“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31 NIV

My thoughts: The God who created these amazing birds is able to act on your behalf.

“Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.” Psalm 61:1-3 KJV

The photo above isof Kfir Bibas, the youngest hostage taken into Gaza by Hamas terrorists. His first birthday was not celebrated with his mother and father. No, little Kfir had his first birthday in captivity.
I cannot imagine the unbearable pain and horror his parents and family are experiencing right now. Pray for them and all the hostages and their families.
The savage attack on Israel on October 7th portrayed human depravity at its worst. But in spite of this reality, terror organizations are influencing people all over the world to protest against Israel! They are easily manipulated to hate the Jews because they are ignorant of the truth. This is evil and is inspired by Satan.
Similarly, when protestors chanted and held signs that said “From the River to the Sea. Palestine will be free”, they were asked what river? and what sea? They didn’t know. Nor did they know that the chant implicitly advocates for the dismantling of Israel and a call for the removal or extermination of the Jewish population of the region.

Anti-semitism is at an all-time high. Pro-Hamas protests are occurring in cities all over the world! It is unthinkable, but it is happening nonetheless, even in U.S. cities.
Thousands of Pro-Hamas Protesters in London
Do you know what else is at an all-time high? DECEPTION! Ignorance of the truth is widespread and deception is rampant.
In a world often characterized by intolerance and hate, God has called His people to love. The Woke crowd hates anyone who won’t get on board with their agenda. They will curse you and call you a racist, transphobic, or a Nazi. Protestors try to shut down free speech when the speaker is pro-life. Speaking the Truth takes courage and many Christians stay silent because speaking out may cause them to be hated. They could even lose their job.
The following verse takes on new significance in today’s world.
Jesus said, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:34-35 NIV
Christ-followers are to be identified by the way they love one another. Just think of it. Some groups are identified by their head covering. Some are identified by the color of their skin, their language, their food, their flag, or their culture. Of all the ways we might identify a particular group of people, only Christ-followers are identified by their love. That’s amazing when you think about it.
Our human perspective is limited. Paul said,
“We see through a glass darkly” (1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV)
But God’s perspective is without limitations. He is all-knowing. That’s why we must trust and follow Jesus, even when we don’t understand His ways. How do we do that? By obeying His Word.
Jesus prayed, “I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” John 17:14-17 NIV (emphasis mine)
There is already tremendous pressure to accept an unbiblical worldview. But if you read your Bible, you know this pressure is only going to get worse.
The Apostle John warns us that a time is coming when people won’t be able to buy or sell unless they worship the Antichrist, and have a specific mark on their hand or forehead. That’s a lot of pressure to conform! Revelation 13:16-17 NIV
Jesus said, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly My disciples;and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 14:1 NASB
“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist…” Ephesians 6:14 NIV
“Beloved, let’s love one another; for love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” 1 John 4:7 NASB (emphasis mine)

“And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” Matthew 6:7-8 NIV
My thoughts: If you’re like me, you may think your prayers lack a certain flourish that you hear when others pray. Don’t worry. God knows exactly what you’re trying to say and what is in your heart.

Dear Reader, men may forget us and let us down in life. The royal cupbearer to Pharaoh forgot Joseph’s kindness to him, and did not keep his promise (Genesis 40:14,23). Even worse than that is that men forget the blessings of God in their lives, and drift away from Him as Israel did on countless occasions (Judges 3:7, Jeremiah 3:21). Sadly, today we are no different than the ancient Israelites; we often drift away into the pleasures of this world as a boat drifts on a current. “But God,” our Anchor is still in the business of saving souls – as He remembered Noah He remembers you today.
“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!” Jesus (Matthew 18:6-7 NIV Emphasis mine)
Something to Think About: What worldly influences prey upon our children? How can we protect them?
