Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Book of Proverbs

(Proverbs 9)

Invitations of Wisdom and Folly

9 Wisdom has built her house;

    she has set up[a] its seven pillars.

2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine;

    she has also set her table.

3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls

    from the highest point of the city,

4     “Let all who are simple come to my house!”

To those who have no sense she says,


5     “Come, eat my food

    and drink the wine I have mixed.


6 Leave your simple ways and you will live;

    walk in the way of insight.”

7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;

    whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.

8 Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you;

    rebuke the wise and they will love you.

9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;

    teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.


10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,

    and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

11 For through wisdom[b] your days will be many,

    and years will be added to your life.

12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;

    if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.

13 Folly is an unruly woman;

    she is simple and knows nothing.

14 She sits at the door of her house,

    on a seat at the highest point of the city,

15 calling out to those who pass by,

    who go straight on their way,

16     “Let all who are simple come to my house!”

To those who have no sense she says,

17     “Stolen water is sweet;

    food eaten in secret is delicious!”

18 But little do they know that the dead are there,

    that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Sometimes I struggle with the insatiable need to "fix" things. In fact I am struggling with that very situation right now in my life with someone.

I have even seen that happen in exchanges between people right here on this website. And sometimes I have been a party to it!

Today, as I was preparing Our Thread, THIS jumped out at me:

7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults;

 whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.

8 Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you;

 rebuke the wise and they will love you.

9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;

 teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.


10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,

 and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

11 For through wisdom your days will be many,

 and years will be added to your life.

12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;

 if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.

God calls us to be peacemakers, but only as far as it is in our power to do so. We can forgive in our hearts, but sometimes our own overt actions to "correct the situation" will backfire. Then it is up to God to touch the hearts of those who have wronged us, and thus bring about reconciliation.

Much has been written about the "Seven Pillars of Wisdom". Lawrence of Arabia even named his memoirs after them. Some of today's illustrations will contain various interpretations of what those Pillars contain.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR
THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
And for the Preservation of the Valiant
Israeli Nation!

ISDOM hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: 2 She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. 3 She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,

4 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

5 Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

6 Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

7 He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

8 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

11 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

12 If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

13 A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

14 For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

15 To call passengers who go right on their ways:

16 Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

17 Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

18 But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

We pray in particular on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya and throughout the Mideast. The members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, some of which date from the days of the Apostles, suffer under cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors, we are all "Nazarenes."

[Ezekiel]

rebuke the wise and they will love you. 9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still;


 Psalm 141:5 is a weird verse, but makes sense in the context of these proverbs.

Psalms 141:5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

As if to David, a righteous correction is anointing oil.

Amen.

Again we pray:Say to Aaron and his sons, This is the way you shall bless the Israelites. Say to them, The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you; The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you; The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually). And they shall put My name upon the Israelites, and I will bless them. (Numbers 6:23-27 AMP)
