“I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall NEVER HOLD THEIR PEACE day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, KEEP NOT SILENCE, And GIVE HIM NO REST, till he stablish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth" (Isaiah 62:6, 7).This Scripture certainly gives us no excuse for not praying for Israel. We are to give God no rest until He establishes Jerusalem a praise in the earth. In our home we have Prayer Boxes. One of our boxes is OUR ISRAEL PRAYER BOX. In this box I have cards with certain needs to pray for Israel which helps us to remember what to pray, especially for the children. I have also written many of the Scriptures that I have been posting each day in this prayer box. I think one of the most wonderful ways to pray is to pray God’s word, to bring God’s promises before Him, and remind Him of them, as He encourages us to do in the above Scripture.
I love Ezekiel 36 which is a wonderful chapter of promises of what God plans to do in the land of Israel, but at the end of the chapter He says: “I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, TO DO IT FOR THEM” (Ezekiel 36:37).

Father, what are you doing today to make your home and family stronger for God and His truth?
"If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at the moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point."
A prayer for the church from Charles Spurgeon:
Your home is God’s gift to you, whether it is a little home or a large home. God created the home for the woman before he brought her into the world. He had the home waiting for her. Eve woke up to life in the place God created for her. The Garden of Eden means “delight.”
Ccontinue lifting up the powerful name of Jesus, the name that has power over all the works of the enemy.
True Christianity is a one-anothering lifestyle.
We talked yesterday about the joyful mother. Sadly, this seems to be the opposite testimony of many mothers today. They look downcast. They are overwhelmed. They are full of self-pity. They moan and groan. Where has the joy gone?
“Hope is the most powerful force in the universe. With hope you can inspire nations to greatness. With hope you can raise up the downtrodden. With hope you can ease the pain of unbearable loss. Sometimes all it takes is one person to make a difference.”
Did you read the post I wrote on January 9 called DUTY’S PATH? There are certain things in life that we have a duty to perform. But because they are duty, it does not mean they need to be drudgery. Duty is either a delight or a drudgery, depending on our attitude! Our aim should be to make every duty in life a delight!
Have you started off smiling this year? Smiling at your husband? Smiling at your children? Maybe things are not going according to your plans and you don’t feel like smiling! Smile anyway. Did you know that smiles don’t depend on circumstances? Your circumstances may not change but as you smile your attitude will! It will change the atmosphere of your home. The more you smile at your family, the more they will smile back at you!
