Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Book of Proverbs

Chapter 3

Guidance for the Young

1. My son, do not forget my law,
But let your heart keep my commands;
2. For length of days and long life
And peace they will add to you.
3. Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart,
4. And so find favor and high esteem
In the sight of God and man.
5. Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6. In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
7. Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and depart from evil.
8. It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones.
9. Honor the LORD with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10. So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
11. My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,
Nor detest His correction;
12. For whom the LORD loves He corrects,
Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
13. Happy is the man who finds wisdom,
And the man who gains understanding;
14. For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver,
And her gain than fine gold.
15. She is more precious than rubies,
And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her.
16. Length of days is in her right hand,
In her left hand riches and honor.
17. Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
18. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her,
And happy are all who retain her.
19. The LORD by wisdom founded the earth;
By understanding He established the heavens;
20. By His knowledge the depths were broken up,
And clouds drop down the dew.
21. My son, let them not depart from your eyes—
Keep sound wisdom and discretion;
22. So they will be life to your soul
And grace to your neck.
23. Then you will walk safely in your way,
And your foot will not stumble.
24. When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.
25. Do not be afraid of sudden terror,
Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;
26. For the LORD will be your confidence,
And will keep your foot from being caught.
27. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,
When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
28. Do not say to your neighbor,

“ Go, and come back,
And tomorrow I will give it,”
When you have it with you.
29. Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
For he dwells by you for safety’s sake.
30. Do not strive with a man without cause,
If he has done you no harm.
31. Do not envy the oppressor,
And choose none of his ways;
32. For the perverse person is an abomination to the LORD,
But His secret counsel is with the upright.
33. The curse of the LORD is on the house of the wicked,
But He blesses the home of the just.
34. Surely He scorns the scornful,
But gives grace to the humble.
35. The wise shall inherit glory,
But shame shall be the legacy of fools.

This We Do Know.
In Your Word You made a Covenant With Abraham.
You Renewed With With Isaac, and Jacob,
And the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

and Your Promise,
We Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem.
We Trust in You With All Our Hearts,
Even Though Our Own "Understanding" Fights against it.
Our Hope is in You, Father,
Not in the media,
not in celebrity,

not in the rulers of this world,
and not in riches.
We Thank you for this place where we can gather together for this purpose,
and I pray for all who come here in Peace,
that they may be Blessed.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

The Third Chapter of Proverbs has a Very Famous Verse, (5 through7), that looks excellent on Mugs and T-Shirts. However, It is VERY DIFFICULT to Follow! After all, we are intelligent people; why SHOULDN'T we "Lean on Our Own Understanding?"

Yet, Here it is, Over and Over. I Found thousands of Graphics with this Scripture emblazoned upon it.

How EASY to Quote!
How difficult to follow.

It is not easy to Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem Each and Every Day. It Defies Logic in the Face of World Events. There are even those in our own families who think we are Nuts to do this.

Yet We trust in The LORD with All Our Heart,
And Lean Not Upon Our Own Understanding.
In All Our Ways Acknowledge HIM.
And He Shall Direct Our Path.

Come and Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem, And For Our Own Beloved Nation.
