Weak Yet Strong
Ten
years ago, Brian Nichols went on a murderous rampage at the Fulton County
Courthouse in downtown Atlanta. He killed four people and injured others. Hours
later, Nichols took Ashley Smith, a widowed young mother, hostage in her
apartment. Smith was struggling with life and with a drug addiction. Yet God
gave her the courage to remain calm during the ordeal. After several hours, she
asked Nichols if she could read the book, The Purpose Driven Life. Nichols
conceded and told her to read it out loud. Eventually, Ashley was able to leave
the apartment and Nichols was arrested.

He gives power to the faint, and to him who
has no might he increases strength.
Isaiah 40:29

“I
really believe that God spared my life because He wanted me to go around the
world and tell people that He changed me,” said Smith. “You know, I didn’t do
anything in my apartment that night but lay down my brokenness to God and He’s
brought me to a very different place in my life in the last 10 years.”
As you spend time with the Lord, ask Him for His unlimited strength during your times of weakness. Pray also that your nation’s leaders will depend on God for their needs.

Paul Ryan Picked by GOP to Replace Boehner as House Speaker

Republicans formally nominated Representative Paul Ryan for Speaker Wednesday,
looking to him to help unify the party after a tumultuous period - although
defections in the ranks could preview some last-minute drama on the House
floor.
The Wisconsin congressman and 2012
GOP vice presidential nominee easily beat rival Representative Daniel Webster
of Florida to become the Republican nominee, with 200 lawmakers backing Ryan
and 43 backing Webster. Ryan will formally stand for a vote in the full House
on Thursday, likely against Democrats’ pick Nancy Pelosi.
"This begins a new day in the
House of Representatives," Ryan said in brief remarks after Wednesday’s
internal vote. While praising outgoing Speaker John Boehner, he vowed to begin
"turning a page." He added, "Our party has lost its vision, and
we are going to replace it with a vision." Ryan as Speaker would mark a
stark change in leadership style from the backslapping Boehner, who plans to retire
shortly after his successor is set in place.

As the Lord leads, please pray:
- For Paul Ryan as he faces the vote of the full House on Thursday in his nomination for Speaker.
- For Paul Ryan who has said his duties as Speaker will not interfere with his family time - and his ability to hold to that promise.
- About the many issues yet to face the House of Representatives and the Ryan leadership style.

We
ask you all to pray for our leaders as the scripture says.

2 For kings, and for all
that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the
sight of God our Saviour;
