“On the way to the ‘old’ city of Jerusalem I saw this ‘new’ light rail train suspension bridge. Where are the train tracks? Down below, but I found the cables and sky far more interesting. It is designed to represent the harp of King David.” – Reynold

Key Verse: Exodus 7:5
And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
God’s purposes will be carried out in His timing, with or without the willing co-operation of His people, and in spite of the opposition of His enemies. Please look up and read Psalm 105:26-36 where the plagues that came upon the Egyptians are capsulized. Pharaoh set himself to oppose God’s purposes. Pharaoh does not win this battle. I recommend also that we read Revelation 15 & 16. The plagues listed in Revelation are in the future and come upon mankind to fulfill God’s purposes. “God is Love” (1 John 4:8), and it must hurt Him far more than we can conceive when He must allow judgment, which people bring upon themselves, so that His purposes come to pass. As our Father, He knows what is best for His children, and He will do what is right for time and for eternity.
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Dear Lord God, I humbly ask for Your grace that I may fulfill Your purposes in obedience to Your will. I understand so very little about Your ways in which You do things; but I’m trusting You that “Your will may be done in earth as it is in Heaven.” I know that to do Your will cost Jesus of Nazareth His life. Whatever it takes, Lord, I’m Yours forever. I pray in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
100 PERSONAL WORDS:
Reynold’s photo for today speaks to me of the fact that the Children of Israel made it to the Promised Land twice (in ancient AND modern times). The first time 40 years after their deliverance from Egypt and the second time after the demonic anti-semitism of Hitler and others. The first deliverance was 1400 B.C. approximately, and the second in 1948 A.D., when Israel became a sovereign state once again. I remember the first because at family devotions we read the words of Moses, and the second time I remember because we read the Ottawa Citizen newspaper and discussed the purposes of God for His ancient people (I was almost 12 at the time). When God asks in His Word that we should pray for something, I try to remember to do it. He tells us to “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem” (Psalm 122:6). That prayer is sure needed today!
Yours, praying for God’s will to be done in His way and in His timing,
David

I humbled my heart and accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior in March 1982. I had watched your program for a few weeks at a time I was very miserable in body and spirit. I have not turned back. When the counsellor prayed with me over the phone in St. John’s, NL, I felt like a heavy garbage bag was lifted off my right shoulder. On the program, you suggested that we read Scripture 15 minutes a day and keep that special time/place with the LORD. I see so clearly now, 34 years later, that the WORD of truth displaces the lies of the enemy which I fed on daily through media/marketplace, addictions, etc., based on fear. The WORD is life, the WORD is Jesus.
Thank you. I pray you will overcome this challenge of health.
Happy, Happy 80th Birthday David ! I have just been thanking God for you and your commitment and faithfulness to Him and for the millions of people around the world – I am sure – who love and serve the Lord because of 100 Huntley Street !

Wonderful program today! (I had ticket to be in studio, and fully expected to be there, but was ill). I so wanted to see all the Rutledge family.
