  • Distressed Travelers
  • Inner Peace

Note: The send text message feature has been removed from this month’s mobile Our Daily Bread. The mobile application didn’t work with Smartphones like the Dopod when the send text message feature was in there. I don’t want to take away a feature without giving something in return. So, I’m considering creating a new mobile application with a collection of quotations and poems that can be sent as text messages.

Buddhism: A South Asian Religion

Below is a sampler for Global Prayer Digest taken from the devotional reading for 1st August 2007.

DATE: August 1, 2007

FOCUS: Buddhist Sherpa People in Nepal

DETAILS:
Ezra DeVol and Frances Hodgin met in 1930 at Wesleyan Methodist College in Indiana. It was the time of the Great Depression, so Ezra did odd jobs to help pay expenses. Frances worked in the college kitchen, did housework and clerked at Sears. They started dating in their junior year, and it wasn’t long before they knew they were in love.

Ezra was born in China in 1909. His parents were both medical doctors, and both died while Ezra was still a boy, so he went to live with an aunt and uncle.

Frances was born in Michigan in the same year and month as Ezra. She was very interested in missions, and felt she should be a single missionary. While Ezra knew he wanted to become a doctor, he blocked out the idea of becoming a missionary. But in his new relationship with Frances, he gradually started to think he might be missing God’s best for his life. At a mission conference in 1931, Ezra found himself responding to the challenging messages. Becoming uncomfortable, since he had long ago decided he would not be a missionary, he stayed at home from the last meeting. But he had no peace. Finally, just as the meeting was closing, he went there and surrendered his will to the Lord’s. After completing their training, Ezra as a surgeon, and Frances as a nurse, they were married in 1936.

Pray for today’s would-be missionaries to clearly hear the Lord’s voice when He calls (Continued tomorrow).-AL

HEB. 7:4
“Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!”

After Abraham had returned from defeating four kings and rescuing his nephew Lot, he was met and blessed by Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High. (See Genesis 14:17-20. Melchizedek means “king of righteousness;” king of Salem means “king of peace.”) Abraham then returned the blessing by giving Melchizedek a tenth of everything that was taken from battle. The author of Hebrews declares that Jesus, our “king of righteousness” and “king of peace,” is also our eternal priest “in the order of Melchizedek.” Does He merit at least a tenth of all we possess? Jesus gave His all for us; dare we give anything less for Him?

Lord, help us to give You our all!

Mobile Prayer, Praise and Promises for August

28 Jul

Prayer, Praise and Promises Prayer, Praise and Promises

Here’s a sampler for Prayer, Praise and Promises taken from the devotional reading for August 15.

Safety in the Shadow

Read Psalm 91:1-8

I wonder what the safest place in the world is. A bomb shelter? A bank vault? Perhaps a prison surrounded by an army? According to Psalm 91, the safest place in the world is a shadow. “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (v. 1). “He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler” (v. 4).

What does this mean? The psalmist refers to the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle and the temple. In the Holy of Holies, two cherubim were over the mercy seat, and their wings touched each other. “Under his wings” means at the mercy seat, where the blood was sprinkled, there in the presence of the glory of God. The Holy of Holies was God’s throne. It was the place of God’s glory. In other words, the safest place in the world is in fellowship with God—not just visiting the Holy Place, as the high priest did once a year, but dwelling in the Holy Place. The psalmist is urging, “Live in the Holy of Holies.”

According to Hebrews 10, we have an open invitation to come right into the presence of God and dwell in the secret place—under His wings, at the mercy seat. This is where God meets with us, where His glory is revealed, where He gives us His guidance and shows us His will. My shadow is not much protection for anyone. But when it belongs to the Almighty, a shadow is a strong protection. Live in the Holy of Holies, under the shadow of the Almighty.

* * *

God invites you to fellowship with Him—to live in the Holy of Holies. What an invitation! You may come into the safety of His presence and receive His mercy, guidance and protection. Do you live under God’s shadow?

Prayer, Praise and Promises devotionals for August are taken from Psalm 85 to Psalm 100. Get it for your mobile phone from the Devotions by Warren Wiersbe download page.

Urban Northeast Asia: New Mission Fields in a New Era

From the Global Prayer Digest July 2007 Editorial page:

Dear Praying Friends

Part of me wishes that we had done this issue years ago. Northeast Asian cities, especially in China, are growing extremely rapidly, and they have been doing so since the 1990s. What can we expect to see during these times of great change? Most likely, there will be a widening gap between the rich and poor. Some will make much money in businesses, while others will try to scrape by as day laborers. Farmers will lose their land as more of the soil becomes devoted to urbanization. These landless farmers will probably wander to the cities to take low-paying jobs.

We can also expect some social changes. Many of the otherwise remote, unreached people groups will be living in places where they can be reached with the gospel. As the generations go by, they may lose their unique ethnic identities and languages. It will be easier to reach them for Christ in the urban future than it was in the rural past.

One word of caution about this issue. Though we tried to match up unreached people groups with cities where some of them live, sometimes the matchups were a little forced. Paul Hattaway, the author of the urban China books which we used extensively in this issue, noted that the reached Han Chinese groups mainly inhabit China’s cities. However, there are often pockets of unreached minorities, especially in cities in Chengdu and Lhasa.

Please pray for the cities themselves as well as the unreached people groups this month.

In Christ,

Keith Carey Managing Editor GPD
