Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Ecclesiastes 9

  A Common Destiny for All

9 So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God’s hands, but no one knows whether love or hate awaits them. 2 All share a common destiny—the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad,[a] the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not.

As it is with the good,
    so with the sinful;
as it is with those who take oaths,
    so with those who are afraid to take them.
3 This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all. The hearts of people, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead. 4 Anyone who is among the living has hope[b]—even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!

5  For the living know that they will die,
    but the dead know nothing;
they have no further reward,
    and even their name is forgotten.

6  Their love, their hate
    and their jealousy have long since vanished;
never again will they have a part
    in anything that happens under the sun.
7 Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do. 8 Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil. 9 Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun—all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun. 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

11 I have seen something else under the sun:

The race is not to the swift
    or the battle to the strong,
nor does food come to the wise
    or wealth to the brilliant
    or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all.
12 Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come:

As fish are caught in a cruel net,
    or birds are taken in a snare,
so people are trapped by evil times
    that fall unexpectedly upon them.

Wisdom Better Than Folly

13 I also saw under the sun this example of wisdom that greatly impressed me: 14 There was once a small city with only a few people in it. And a powerful king came against it, surrounded it and built huge siege works against it. 15 Now there lived in that city a man poor but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man. 16 So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.

17  The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded
    than the shouts of a ruler of fools.

18  Wisdom is better than weapons of war,
    but one sinner destroys much good.

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

A client of mine gave me a really interesting book about Thomas Jefferson. I am enjoying it immensely and marvel at the many areas of discipline that this man was able to master.

Solomon was like that, only more so. In the Historical Books of the Bible, we read of Solomon's expertise in Diplomatic Relations, International Trade, Architecture, Politics, City Planning, Materials and Design, Carpentry, Masonry, and Logistics. We also see an unappealing failing that he shares with Jefferson...the use of slavery.

Nobody is perfect, but we can learn so much from reading about these heroes of the past, warts and all. These events occurred during the Golden Peaceful age of Solomon's rule, before the disillusionment of his later years crept in. From the context, we can conclude that most of Solomon's woes were self-inflicted. There were no serious wars during Solomon's reign, and the country abounded with peace and prosperity. Those very blessings, however, can sometimes lead to complacency, and complacency leads to laziness. As Ronald Reagan so sagely noted; "Freedom is only one generation from extinction." Constant vigilence is necessary to preserve our way of life. And, of course, constant Prayer!

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

Psalm 57

To the leader: Do Not Destroy. Of David. A Miktam, when he fled from Saul, in the cave.

1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
until the destroying storms pass by.
2 I cry to God Most High,
to God who fulfils his purpose for me.
3 He will send from heaven and save me,
he will put to shame those who trample on me.
Selah
God will send forth his steadfast love and his faithfulness.

4 I lie down among lions
that greedily devour* human prey;
their teeth are spears and arrows,
their tongues sharp swords.

5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth.

6 They set a net for my steps;
my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my path,
but they have fallen into it themselves.
Selah
7 My heart is steadfast, O God,
my heart is steadfast.
I will sing and make melody.
8 Awake, my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
I will awake the dawn.
9 I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples;
I will sing praises to you among the nations.
10 For your steadfast love is as high as the heavens;
your faithfulness extends to the clouds.

11 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens.
Let your glory be over all the earth.
