R ealizing His magnificence:

L ive for Him Who died for us each.

R ebellion finally bends its knee,
E ntangled with only one choice to be free.
G race cuts sin’s cords because of His nails;
E mmanuel’s love and victory prevails.
N o one could make the changes He can;
E vil must flee at His mighty hand.
R ighteousness, judgment – these are the facts;
A ll will one day bow before His great acts.
T his is my prayer for the country I love:
I  pray for her people to seek God above.
O nly in doing so can peace be found;
N eglecting Him surely will bring us down.

Havana, Cuba

Pray for the Lord to send out workers to the harvestfield of Havana.

1. Pray for every driver of a VW Bug or a Bicitaxi in Havana to hear the phrase, “Jesus Loves You” sometime this spring, find out what that means, and then believe it.

2. Castillo de la Real Fuerza is the oldest stone fort in the Americas (wikipedia). It was built to protect Havana from pirates, and in English its name means “Castle of the Royal Force.” Spiritually speaking, every Christian should stand as a castle strengthened by the most royal of forces – the King of kings. Pray that believers in Havana will know the good hand of God upon their lives every day, that sin may no more hold dominion.

3. Pray for the providence of God to intervene in the life of a teenager who will stand in one of the pictured doorways above today, pondering the meaning and purpose of his or her existence.

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

He is not here, for He is risen, as He said…” (Matt. 28:6)

For the Christian, there is nothing quite like the triumphant joy of Easter morning. Jesus wins! Sin and death are defeated forever; the victory is eternally the Son’s. Hallelujah!

Below are the lyrics for my favorite Easter hymn, written by Charles Wesley. For today, let’s have all our TGP time focus on the adoration of our great Savior. Also below is a link to a full orchestra and church singing “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today.” Please open the link, turn up the volume loud enough that the music fills your room, and read or sing the words along with them.

1 Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say: Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth, reply: Alleluia!

2 Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Dying once He all doth save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!

3 Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia!
Christ hath opened Paradise, Alleluia!

4 Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!

Lake Huron: North America

Shared by the USA and Canada, Lake Huron could almost hold the state of West Virginia entirely on its surface. Thirty thousand islands rise above the lake’s surface, including the popular vacation destination Mackinac Island. Lake Huron connects to Lake Michigan via the Straits of Mackinac. Lake Huron has more coastline miles than any of the other Great Lakes, and is the world’s fifth largest freshwater lake.

1.   Pray that every person in the water at Lake Huron today will come across something from the Word of God by the end of this summer, and that the Holy Spirit will keep bringing it to their attention.

2.   Pray for a groundskeeper at the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse to himself meet the ultimate Lighthouse Who rescues lives from sin’s shipwrecks.
