   JULY 18TH – JULY 24TH, 2024
   
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   
   VERSE OF THE WEEK
   
   “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” – Joshua 24:15
   
   YOU GOTTA SERVE SOMEBODY
   
   Singer and songwriter Bob Dylan wrote “Gotta Serve Somebody” in 1979. In the
   chorus, he stated, “It might be the devil or it may be the Lord, but you’re
   gonna have to serve somebody.“ When individuals come to faith in Christ
   Jesus, that part of their humanity that is created to serve is released from
   the bondage of sin and freed to serve Almighty God. Have you given any
   thought recently to whom or what you are serving? Have you considered where
   you have set the first allegiance of your heart and mind? Commit, as Joshua
   did in today’s verse, to serve the Lord. Jesus said, “Take My yoke upon you,
   and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest
   for your souls“ (Matthew 11:29). As you seek to please and obey the Lord, be
   assured that you will receive His guidance, compassion, peace, and love.

   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   PRAY FOR CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES
   
   The House Judiciary Committee recently released a report highlighting the
   attempts by the World Federation of Advertisers to control online speech. The
   report details the advertising trade association’s coordinated efforts,
   through its Global Alliance for Responsible Media, to influence the
   monetization activity of content in digital and broadcast media.
   
   Pray for members of Congressional committees as they provide oversight and

   Judicial Branch: Pray for Supreme Court Justices and Federal Judges
   
   Federal Judge Ada Brown of the Northern District of Texas has placed a
   preliminary injunction on the FTC enforcement of a new rule banning
   non-competes in employment agreements. The judge wrote, “The issue presented
   is whether the FTC’s ability to promulgate rules concerning unfair methods of
   competition include the authority to create substantive rules regarding
   unfair methods of competition.“ 
   
   Pray for federal judges to be discerning as they hear and decide cases
   regarding governmental jurisdiction and authority.

AMERICA’S HISTORY OF FAITH AND PRAYER

 * Issue 656 – Faith and Prayer History
   
   “For we deal here not with the establishment of a state church, which would,
   of course, be constitutionally impermissible, but with whether school
   children who want to begin their day by joining in prayer must be prohibited
   from doing so. Moreover, I think that the Court’s task, in this as in all
   areas of constitutional adjudication, is not responsibly aided by the
   uncritical application of metaphors like the ‘wall of separation,’ a phrase
   nowhere to be found in the Constitution. What is relevant to the issue here
   is not the history of an established church in sixteenth-century England or
   in eighteenth-century America, but the history of the religious traditions of
   our people, reflected in countless practices of the institutions and
   officials of our government.”
   
   – Justice Potter Stewart, dissenting opinion in Engel v. Vitale, 1962

   ADDITIONAL NATIONAL PRAYER NEEDS
   
   Pray for America’s Military
   
   The 3rd Infantry Division is holding exercises to prepare for worldwide
   emergency deployment. Battalion Commander Lt. Colonel Michael Hefti said
   relevant civilian and military personnel are training on a compressed
   timetable.
   
   Pray for U.S. military commanders as they prepare their units and divisions
   for emergency deployment.
   
   PRAY FOR AN END TO THE WAR IN UKRAINE
   
   The Unmanned Systems Forces of the Ukrainian military was established in May,
   joining the country’s army, navy, and air forces. The new force is being
   equipped through an estimated 250 defense startups and secret laboratories,
   some of which are creating killer robots to address manpower shortages.
   
   Pray for Ukrainian and allied leaders as lethal AI systems are created to
   fill combat roles.
   
   Pray for AMERICA’S RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL
   
   Israel and Hamas are reportedly in ceasefire talks mediated by Egypt and
   Qatar and supported by the United States. The proposal would end the war in
   three stages as President Biden outlined six weeks ago.
   
   Pray for the leaders of Israel and Hamas as well as the mediators and U.S.
   officials as they seek a path to end the war in Gaza.
   
   Pray for AMERICA’S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
   
   The Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services
   Administration has announced the Licensure Portability Grant Program to
   create a multi-state social worker licensure compact. The compact allows
   “providers to practice across state lines without having to apply for a
   license in each state… better facilitating hiring and… easing pathways to
   utilizing telehealth.“
   
   Pray for U.S. federal health officials as they seek ways to provide better
   care across state lines.
   
   Pray for Needs Across the States
   
   The New Hampshire state legislature did not pass a bill that would legalize
   recreational marijuana. It is the only New England state that continues
   criminal prohibition of the drug. The state senate had included the state-run
   dispensaries Governor Sununu had requested, which caused the state House to
   kill the measure.
   
   The Nevada secretary of state will soon announce whether or not a Voter ID
   measure officially qualifies to be included on the state’s ballot in
   November. With only 102,000 signatures required, more than 179,000 signatures
   were submitted in support of the election integrity measure being on the
   ballot.
   
   Pray for state leaders and officials as they determine how to address
   challenges that face their respective states.
   
   Pray for America’s Faith Community
   
   “If you look over in First Chronicles chapter thirteen… David conferred with
   each of his officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.
   He then said to the whole assembly of Israel, ‘If it seems good to you, and
   if it is the will of the Lord our God, let us send word far and wide to the
   rest of our brothers throughout the territories of Israel… Let us bring the
   ark of our God back to us, for we did not inquire of it during the reign of
   Saul.‘ There you can see for sure, if you were wondering, Saul never inquired
   of God.
   ‘The whole assembly agreed to do this because it seemed right to all the
   people. So David and all Israel went… to bring up from there the ark of God
   the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim—the ark that is called by the
   Name.‘
   [David] said, ‘Let’s bring the ark up here so we can inquire of God.‘ But he
   made a mistake. He did not inquire of God about how to go about that… All
   this planning and one very important thing he didn’t ask was ‘Well, how
   should we go about this? What should we do?‘ …Great idea, the best of
   intentions here, honor God with the newest and the greatest and the best
   [cart]. Except that God said that the ark was to be carried by hand and only
   by the priests, and only by the poles… They were using the best that THEY had
   to offer… but they weren’t following His instructions.“ – Bill Luebkemann,
   Hope From the Word, July 2024
