Good morning and Happy Monday,
Here are Holy Week reflection scriptures for our meditation.
“Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the Lord called me; from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.
He made my mouth like a sharpened sword,in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me into a polished arrow
and concealed me in his quiver.
He said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.” But I said, “I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing at all. Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand, and my reward is with my God.” Isaiah 49: 1-4 (NIV).
“This is what the Lord says— the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel—
to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation to the servant of rulers:
“Kings will see you and stand up,
princes will see and bow down,
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.” Isaiah 49: 7 (NIV).

Greetings 👋
God is on the move in prayer groups across America. Let revival and unity of purpose unite and empower us.
“I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.
I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart.
Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together.
I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears.
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles.
For the angel of the Lord is a guard;
he surrounds and defends all who fear him.”
Psalm 34: 1-7 (NLT).

Here’s my prayer for today.
“Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.”
Psalm 119: 18 (NIV).
‼️Below are the verses the Lord gave me today.
What can you glean from these verses ? Do they speak to your heart or situation?
“Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint; protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the plots of evildoers.
They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
They shoot from ambush at the innocent; they shoot suddenly, without fear.
They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk about hiding their snares; they say, “Who will see it?”
They plot injustice and say, “We have devised a perfect plan!” Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
But God will shoot them with his arrows; they will suddenly be struck down.
He will turn their own tongues against them and bring them to ruin; all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
All people will fear; they will proclaim the works of God and ponder what he has done.
The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and take refuge...
