Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Book of Proverbs
Chapter 1

The Beginning of Knowledge

1. The Proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
2. To know wisdom and instruction,
To perceive the words of understanding,
3. To receive the instruction of wisdom,
Justice, judgment, and equity;
4. To give prudence to the simple,
To the young man knowledge and discretion—
5. A wise man will hear and increase learning,
And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,
6. To understand a proverb and an enigma,
The words of the wise and their riddles.
7. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Shun Evil Counsel

8. My son, hear the instruction of your father,
And do not forsake the law of your mother;
9. For they will be a graceful ornament on your head,
And chains about your neck.
10. My son, if sinners entice you,
Do not consent.
11. If they say, “Come with us,
Let us lie in wait to shed blood;
Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
12. Let us swallow them alive like Sheol,
And whole, like those who go down to the Pit;
13. We shall find all kinds of precious possessions,
We shall fill our houses with spoil;
14. Cast in your lot among us,
Let us all have one purse”—
15. My son, do not walk in the way with them,
Keep your foot from their path;
16. For their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.
17. Surely, in vain the net is spread
In the sight of any bird;
18. But they lie in wait for their own blood,
They lurk secretly for their own lives.
19. So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;
It takes away the life of its owners.


The Call of Wisdom

20. Wisdom calls aloud outside;
She raises her voice in the open squares.
21. She cries out in the chief concourses,
At the openings of the gates in the city
She speaks her words:
22. “ How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity?
For scorners delight in their scorning,
And fools hate knowledge.
23. Turn at my rebuke;
Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
24. Because I have called and you refused,
I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded,
25. Because you disdained all my counsel,
And would have none of my rebuke,
26. I also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your terror comes,
27. When your terror comes like a storm,
And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you.
28. “ Then they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me.
29. Because they hated knowledge
And did not choose the fear of the LORD,
30. They would have none of my counsel
And despised my every rebuke.
31. Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way,
And be filled to the full with their own fancies.
32. For the turning away of the simple will slay them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33. But whoever listens to me will dwell safely,
And will be secure, without fear of evil.”

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Good Morning, Prayer Warriors! Today We Start The Book of Proverbs. It has 31 Chapters, which will bring us into 2011.

Most of the Book is Attributed to King Solomon, who was offered ANY Gift he wanted from the Almighty. King Solomon Chose WISDOM as his Gift, and we see some of it Here in this Book.

I find it interesting that Solomon chose to Personify Wisdom in this opening Chapter as a Woman, especially in light of how this Book ENDS in the 31st Chapter (Don't Peek!).

A New Adventure For a New Year! Please Pray That Our Nation Will Be Infused with Godly Wisdom as Newly Elected Representatives of the People take Office in January. And Of Course, Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem! May You Prosper Who Love Her.
To Our Christian FRiends, a Precious and Holy Advent Season to You.

The battle is still raging and the most powerful weapon will be used until ordered to cease.

Psalm 94

God the Avenger of the Righteous

1 O Lord, you God of vengeance,
you God of vengeance, shine forth!
2 Rise up, O judge of the earth;
give to the proud what they deserve!
3 O Lord, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked exult?

4 They pour out their arrogant words;
all the evildoers boast.
5 They crush your people, O Lord,
and afflict your heritage.
6 They kill the widow and the stranger,
they murder the orphan,
7 and they say, ‘The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.’

8 Understand, O dullest of the people;
fools, when will you be wise?
9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
10 He who disciplines the nations,
he who teaches knowledge to humankind,
does he not chastise?
11 The Lord knows our thoughts,*
that they are but an empty breath.

12 Happy are those whom you discipline, O Lord,
and whom you teach out of your law,
13 giving them respite from days of trouble,
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not forsake his people;
he will not abandon his heritage;
15 for justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Who stands up for me against evildoers?
17 If the Lord had not been my help,
my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.
18 When I thought, ‘My foot is slipping’,
your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up.
19 When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul.
20 Can wicked rulers be allied with you,
those who contrive mischief by statute?
21 They band together against the life of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent to death.
22 But the Lord has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.
23 He will repay them for their iniquity
and wipe them out for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will wipe them out.

Heavenly Father may you continue to bring an overwhelming, crushing defeat on the forces of darkness in our nation, may you smash every crooked deed they try to hold onto power and may this be so convincing that everyone knows that your hand is in this. Then we may bring the light of your Gospel to the nations as you did this time in history:

Psalm 110

Assurance of Victory for God’s Priest-King
Of David. A Psalm.

1 The Lord says to my lord,
‘Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.’

2 The Lord sends out from Zion
your mighty sceptre.
Rule in the midst of your foes.
3 Your people will offer themselves willingly
on the day you lead your forces
on the holy mountains.*
From the womb of the morning,
like dew, your youth* will come to you.
4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind,
‘You are a priest for ever according to the order of Melchizedek.’*

5 The Lord is at your right hand;
he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
6 He will execute judgement among the nations,
filling them with corpses;
he will shatter heads
over the wide earth.
7 He will drink from the stream by the path;
therefore he will lift up his head.

To the young man
