Today's Readings:  Psalm 20Judges 9:7-151 John 2:18-28

To read:  Psalm 20
The Lord answer you in the day of trouble! The name of the God of Jacob protect you!
May he send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion.
May he remember all your offerings, and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices. Selah
May he grant you your heart’s desire, and fulfill all your plans.
May we shout for joy over your victory, and in the name of our God set up our banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions.
Now I know that the Lord will help his anointed; he will answer him from his holy heaven with mighty victories by his right hand.
Some take pride in chariots, and some in horses, but our pride is in the name of the Lord our God.
They will collapse and fall, but we shall rise and stand upright.
Give victory to the king, O Lord; answer us when we call.

To think about:
 God is always listening. We offer prayers and thanksgiving and ask for forgiveness. We know that God hears us, but are we ready to hear God? God speaks to us in many different ways, but we must be ready to listen. It would be easy if we could turn on the TV to God’s channel or log on to a website to hear God speak to us. Take time to listen to God with times of silence, or read God’s Word in the Bible. We may also hear God through impressions, thoughts or actions that occur in our daily life. The answer to our prayers will come. Be listening. Thanks be to God!

To pray:

Lord, we give thanks that you always hear our prayers. Enlighten our hearts and allow us to better hear you. Amen.
