PRAY FOR THE PERSECUTORS

       Hot day today.  Supposed to reach 90.  We'll survive.  I just like cold weather better is all.  My lone weekday off.  Thursdays and Sundays.  Kinda disjointed, but it is what it is.  Pups are snoozing behind me on the bed.  Marty is snoring ... < chuckle - smile > ... get that dog a CPAP machine. (lol)
       In light of all the persecution that is going on in the world today, we must pray for the persecutors, that they may find Christ.  I only need to look in Acts to find a biblical example of a persecutor being challenged by God.  Paul witnessed the stoning of Stephen and was diametrically opposed to all the fledgling believers adhered to.  It took being knocked to the ground and struck blind by none other than Jesus Himself.  That will get your attention.  The rest is chronicled in the NT.  I've heard that some of the members of ISIS had actually turned to Christ.  I have no confirmation of that, but since Christ is greater than any force that might attempt to come against Him, I can certainly believe it.  Those who have died for their faith have fought the good fight and are now home.  All that awaits the persecutors of the faith is a lake of fire.  They are unaware of this so it is our responsibility to pray for them that they would come to know Christ in all His glory.  May God's good and perfect will be done. rlkeller
