Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father in Heaven,
Magnified and Sanctified is Your Most Holy Name!
We Come into Your Glorious Presence With Singing,
And into Your Courts With Praise!
For You Alone Are Worthy,
You Alone Are LORD,
You Alone Are The Most High,
The Great I AM.
God of Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob,
We Worship You and You Alone,
Creator of All That Is,
And Sovereign LORD of All Nature,
Which is Under Your Control at All Times.
How conceited we humans can be,
Thinking that we somehow can control the mighty forces
That are Yours and Yours Alone!
What hubris, to think that somehow we are little gods
who can influence and change the course of climate,
history,
or Your Will!

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.

God Bless America.

Just this morning, I came across something I wrote two years ago when meditating on the Story of The Binding of Isaac. Although at first it might not seem to go with Today's Scripture, it does connect. It has to do with being tested.

Since I was born less than eight years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki and a year before the first H-Bomb Test, my childhood was filled with images of Total Annihilation of Planet Earth. Creaky, Low-Budget Sci-Fi Movies (and some good ones too) filled my head with thoughts of The End of The World. My favorite was "The Day The Earth Stood Still". Along with Sci-Fi, I also watched a lot of Strategic Air Command Training Films, as my Dad spent quite a bit of time repairing them as part of his job. (I never figured that one out!). Along with Sci-Fi and the SAC films, there were constant ads on TV for Fallout Shelters and Civil Defense Instruction. In School, we had "Duck-and-Cover", "Air-Raid Drills", and, of course, The Cuban Missile Crisis, which scared the pants off of me.

Perhaps the scariest thing of all was when I would be watching Captain Kangaroo and suddenly the program would be interrupted by a loud siren. After the siren had screamed for what seemed like forever, a manly voice would intone:

"THIS HAS BEEN A TEST. HAD IT BEEN AN ACTUAL ALERT, YOU WOULD HAVE RECEIVED FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS. THIS IS ONLY A TEST."

Whew! But I knew in my heart that one day, the alarm would sound and the voice would say something different, as in:

"THIS IS NOT A TEST!"

I shudder to think of what the "Further Instructions" would be.

Today's Scripture Passage is a little difficult to understand when rendered in King James English. It seems to be a "double negative", which, as any Elementary School Teacher will tell you, makes it a POSITIVE. Essentially, the Passage is saying that, if God gives you a job to do, He will give you as much of His Spirit that you need to get the job done. He is not doling out His Spirit with a teaspoon, but, instead, is providing sufficient strength and abundant power to do what He wants you to do. As St Paul said in his joyful letter to the Philippians:

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Philippians 4:13 KJV)

He will never ask you to do something, and then not provide the means.

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

For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. (Mark 4:22)

God Bless America.

Psalm 40

To the leader. Of David. A Psalm.

1 I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He drew me up from the desolate pit,*
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the Lord.

4 Happy are those who make
the Lord their trust,
who do not turn to the proud,
to those who go astray after false gods.
5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God,
your wondrous deeds and your thoughts towards us;
none can compare with you.
Were I to proclaim and tell of them,
they would be more than can be counted.

6 Sacrifice and offering you do not desire,
but you have given me an open ear.*
Burnt-offering and sin-offering
you have not required.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am;
in the scroll of the book it is written of me.*
8 I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within my heart.’

9 I have told the glad news of deliverance
in the great congregation;
see, I have not restrained my lips,
as you know, O Lord.
10 I have not hidden your saving help within my heart,
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
from the great congregation.

11 Do not, O Lord, withhold
your mercy from me;
let your steadfast love and your faithfulness
keep me safe for ever.
12 For evils have encompassed me
without number;
my iniquities have overtaken me,
until I cannot see;
they are more than the hairs of my head,
and my heart fails me.

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me;
O Lord, make haste to help me.
14 Let all those be put to shame and confusion
who seek to snatch away my life;
let those be turned back and brought to dishonour
who desire my hurt.
15 Let those be appalled because of their shame
who say to me, ‘Aha, Aha!’

16 But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation
say continually, ‘Great is the Lord!’
17 As for me, I am poor and needy,
but the Lord takes thought for me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God.
