Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

(Music in The Bible)

Psalm 84

Psalm 84[a]

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
    Lord Almighty!
2 My soul yearns, even faints,
    for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh cry out
    for the living God.
3 Even the sparrow has found a home,
    and the swallow a nest for herself,
    where she may have her young—
a place near your altar,
    Lord Almighty, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house;
    they are ever praising you.[c]

5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
    whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka,
    they make it a place of springs;
    the autumn rains also cover it with pools.[d]
7 They go from strength to strength,
    till each appears before God in Zion.

8 Hear my prayer, Lord God Almighty;
    listen to me, God of Jacob.
9 Look on our shield,[e] O God;
    look with favor on your anointed one.

10 Better is one day in your courts
    than a thousand elsewhere;
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
    than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
    the Lord bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
    from those whose walk is blameless.

12 Lord Almighty,
    blessed is the one who trusts in you.

Our Father Who Art in Heaven,
Magnified and Sanctified
Is Your Most Holy Name!
How Blessed Are You,
Oh LORD, Our God,
King of The Universe,
Who Has Brought Us To This Day!
We Come into Your Presence With Singing
And into Your Courts With Praise,
For You Alone Are Worthy,
You Alone Are LORD;
You Alone Are The Host High;
You Alone Are The LORD of Hosts;
And You Alone Hold The Power of Life and Death in Your Hand.

How Beautiful is Your Dwelling Place, Oh LORD!
From the tiniest atom,
To the Most Massive Singularities in Space,
Every Minute Detail of Creation Resonates With Your Glory!

Abba Father, Our Lives are a Pilgrimage.
Teach us Daily to rely upon you.
You Provide every sparrow with its nest,
Every little creature with its home.
How much more so,
For Those You Have Created in Your Image?
Teach us to Look to You For All Our Needs.

For the Sake of Your Anointed,
and For The Sake of Your Name,
We pray for the Peace of Jerusalem,
For Israel,
According to Your Word,
and Your Promise.

We Pray For Our President,
And other Leaders of Our Beloved USA
May They Receive Wisdom from You

Blessed Be He,
To Establish His Kingdom,
and Make All Things Right.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

I love books. I love History. I love Archaeology. And you KNOW I love the Bible! So when a book comes along with a Templar Cross on its cover, a banner saying "Best Seller!", and over 500 pages, you know I am going to jump right on it. Not only that, the book was only a dollar at the Dollar Tree, so what could possibly go wrong?

Well, it started out OK, but then there were quite a few cringe-worthy bits that set off alarms. The similarity to "The Da Vinci Code" (which I despised) was starting to get to me. Then the book body-slammed into a anti-God, anti-Christian, anti-religion speech that went on and on and would have made John Galt blush. "OK. THAT'S ENOUGH!" I said out loud and into the trash can it went. It was not even fit to donate to the Thrift Store. I think I will just re-read Moby Dick, as it has been a while.

Psalm 84 is a thing of beauty. It can be read over and over again, bringing fresh insights and comfort each time. It is a song of longing for the Presence of God, so powerful in its emotional impact, that the Psalmist envies the birds who can fly right into the Sanctuary and build their nests in the aura of God's Glory. The juxtaposition of God and His Creation recalls the same longing as Psalm 42, comparing it to a Deer in the forest panting for water.

Some scholars theorize that this Psalm was written by a Levite who could no longer minister in the Sanctuary because of the Assyrian or Babylonian Invasion. It is beautifully crafted, with 3 Stanzas and a magnificent Coda. Even in English Translations, it has a rhythm and personality, and also some beautiful descriptive Names of God. I would rather read this Psalm than a God-hating NYT Best Seller, just as:

I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

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

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR
THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
And for the Preservation of the Valiant
Israeli Nation!

_

OW amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! 2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.

5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.

6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.

8 O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.

9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.

10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

12 O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

OK. You can read the 1-star reviews on Amazon describing it as anti-Christian garbage.

https://www.amazon.com/product-reviews/B000PC71UA/ref=acr_dp_hist_1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&reviewerType=all_reviews#reviews-filter-bar

I tend to look at reviews before ever purchasing or watching something along these lines. Of course, if it was in the dollar bin, that might’ve been a warning sign ! :-P

[etabeta]

Adding my prayers. God bless.

[left that other site]

Well, the Dollar Bin should have been a dead giveaway! Ha Ha Ha

And, I assume, the one-star reviews were somewhat similar to mine. :-)

[Hiskid]

Amen.

[left that other site]

Ha Ha! I just went to your link and read all of the one-star reviews. They were even more acerbic and nasty than MINE! Ha Ha. Thanks for that. :-)

I read all the one-star reviews on “Good Reads” and they weren’t nearly as “descriptive”!

Anybody who writes a screed that looks pro-Christian only to try to smash it ought to be roasted to the temperature of Hades.

A bad sign was that De Niro wanted said author to write a screenplay for his movie.

Well, that’s not for me to decide, but it will probably happen just as you say (the Hades part!)
