🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (9/17/26)[Prayer]

Personalities

Psalm 25[a]
Of David.

1  In you, Lord my God,

    I put my trust.

2  I trust in you;

    do not let me be put to shame,

    nor let my enemies triumph over me.

3  No one who hopes in you

    will ever be put to shame,

but shame will come on those

    who are treacherous without cause.

4  Show me your ways, Lord,

    teach me your paths.

5  Guide me in your truth and teach me,

    for you are God my Savior,

    and my hope is in you all day long.

6  Remember, Lord, your great mercy and love,

    for they are from of old.

7  Do not remember the sins of my youth

    and my rebellious ways;

according to your love remember me,

    for you, Lord, are good.

8  Good and upright is the Lord;

    therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

9  He guides the humble in what is right

    and teaches them his way.

10  All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful

    toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.

11  For the sake of your name, Lord,

    forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

12  Who, then, are those who fear the Lord?

    He will instruct them in the ways they should choose.[b]

13  They will spend their days in prosperity,

    and their descendants will inherit the land.

14  The Lord confides in those who fear him;

    he makes his covenant known to them.

15  My eyes are ever on the Lord,

    for only he will release my feet from the snare.

16  Turn to me and be gracious to me,

    for I am lonely and afflicted.

17  Relieve the troubles of my heart

    and free me from my anguish.

18  Look on my affliction and my distress

    and take away all my sins.

19  See how numerous are my enemies

    and how fiercely they hate me!

20  Guard my life and rescue me;

    do not let me be put to shame,

    for I take refuge in you.

21  May integrity and uprightness protect me,

    because my hope, Lord,[c] is in you.

22  Deliver Israel, O God,

    from all their troubles!

Today looks like a magnificent day for a Bike Ride, but I'll have to stay close to home as I have a Lesson at 3:30PM. During the Lockdown Five Years ago, there wasn't much else to occupy my time, so I did a lot of riding. Here's something I wrote back then, as it seems like only yesterday. The route I describe is a little too far for Today's Ride, but I'll think of SOMETHING!

While I am quite capable of keeping pace on highways on the bike, I find the Interstate boring and would much rather take the turning, curvy, Country Roads. One of my favorite runs is from one end of Rte. 105 in Halifax to the other in Marion at the very end of Buzzards Bay. This lovely road goes through farmland, old New England Villages, huge lakes and reservoirs, haunted forests, Native-American Cemeteries, and, eventually, to the ocean. At the very end of this road, one can either turn EAST and come home via Wareham and Cape Cod, or go WEST and end up in New Bedford, home of the Whaling Museum and National Historic Park. Up until a certain day last year, I had always taken the Eastern Route, because it was a shorter route home.

Anyway, on one trip, I came to the end of 105 and chose the other direction, because I wanted some variety. I was getting hungry, and no restaurants were open because of the quarantine, but I figured that since New Bedford was the home of a National Park, there had to be SOMEPLACE open!

All along Route 6 West were closed restaurants, and I was getting more and more hungry. Finally, I went over the Fairhaven Bridge, and entered New Bedford. I could see the Museum across the bridge. I could also see, from my vantage point, that Everything was CLOSED.

OK...so what next? I reached another crossroads. One way would put me on the Interstate (boring), and the other way would put me on Route 18 North...straight home. I chose Route 18, because it looked right in my own eyes.

Now, before I continue my story, I must interject here that during the proliferation of Whaling, New Bedford was the wealthiest City in New England. However, the bottom fell out of the Whaling Industry due to the discovery and development of Petroleum, and then, electricity. (So, "Fossil Fuels" saved the Whales, but I digress!). After the collapse of the industry, and filled with unemployed sailors and fishermen from all over the world, New Bedford fell into poverty and decay. The town center, which extends for miles, became poor, neglected, and somewhat dangerous, as inner-cities can be. The Interstate skirts this area completely, so that people can go to the National Park without having to drive through it. The main street that goes through the center of this neglected area is, you guessed it, Route 18. And there I was, tired, hungry, needing to use a rest room, putting along at 25 mph and having to stop at every red light. On every corner were unemployed, disenfranchised Youts, wearing masks and looking for something to do. And, of course, all the stores and restaurants were closed...except for the Liquor Stores, which our esteemed gov'nah considered "Essential Businesses."

After what seemed like forever, Route 18 finally burst forth from the bondage of the inner-city, and I pinned the throttle and headed home....just in time! (LOL)

Psalm 25 asks God to direct our paths. When we take a road that seems right at the time, but do not consult with The Lord about our decision, it can lead to trouble. In my own mind, Route 18 was the most direct road to home, with the least amount of twists and turns, and my sense of direction told me I was going Northeast, which was exactly the direction I wanted to go. We have instincts and a sense of direction for a reason, and God wants us to use the gifts He gave us to make decisions. But we are NEVER to leave Him out of the equation. Like it says in Proverbs 3:5-6:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Perhaps God would have directed me to take a small portion of the Interstate two or three exits to get home more efficiently, but I had other plans! I was being stubborn. I didn't want to be bored! Well, Downtown New Bedford may be a lot of things, but it certainly couldn't be called "BORING"!

(Looking back at this essay, what struck me was the line that "Fossil Fuels saved the Whales". That cracked me up! :-)

Amen to your word and prayer, waiting on the Lord certainly requires listening. So many lessons to learn. Also I am pretty sure God didn’t need dead dinosaurs to make oil cuz we would have run out of it a long time ago, remember the panic about that in the early 70’s.

[redryder_90]

Amen

Like you, I believe God created oil when He created the Earth.

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
16 With long life I will satisfy them,
and show them my salvation.

[Hiskid]

Amen
