Word to Him Who Halts

"I will save her that halteth" (Zephaniah 3:19).

There are plenty of these lame ones, both male and female. You may meet "her
that halteth" twenty times in an hour. They are in the right road and
exceedingly anxious to run in it with diligence, but they are lame and make a
sorry walk of it. On the heavenly road there are many cripples. It may be that
they say in their hearts -- What will become of us? Sin will overtake us; Satan
will throw us down. Ready-to-halt is our name and our nature; the LORD can
never make good soldiers of us, nor even nimble messengers to go on His
errands. Well, well! He will save us, and that is no small thing. He says, "I
will save her that halteth." In saving us He will greatly glorify Himself.
Everybody will ask -- How came this lame woman to run the race and win the
crown? And then the praise will all be given to almighty grace.

LORD, though I halt in faith, in prayer, in praise, in service, and in
patience, save me, I beseech Thee! Only Thou canst save such a cripple as I am.
LORD, let me not perish because I am among the hindmost, but gather up by Thy
grace the slowest of Thy pilgrims -- even me. Behold He hath said it shall be
so, and therefore, like Jacob, prevailing in prayer, I go forward though my
sinew be shrunk.

Prayers for July 12, 2005
From The Voice of the Martyrs

INDIA (religionjournal.com)

Police have arrested five more in connection with the murders of two Christian
ministers in Andrha Pradesh state, bringing the total to seven militant Hindus
connected to the killings. They admitted to the killings, saying they were
emboldened to make these attacks by a high court ruling in the state of Orissa,
that had revoked a death sentence given for the 1999 attack, in which
Australian missionary Graham Staines and his two sons were burned to death. The
ringleader's death sentence was commuted to a life sentence. Dave Stravers of
Mission India says they expect the persecution to continue because the gospel
is being received all over India in openness and ways that it was never
received before, causing a violent reaction from Hindus.

Pray God will give hope and courage to all those in India who are following the
gospel of Jesus Christ. Pray God will have mercy on the Hindus and reveal His
Son to them.

(Compass Direct)
During the month of June, Hindu extremists launched a series of violent attacks
against Catholics in India, causing concern among the Catholic community. Ten
young men attacked a Catholic convent in Rajgir, Bihar state, on June 21st,
fleeing with valuables and cash. Two weeks earlier a group of men broke into a
convent in Raxaul, also in Bihar, demanding cash and seriously injuring an
elderly nun. On the same night, a convent in Sokho village, southeast Bihar was
attacked. Other incidents were reported in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa
and Kerala states. The Catholic Bishops' Conference of India has appealed to
central and state governments to take action against the perpetrators.

Pray God will comfort the hearts of all who were attacked and give them the
grace to forgive. Give thanks and praise to God that no one was killed. Pray
the attackers will repent and come to know the One who can give them eternal
forgiveness.
