Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Teach Me, Oh LORD, Your Precepts
Tell Me of Wisdom and Creativity
That Can Only Come From Studying Your Word.
Torah is Lovely, Oh LORD! How Precious Are Your Precepts!
Teach Me Your Word Day By Day,
That I May Hide It Deeply Within My Heart of Hearts.
Terror flees Away, and Cowers before You, as I
Temperately Accept Your Yoke of Correction.
Triumph is Yours, For You Are The Way,
The Truth and The Life.
Temptation is Dealt with by The Wisdom Of Your Word.
Truth is Triumphant.
Time Will Prove Your Word
To All Who Seek You.

Let All That Has Been Concealed,
Be Revealed.

LORD, We Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Beseech You on Behalf of Our Captive Brethren,
Christians and Jews,
In Bondage in Hostile lands.

We Pray For Our Beloved USA
We Ask That Your People Receive Wisdom from You
To do the Right Thing.
We Pray For The Swift and Sure Coming of Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Establish 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

There is a huge gulf of difference between a "Wise Man" and a "Wise Guy".

A "Wise Man" often speaks few words, but each one is a gem. The "Wise Man" usually doesn't offer advice unless ASKED for it, and then, can solve a difficult problem with a few well-chosen words. Sometimes, the "Wise Man" will answer a question with another question, and will cause the seeker to look more deeply into himself for the solution. "Wise Men" are rare and precious, and should always be treated with respect.

The "Wise Guy", on the other hand, is usually quite intelligent, but is unsure of his impact on the world. His many words, often inappropriate, are designed to call attention to himself, rather than to the seeker's problems. Every situation is treated as a potential joke to show how "clever" the Wise Guy is. The seeker is often hurt and confused by the Wise Guy's retort, and nothing gets accomplished, except maybe the tender ego of the Wise Guy, which is soothed for a while in the false satisfaction of having made a rather clever remark.

I have been in all four postions: The Wise (wo)Man who is sought out, the Satisfied Seeker, the Wise Guy with the snarky remark, and the Bruised Seeker. I can tell you honestly that I can still remember the Snarky remarks from decades ago (both given and gotten), and the pain from such encounters is still fresh. Wisdom misused is a SIN.

Today's Hebrew Letter is Teth.
It's Original Pictograph was a Coiled Snake, And The Shape Still Resembles it.
In Ancient Times, The Snake was Symbol Of Wisdom and Creativity.
However, It was in the Form of a Serpent that the evil one Tempted Eve.
And WHAT was the Temptation?
Wisdom!

Father, Teach Us that The ONLY Wisdom Worth having is that which comes from YOU!

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

"He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." (Romans 4:25)

God Bless America!
