Evotions: Look for acts of faithfulness to the unfaithful as an opportunity, Evotion.

Join us in committed prayer on Tuesday for world leadership. I am calling you to prayer. I am compelling you to prayer.

In an uncertain time where Syria, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Tunisia, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Korea, Israel, Japan, the United States and other nations have such daily turmoil, leadership must rule with wisdom.

I will be personally in prayer with many legislators here in Oklahoma during the noon hour.

During the day, I plan to be in prayer for hours for leadership across the world.

This is a wonderful time to show forth the glory of God.

Faithful Son

Matthew 10:2: Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3: Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 4: Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 5: These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Knowing that Judas would betray Him, knowing that Israel would reject Him for thousands of years, and knowing that these men would weaken at important moments, Jesus committed His future works into their hands. Being faithful even when we know people will not act according to our desire is important. When you connect with Jesus, you connect with a faithful Son. He is faithful to us when we are faithless. He is faithful to His people, when they reject Him. He is faithful to all who come to Him.

Some years back, I had a staff member that looked to be nothing but problematic. His prior manager had huge and continuous problems with his work quality. Other workers did not like to work with him. He was belligerent.

Working with his immediate team leader, we came up with a plan. As we began to speak confidence to him in his abilities and his future, his work changed. After a few years, he became a stellar staff member and was promoted to an advanced standing. It all started with being faithful to him, when he wasn't faithful to us.

ACT! Pick an unlikely person today on whom you rely and speak a word of confidence in them.

PRAY! Father of my Lord, Christ, build in me this unwavering faithfulness. Help me to be faithful to those who rely on me and on whom I rely. Show me specific ways to build and encourage and show them there is trust even though they may fail at times.
