   working. Exhausted by everyday responsibilities. The unending demands draw us   
   dry! But when we live in relationship with God, He provides springs of living   
   water within our hearts to refresh and refuel us no matter how many cares   
   and concerns try to drain us.   
      
   Reflect & Pray   
      
   What tasks deplete and drain you? How can you take a break from   
   your daily tasks to experience God's filling Spirit within you?   
      
   Dear God, thank You for dwelling in me by   
   Your Spirit. May I continually draw from the living springs You provide.

   Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 1 Call to the Lord - 2 Samuel 22:3-4   
      
   3 (Ge 15:1; Ps 9:9) the God of my strength, in whom I will trust;   
   my shield and the horn of my salvation,   
   my fortress and my sanctuary;   
   my Savior, You save me from violence.   
   4 (Ps 48:1; 96:4) I call upon the Lord, who is praiseworthy,   
   and I am saved from my enemies.   
      
   3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust:   
   He is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge,   
   My saviour; thou savest me from violence.   
   4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised:   
   So shall I be saved from mine enemies.   
      
   In the old Days of Television Western, we could always tell who the enemy was.   
   The bad guys wore black hats; the evil villain had a scar across   
   his cheek or a patch over one eye. But real life is   
   not quite so simple . Enemies come in many forms, and often are not easy to   
   recognise. Sin is an enemy; even those we love can seek   
   to undermine our faith;   
   modern materialism and distorted values lead us away from biblical principles.   
   These enemies may not seek our death in a physical sense,   
   but their influence results in spiritual death or, at the very least,   
   immaturity.   
   Yet God promises to rescue us from our enemies. David describes the Lord as a   
   "rock", a "shield", a "stronghold", and a "refuge". God provides a stable   
   foundation for our faith; he products us from the attacks of the enemy;   
   he offers a place of rest in battle.   
   Our battles are usually not physical ones, but rather spiritual   
   and emotional wars.   
   We struggle with difficult relationships, the burdens of the past,   
   the subtle accusations of the devil.   
   But these enemies can be overcome. David says,   
   "I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise" .   
   When we turn to the Lord, trust his Word, acknowledge his   
   worthiness, we put our own problems and difficulties in perspective.   
   We see that God is able to rescue us, and has promised to do so.   
   And as we respond to his grace by focusing   
   on him, we abandon trust in ourselves and allow him to do what he promised.   
      
   Application   
      
   a) What kinds of enemies do I face?   
      
   b) How have I tried to deal with those enemies by myself?   
      
   c) How can today's verses help me turn to the sources of my rescue?   
      
   4) Prosperity verses from Kenneth Copeland   
      
   Joshua 1:8   
      
   8 (Ps 19:14; 119:15) This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth.   
   Meditate on it day and night so that you may act carefully according to all   
   that is written in it. For then you will make your way successful,   
   and you will be wise.   
      
   8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt   
   meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according   
   to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,   
   and then thou shalt have good success.   
      
   5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:   
      
   When you are discouraged or Depressed   
      
   Matthew 11:25-30   
      
   25 (Ps 8:2; Jn 11:41) At that time Jesus said, "I thank You, O Father,   
   Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things   
   from the wise and prudent and revealed them to infants.   
   26 Even so, Father, for it seemed good in Your sight.   
   27 (Jn 10:15; Mt 28:18; Jn 1:18) "All things are delivered to Me   
   by My Father, and no one knows the Son, except the Father.   
   And no one knows the Father, except the Son and he to whom   
   the Son will reveal Him.   
   28 (Jn 7:37; 6:37) "Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavily   
   burdened, and I will give you rest.   
   29 (Jer 6:16; Jn 13:15) Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me.   
   For I am meek and lowly in heart,   
   and you will find rest for your souls.(Jer 6:16).   
   30 (1Jn 5:3) For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light."   
   because He has dealt bountifully with me.   
      
   The Hidden Revelation   
   25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father,   
   Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things   
   from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.   
   26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.   
   27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man   
   knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father,   
   save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.   
   28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden,   
   and I will give you rest.   
   29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek   
   and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.   
   30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.   
      
   Remember God's promises when You pray   
      
   The Lord's prayer   
      
   Matthew 6:9-13   
      
   9 "Therefore pray in this manner:   
   Our Father who is in heaven,   
   hallowed be Your name.   
   10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;   
   Your will be done   
   on earth, as it is in heaven.   
   11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.   
   12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,   
   as we forgive our debtors.   
   13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,   
   but deliver us from evil.   
   For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."   
      
   9 After this manner therefore pray ye:   
   Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.   
   10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.   
   11 Give us this day our daily bread.   
   12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.   
   13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:   
   For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
