Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

(Music in The Bible)

Psalm 119

Psalm 119[a]

ג Gimel

17 Be good to your servant while I live,
    that I may obey your word.

18 Open my eyes that I may see
    wonderful things in your law.

19 I am a stranger on earth;
    do not hide your commands from me.

20 My soul is consumed with longing
    for your laws at all times.

21 You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed,
    those who stray from your commands.

22 Remove from me their scorn and contempt,
    for I keep your statutes.

23 Though rulers sit together and slander me,
    your servant will meditate on your decrees.

24 Your statutes are my delight;
    they are my counselors.

New International Version (NIV)(End of Scripture Passage)

.

Gimel is the third letter in the Hebrew Alphabet. Every line in this stanza begins with that letter (in Hebrew, of course!) Verse 23 is particularly poignant.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

A popular bumper-sticker of the past 20 years was an anagram "NOTW". It took a while to figure out (which defeats the whole purpose of bumper-stickers) to mean "Not Of This World", and was a declaration that we see in the Gimel Stanza of Psalm 119. The Psalmist declares "I am a stranger on earth...", and when one walks in the Light of God's Grace, this becomes so apparent. It is especially obvious when faced with false accusations and slander when the TRUTH makes so much more sense. There is even an anagram for our reaction to the obvious lies: "SMH". It means "Shaking My Head", and I'm sure you have seen it in texts and comments. It expresses the incredulity that anyone would believe a lie when the Truth is so obvious.

The Third Letter in the Hebrew Alphabet is Gimel. It sounds like the English Letter "G"(hard). Gimel is shaped like a war club, although some think it is a camel, since the word for "camel" in Hebrew is "Gimel"! Either way, it symbolizes strength and endurance in the face of persecution and slander.

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!

Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.

Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.

We pray in particular on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya and throughout the Mideast. The members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, some of which date from the days of the Apostles, suffer under cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors, we are all "Nazarenes."
