Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Meditating Upon The Names and Attributes of God
"YHVH Machsi - The LORD My Refuge"
(Old Testament)
Psalm 91:9
9 If you say, The Lord is my refuge,
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
(End of Scripture Passage)
"YHVH Machsi - The LORD My Refuge"
During Hurricane Katrina, there were some who objected to the term "REFUGEE" for those who were seeking shelter. Nowadays, there is a new group of people who call themselves "Refugees" but are not. Perhaps they are "Migrants", or even "Invaders", but they are not "people seeking refuge".
In reality, the hurricane victims are more "refugees" than the migrants, because a "Refuge" is a Place where one can go to be sheltered, protected, nurtured, and kept in tender care. It is a Place of Peace, a Place of Comfort, and a Place of Affirmation.
There is no shame in seeking a Refuge, and we are ALL "Refugees" at one time or another.
Again and Again, The Psalmist calls God his "Refuge". This is in direct opposition with the gods of the ancient pagan world, who never offer Refuge, but merely demand appeasement.
I would rather be a refugee in the Presence of YHVH Machsi, than to be the most powerful dictator on Earth!
We pray for the Repentance, Restoration, and Renewal of Our Beloved Nation.
If you say, The Lord is my refuge,
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Sorry for the lateness of Today's meditation, but I am struggling with a sinus problem, and had trouble getting up this morning. As soon as I booted up the computer, I saw the news that Rev. Billy Graham has passed away. I would like to share two memories I have of this good man.
In 1982, the Billy Graham Crusade (and YES! we can still say that word "Crusade"!) came to Boston for a week of services at Boston University's Nickerson Field, an outdoor venue near Kenmore Square in Boston. My little sister and I decided that we would like to be in the Choir signed up. Although there was adequate public transportation, we eschewed that in favor of riding two-up on a rather small and well-used 1978 Honda CB350 Motorcycle. We were required to attend a four hour rehearsal with the renowned Cliff Barrows, whose job it was to train 3000 diverse, untrained vocalists into a professional choir. The rehearsal was wonderful, exhilarating, and inspiring, and I learned a few techniques which I STILL teach to my vocal students.
The Big Week went off without a hitch, with night after night of beautiful music, testimony, and wonderful preaching by Dr. Graham. Hundreds of People came forward, and I remember that each one was directed to ministries nearby for continued nurturing in their new faith. This was not "hit and run" evangelism, as some have alleged over the years. On the last night, it rained, but it didn't matter. As every other night before, my sis and I donned our helmets, and she hopped on the bike behind me and we rode the wet, dark, streets of Boston back to our homes in Roslindale (about 12 city miles away) It was an blessing that I will never forget.
The other memory of Billy Graham was actually that of my Mom, who never watched the Crusades on TV, nor did she think much of him. However, after attending my Brother-In-Law's Graduation from Gordon-Conwell Seminary, Mom couldn't speak highly enough about him. Dr. Graham had been the Keynote Speaker at the Ceremony, and had spoken much longer than his allotted time. However, the audience couldn't get enough of him! Mom sat riveted to his speech for the entire time, and I think it may have changed her perspective on life.
Anyway, Thank You, Billy Graham for enriching our lives in this way, Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant of Christ!
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

That was a 1973 CB350, not a 1978. Sorry.

His legacy continues with the ministry of his son. I cannot stand televangelists but BG was in a separate class, charismatic in a humble way and so sincere, one could tell of his great faith.
Joining in prayer. God bless.

“”Anyway, Thank You, Billy Graham for enriching our lives in this way, Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant of Christ!””

What a thrill to go to a Billy Graham Crusade!
I woke up to the news of Reverend Graham’s passing. I remember when he turned 95, he had a heart and burden of our nation to turn back to God. That’s what keeps me on the prayer threads.
