Proverbs 21:30-31
Meditation:
- We do not pursue the worldly wisdom, but desire the spiritual wisdom bestowed by God! (Job 12:2-3, 13-17; James 3:13-18) Pray to the Lord for giving us spiritual wisdom to see things through His eyes!
- Pray to the Lord to illuminate and reveal the darkness in our lives (even in the church) (12:22), so that we can recognize and confess our sins for those things, pray for forgiveness and mercy, and repent!
- The life God has given us is the life of “being born again after death ” (1 Corinthians 15:36,50). How can we put our carnal body to death so that we can experience renewal and revival together?
- Pray for the Lord to give us unity. Let’s come to God together for these things.

- Do the words from my mouth really comfort and buildup others? Or do they make others more depressed? (Job 17:10,18:1-2,19:2) What can I do in order to make myself as a mouthpiece of God?
- Have I offered my best to God? (1 Corinthians 16:1-2) Why?

Meditation:
- The Lord has reigned since eternity (Psalm 93:1-2). What things did I not let Him be in control of in my life?
- If God is in control of everything in my life (and in the church), how will our situation be different? Why didn’t it happen?
- The key it turns out is whether I truly regard the Almighty as my treasure and receive Him as my joy! (Job 20:25-26) If I did, surrendering before God should not be a problem at all!
- Paul did not rely on himself in his tribulations, but only on the God who raised the dead (2 Corinthians 1:9). When confronting the pandemic and difficulties in our family and church, ask God to give us the same faith!

Abba’s Heart Scripture:
Psalm 94:1-11

Job 23:1-27:23
2 Corinthians 1:12-2:11
Proverbs 22:5-6
Meditation:
- The wicked and perverted are running rampant in the world, but God did not stop them at all. Is He doing things unfairly? (Psalm 94:1-7) Do we complain or even have doubt in our hearts whether God is truly indifferent and unconcerned? (Psalm 94:7; Job 23:8-9) Is there such a feeling in my heart?
- But God knows fully (Job 23:3-6) and when the world cannot see, He sees. God will provide a way out for us (and the church) (24:22-23). He is in full control of our lives (and all things in the church) for eternity (25:2-3). After enduring trials, we will be like fine gold. (23:10) But do I really think so?
- Therefore, all we can boast about is God’s holiness and integrity, and the guarantee of the Holy Spirit, so that God may be glorified in us. (2 Corinthians 1:12, 20-22)

Day 5
Day 5
Abba’s Heart Scripture:
Psalm 94:12-23
Job 28:1-30:31
2 Corinthians 2:12-17
Proverbs 22:7
Meditation:Because of love, God sustains and disciplines us so that we (and the church) can experience peace anew and know that He is our fortress and refuge. (Psalm 94:12-19,22)
Because I lack wisdom, I don’t understand, but God is always the One who gives us (and the church) the wisdom we need (Job 28:18-28).
God still shines upon us (and upon the church) and is with us. He bestows glory and blessings (29:2-8) so that we can also be a blessing and help to others (29:15-17).
Although we are walking through the valley of death (30: 1, 9-23), we do not harbor complaint. On the contrary, we believe that God will open doors for us (and for the church) so that we can triumph in the Lord, whether perished or alive, and hence, the fragrance of Christ will continue to emanate (2 Corinthians 2:12-17) and the name of Jesus be glorified. Do I have this faith?
Psalm 94:12-23
Job 28:1-30:31
2 Corinthians 2:12-17
Proverbs 22:7
Meditation:
Please pray for the future direction of the church, for yourself and your family. Please write down how God has touched you!
