Prayer Shorts: Psalm 65:9-12

A scripture to pray over the Arabian Peninsula, Psalm 65:9-12 from the New Living Translation:

You take care of the earth and water it,
making it rich and fertile.

The river of God has plenty of water;
it provides a bountiful harvest of grain, for You have ordered it so.

You drench the plowed ground with rain,
melting the clods and leveling the ridges.

You soften the earth with showers,
and bless its abundant crops.

You crown the year with a bountiful harvest;
even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.

The grasslands of the wilderness become a lush pasture,
and the hillsides blossom with joy.

Psalm 65:9-12

Enlarge the place of your tent...

Earlier this summer, Operation Mobilization met and ministered to hundreds of mission-minded youth at the South Asian Global Convention (SAGC) in Singapore. Several denominations partnered together on this event to help mobilize the next generation into mission. This year's theme was "Beyond Boundaries", from Isaiah 54:2:

Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.

You can read more about what happened at the conference in this article by Assist News or visit the SAGC website by clicking on the picture here.

IBS-STL now Biblica

Send the Light, OM's original literature distribution ministry, became independent then merged with the International Bible Society two years ago, forming IBS-STL. This month, the organization announced their new name and unveiled a new website, Biblica.

"The blending of these organizations is a powerful combination," said Keith Danby, Biblica CEO. "It's not often that two ministries can come together with the potential to have such far-reaching global impact for the cause of Christ and the Bible."

Day 3: confession

We are praying through the Sermon on the Mount during our 10 days of 24/7 prayer. So today, let's read these words of Jesus in Matthew 5:21-48. Then we can ask the Lord to search our hearts and show us where we may have put our own "holiness" over His love for the people around us. Let's confess what He reveals and continue to pray through Matthew 5-7.
