"He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot carry out their plans." Job 5:12
"And it happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had brought their plot to nothing, that all of us returned to the wall, everyone to his work." Nehemiah 4:15
Important to KNOW, God knows all, sees all and goes before all. He allows evil to proceed, sickness to occur, and wars to happen, all within His sovereign controls, accomplishing His plan for the ages. Every sickness, trial or war has a beginning middle and end, which God accomplishes and only God knows the beginning from the end. Only our Holy Father knows who He's touching, for what reasons, and only He knows the entirety of His work. He's bringing all to pass. This is why He graces us with faith, and the strength to trust and entrust all. He loves and enjoys us, just the way we are, especially after accepting Jesus, who washes us white as snow!
A building faith, reduces encroaching fears, to nuisances. Never are we to be mindless, intellect-free, robots. We are built to reach for, touch, know and share, the mind of God. "For who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16.
Paul taught us that the mind of Christ is totally surrendered to God, emptied of self, and submitted to the purpose and will of the Father. As Jesus, in Gethsemane prayed, "not My will, but Yours, be done." Luke 22:42b. This is the mind of Christ. Like Jesus, by faith, we surrender to God's will, and greater purpose.
Father God, build our faith in joyous times, in times of sustained illness, and in the uncertainty, of worldwide rebellion. Great is Your faithfulness. We stand in faith, ready in Your word, to follow, fear, walk, love and serve only You. We do pray for the innocents in the crosshairs of battle. We ask that relative to terrorism, You would cause the plots of the evil to backfire upon the plotters, before they can murder others. May bomb makers, self detonate. May explosive vest wearers, self detonate, before they reach another person. May evil self detonate. As evil sniper shooters, take aim at their targets, may their rifles misfire, backfiring upon themselves. May evil plots, be foiled before implementation. May those would turn "from their devotion to evil," repent, and be saved, like Saul of Tarsus, who became the apostle Paul. Cause the Bible to strengthen, build and bless the faith, of each of Your readers!
Please bless our son's wedding day, today with peace, safety and faith-building love. So many weddings have been interrupted by terror, all over the middle east. We pray You frustrate such plotters, SAVE any terrorist, who would be saved, as was Saul of Tarsus, and we fervently pray against the hideous growth, of global terror, in Jesus name, and for His sake, Amen.
