Isaiah 25:6-9, ESV On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of His people He will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken. It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
Take a few minutes and thank God for this promise He has made to His people: death will be swallowed up forever. Praise Him because He has come to those who have waited for Him. Pray that the global church will be in awe of her Savior and that believers will want to share the good news with people who have never heard.
Over 14,000 Olympians and Paralympians from at least 200 countries are preparing to compete for a medal in Paris. Pray that they will want to receive the greatest prize of knowing Jesus and placing their hope in Him. Pray that our teams can link those who receive Christ or express interest in the gospel to healthy churches and believers in their home countries.
Athletics and swimming are some of the most viewed events in the summer Olympics. The South African Olympic team will be strong contenders in these events, as well as in boxing. The book of Jude exhorts us to contend for our faith, standing firm in the battle. Pray that the believers in South Africa will stand firm against the schemes of the evil one. Pray that they will take every opportunity to proclaim the gospel both near and far.
Use these resources to help pray specifically each day.
