Good evening, brethren. 1. Our evening prayer focuses on "Seeking God's true blessings." 2. Do you know the Christia's mode for mission? 3. Do you treasure God's work? 4. Do you withhold good from others? To know more, read the message below: 1. Evening Prayer But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. ⏤ Philippians 4:19 When we work, we work; but when we pray, God works. ⏤ Hudson Taylor Our Father, we beseech You to hear us tonight and to bless us. We have few requests to make. We would rather leave You to bless us in whatever way Your divine wisdom may choose. We do not know what is best for us. We know not what we should pray for as we ought. We often wish for things which would not be real blessings to us. We cannot tell what would be the effect of our having them. Oft-times denial of our requests is a better blessing than the granting of them would be. So we put ourselves into Your hand and ask for Your blessing—whatever will bless us the most really and the most deeply. We beseech You for spiritual good, rather than for temporal favors. The things of this earth are but for a day—and then they are gone. May You give us hunger and desire for things that will last forever. We ask for wisdom, for holiness, for truth, for Christlikeness. You have promised that those who hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled. Give us hunger for righteousness—and thirst for divine grace. Then we shall be satisfied, and what we receive we shall keep forever. While the night is over us, keep us from all harm and danger. We cannot keep ourselves. We are weak and foolish—and the enemies about us are strong and cunning. We cast ourselves upon You, sure that You will shelter us. Let no plague come near our dwelling. May Your angels encamp around our home. May the night bring us rich blessing—sleep and renewal, calmness and quietness. Spread over us Your wings of love. And may grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be with us all forever. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/74/evening #taptapstudio #youdevotion. 2. The Christmas Model for Missions. “As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.” (John 17:18) Christmas is a model for missions. Missions is a mirror of Christmas. As I, so you. For example, danger. Christ came to his own and his own received him not. So you also. They plotted against him. So you. He had no permanent home. So you. They trumped up false charges against him. So you. They whipped and mocked him. So you. He died after three years of ministry. So you. But there is a worse danger than any of these which Jesus escaped. So you!! In the mid-16th century the missionary Francis Xavier (1506–1552), wrote to Father Perez of Malacca (today part of Malaysia) about the perils of his mission to China. He said, The danger of all dangers would be to lose trust and confidence in the mercy of God. . . . To distrust him would be a far more terrible thing than any physical evil which all the enemies of God put together could inflict on us, for without God’s permission neither the devils nor their human ministers could hinder us in the slightest degree. The greatest danger a missionary faces is not death but to distrust the mercy of God. If that danger is avoided, then all other dangers lose their sting. In the end God makes every dagger a scepter in our hand. As J.W. Alexander says, “Each instant of present labor is to be graciously repaid with a million ages of glory.” Christ escaped this danger — the danger of distrusting God. Therefore God has highly exalted him! As he, so you. Remember this Advent that Christmas is a model for missions. As I, so you. And that mission means danger. And the greatest danger is distrusting God’s mercy. Succumb to this and all is lost. Conquer here and nothing can harm you for a million ages. 3.

Skip to content Daily Wisdom Bible Study Chronological Bible Study from the book of Proverbs Posted onDecember 17, 2025 by Christian Channel Do Not Withhold Good from Others – (Proverbs 3:27-32) Do Not Withhold Good from Others – (Proverbs 3:27-32) Daily Proverbs Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so. Do not say to your neighbor, "go, and come back, and tomorrow I will give it," when you have it with you. Do not devise evil against your neighbor, for he dwells by you for safety's sake. Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has done you no harm. Do not envy the oppressor, and choose none of his ways; for the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord, but His secret counsel is with the upright. Daily Bible Study God watches over and protects His children. God is also a protector of the weak, the frail and those with no one else to watch over them. As followers of Christ, we are commanded to not withhold good from others, when it is in our power to do good. This includes watching over and helping those who cannot help themselves, and blessing others as Christ has blessed us. This also includes how we treat those around us, including our neighbors, co-workers and those we meet as we live our day to day lives. In other words, we are to be a blessing to those we meet and those we share our lives with. Moreover, it's not appropriate for a Christian to live as the world lives. We are not undermining others to get ahead, we are not trying to cause others to stumble, or fall because it would be to our advantage. We are not doing things out of spite. On the contrary, we are to help others in all aspects of life, and look to God as our reward, and for our direction. And by doing so, we remember that all good things we have are a gift from God. And we will be accountable for what blessings God has given us and how we used our time, talents and resources to help those in need around us.
