expect the best
“This is what God’s servants can expect.
I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best.”
Today, during our prayer time, we received some GOOD news for our local congregation…The scriptures from today’s prayer request list are: John 17:15; Isaiah 54:17; 2 Corinthians 2:11; 1 Peter 3:12; Psalms 9:9-10 & 91:9-11.
As we read them and asked God for guidance in requesting prayer support for protection from the evil plots of Satan against our local church body, our Pastors, our Elders, and all of our community members these verses from Isaiah leapt off the screen and seared into my spirit and my soul.
Isaiah 54:17 (The Message)
11-17"Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied:
I’m about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise,
Lay your foundations with sapphires,
construct your towers with rubies,
Your gates with jewels,
and all your walls with precious stones.
All your children will have God for their teacher—
what a mentor for your children!
You’ll be built solid, grounded in righteousness,
far from any trouble—nothing to fear!
far from terror—it won’t even come close!
If anyone attacks you,
don’t for a moment suppose that I sent them,
And if any should attack,
nothing will come of it.
I create the blacksmith
who fires up his forge
and makes a weapon designed to kill.
I also create the destroyer—
but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged.
Any accuser who takes you to court
will be dismissed as a liar.
This is what God’s servants can expect.
I’ll see to it that everything works out for the best."
God’s Decree.
PLEASE, agree with us, that as a community, we can accept these promises from God’s Word as a word for us today. Please agree with us that God can and will rebuild our church upon the solid foundation of His precious Word; that no weapon formed against us can hurt us and that the attacks of the past are just that – past.
Dear prayer partners, I believe God means what He says here – for us – now, in this hour. I believe God will see to it that everything works out for the best IF we can continue to agree together in prayer.
We thank God. He always watches over His Word to perform it.
