Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Psalm 17

Psalm 17

A prayer of David.

1 Hear me, Lord, my plea is just;
    listen to my cry.
Hear my prayer—
    it does not rise from deceitful lips.
2 Let my vindication come from you;
    may your eyes see what is right.

3 Though you probe my heart,
    though you examine me at night and test me,
you will find that I have planned no evil;
    my mouth has not transgressed.
4 Though people tried to bribe me,
    I have kept myself from the ways of the violent
    through what your lips have commanded.
5 My steps have held to your paths;
    my feet have not stumbled.

6 I call on you, my God, for you will answer me;
    turn your ear to me and hear my prayer.
7 Show me the wonders of your great love,
    you who save by your right hand
    those who take refuge in you from their foes.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye;
    hide me in the shadow of your wings
9 from the wicked who are out to destroy me,
    from my mortal enemies who surround me.

10 They close up their callous hearts,
    and their mouths speak with arrogance.
11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,
    with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12 They are like a lion hungry for prey,
    like a fierce lion crouching in cover.

13 Rise up, Lord, confront them, bring them down;
    with your sword rescue me from the wicked.
14 By your hand save me from such people, Lord,
    from those of this world whose reward is in this life.
May what you have stored up for the wicked fill their bellies;
    may their children gorge themselves on it,
    and may there be leftovers for their little ones.

15 As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face;
    when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

It's Saturday Night, and time for Sunday's Thread.

Today was a beautiful Spring Day, and my Sister drove me to my Brother's house, where my motorcycle has been in storage. The crocuses are up, and it's time to fire up the Harley! I turned the key, opened the fuel line, and barely kissed the starter with my thumb. She started right up. Suddenly a ridiculous wave of fear swept over me. I'm 69 years old, overweight, and have been cooped up all winter due to the Lockdown. What if I forgot how to ride? What if I lose control? What if ...? I immediately cast down these vain imaginations and stated firmly:

"This is my 50th YEAR riding, my 30th on a Harley, and my 28th on THIS PARTICULAR MOTORCYCLE! There are 39,000 miles on this bike and they're all mine. Besides, I have a Father in heaven Who loves me!"

Well as soon as first gear was engaged, and the Bike moved forward, it became part of my body, and we moved as one. I gassed up, and drove home. Then I sat on a little piano stool and polished every bit of chrome, and put the bike away for the night. God's timing is perfect. Who would have thought that the little beat-up 68 Honda CB175 on the cobblestone streets of Jamaica Plain MA ( because we couldn't afford a car) would lead to this a half century later?

Psalm 17 is labeled a "Prayer of David", and it is intensely personal. David is pleading with God for vindication. This is not an improper prayer. Impropriety would begin if David sought his own revenge and attempted to vindicate himself without trusting in God.

Sometimes this takes longer than we would like, but when we "jump the gun" and attempt our own revenge or vindication without relying on the Almighty, we are asking for trouble.

While David was on the run from Saul, he had at least two opportunities to just kill Saul and get it over with. In both instances, David's advisors urged him to do that very thing. However, David respected God's anointed both times, and it worked out for the best. David may have had some sins on his soul, but regicide was not one of them.

God's ways are not our ways, and sometimes we find His "timing" to be incomprehensible. And yet, I can look back at events that happened a half-century ago and see how some are coming to fruition just now in my life.

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

Psalm 128

A Song of Ascents.

1 Happy is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways.
2 You shall eat the fruit of the labour of your hands;
you shall be happy, and it shall go well with you.

3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive shoots
around your table.
4 Thus shall the man be blessed
who fears the Lord.

5 The Lord bless you from Zion.
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
6 May you see your children’s children.
Peace be upon Israel!

[SisterK]

Amen

Joining in prayer to lift up the persecuted Christians who live in hostile nations. We lift up the Christians in muslim countries and in communist countries - wherever the culture seeks to extinguish The Word of God.

And Lord, we thank You that so far, we have been able to freely praise Your Name in these United States. Sing praises to the Lord!

In Jesus’ name we do pray.

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

EAR, the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. 2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.

3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.

5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.

6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.

7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.

8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.

10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.

11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;

12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:

14 From men which are thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.

15 As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
