No Weapon Formed Against You Shall Prosper

A while back I blogged about the Davis family in the post "Quick Request". In case you don't want go back and reread, the Davis family is trying to adopt a little boy named Kirill from Eastern Russia, but because Kirill has Down Syndrome the judge did not feel that he is fit to be adopted. In short, the judge doesn't think he deserves a chance at life. I'm not even going to get into how that makes my blood boil. I'm sure most if not all of you feel the same way. Well the Davis family appealed, and they are set to appear before the Supreme Court judge in Russia at 6:10 a.m. (Central Standard Time) Tuesday morning. You can read more about the details and their family here.

I am asking you to join me and hundreds, if not thousands, of others in prayer for this family. We are praying that God will move on the heart of the judge and Kirill will be released to go home with his family. If at all possible, I ask for you to stop whatever you are doing at 6:10 a.m. (again that's CST) Tuesday morning and pray for this family and for little Kirill. It may mean getting up a few minutes earlier or setting your alarm for a time you're accustomed to waking up, but I believe it is well worth it. I also ask that you be in prayer throughout the rest of the weekend and on Monday. I believe that God can and will move mightily in this situation. I have no doubt that it is His will that this little boy be placed with a loving family.

Isaiah 54:17 (New King James Version)

¹⁷ No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
      And every tongue which rises against you in judgment
      You shall condemn.
      This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
      And their righteousness is from Me,”
      Says the LORD.

Isaiah 1:17 (New International Version)

¹⁷ Learn to do right; seek justice.
   Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless;    plead the case of the widow.

Deuteronomy 31:8 (New King James Version)

⁸ And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”
