!!"
