For those of you praying for Muslims during Ramadan, Laylat al-Qadr (observed a week from now) is an important night in their religion. They believe that the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to Muhammed on this night. They have special prayers and stay at the mosque all night, to try and obtain forgiveness and blessing.

How wonderful that we know the Lord who has forgiven us and given us blessings abundantly! He also gives us assurance of knowing we are saved before we die.

Please pray that many Muslims find the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior on this night. Continue to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Muslim countries too.

"Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.

For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time."
1 Timothy 2:1-6

I asked this question today. To walk means to move, to go from one physical place to another. Unless you are walking on a treadmill and then you literally go nowhere! To walk with someone else you have to keep up with their pace, whether they walk slower or faster than you. To walk with Christ we need to watch Him and match our stride with His. Not lagging behind, yet also not walking too far ahead of Him either. I know I tend to run ahead to the future in my thoughts and not always listen to what the Lord tells me in the His Word, the Bible. Who are some people who walked with God? Abraham is one who comes to mind. When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.” Genesis 17:1 Abraham walked so closely with God ...
