Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father,
Who Art in Heaven,
How Blessed,
How Glorious,
How Wonderful,
Is Your Most Holy Name!
How Mighty and Perfect is Your Word,
And Your Promise,
Which You have allowed us a glimpse
into Your Perfect Will!
You, The Everlasting,
The Omnipotent,
The Immortal and Eternal,
Not Bound By Time or Space,
because You Created it,
Your Ways are not our ways,
And yet we hunger and thirst for You,
like a thirsty little deer panting in the forest,
seeking a bubbling spring for a fresh sip of water!

Thank You, Abba Father,
For Being Our Hiding Place,
Our Deliverer,
Our Rock,
and Our Redeemer!
Fill Our Days With Songs Of Deliverance,
For Ourselves,
Our Families,
Our Nation,
and For Your People Israel!

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins of Our Own Nation as well,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Hallelujah and Amen

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

After reading Today's Passage once, I had to go back and read it again. WHICH Kingdom were we talking about? The Northern or Southern? Israel of Judah? This particular king was so bad, he couldn't have possibly been of the House of David, could he? Not only did he engage in idolatry, like some kings before him, he actually sacrificed his own son to a fiery Ba'al statue. Not only that, he looted the Temple Treasury to bribe the Assyrian enemy not to attack, and then went to the enemy in Damascus to get some designs for a new pagan altar to deliberately defile the Temple of God.

Why doesn't God just ZOT him and get it over with!

Well, of course, the answer to my rant is right here in the text:

"20 Ahaz rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. And Hezekiah his son succeeded him as king."

God made a promise to David. Some of God's Covenants required actions on both sides, such as the Mosaic Covenant's Blessings and Curses. But God's Covenant with David was unilateral. God promised a Savior from the line of David. For this to happen, the House of David had to continue through the centuries, no matter how awful each succeeding king was. Ahaz was just about as bad as he could be. But his son, Hezekiah, would be a different story.

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

The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance! (Psalm 33)

God Bless America!
