Verse of the Day: Psalm 37:35-40 - I have seen a wicked, violent man spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil. And then he passed away, and low, he was no more. I sought for him, but he he could not be found. Mark the blameless man and behold the upright, for the man of peace will have a posterity, but transgressors will be altogether destroyed. The posterity of the wicked will be cut off, but the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord. He is their strength in times of trouble. The lord the Lord helps them and delivers them who are virtuous. He delivers them from the wicked and saves them because they take refuge in him.

Prayer
Pray that the Lord would liberate Lebanon from the reign of terror of Hezbollah.
Pray that Israel herself is liberated from this threat of Hezbollah.
