"But you will not leave in haste or go in flight; for the LORD will go before you, the God of Israel will be your rear guard."

Isaiah 52:12

As we complete the first week of the fast for the men of our region, let us thank God that when He is bringing a new thing He goes before us, and He is our rear guard.  We do not have to do anything in haste, wondering if it is right, but seek the Lord in all things and obey and He will bless the work of our hands and protect the spiritual changes He has brought about. 

Lord, as we go forward, protect that which has already been done in Your Name and cast away all things that set themselves up against you.  We ask for continued blessings and strength in this fast and in our lives as we continue to seek you for the blessing and breakthrough of the men of our region. 

In Jesus Mighty, Matchless Name We Pray, Amen
