Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Just last week People in America observed the "National Day of Prayer". This special day was proclaimed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower 64 years ago and has been an annual opportunity for the Commander-In-Chief to join with America in praying for this nation. Up till very recently, Presidents of both parties have enthusiastically participated in this observance.
Eisenhower is, of course, remembered for D-Day and the subsequent defeat of the Nazis in Europe. He was also President during the height of the Cold War, and knew that one false decision could lead to the annihilation of the whole world. Since we have evidence of a beautiful prayer that he wrote before D-Day, and because of his proclamation of the National Day of Prayer, I think it is safe to assume that he approached God before making decisions that affected his whole country.
In this brief Passage of Scripture, we see David as CIC, fighting for the life of his fledgeling nation against the Philistines. He consults with God before every move, and takes God's direction, with great success. He even "carries off" the idols of the Philistines, emphasizing that the war is "Spiritual" as well as "Political".
Would that our present CIC recognized this Timeless Truth.
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.
Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.
This Symbol Represents Christians in The Middle East, who desperately need our Prayers.
Hallelujah and Amen
