🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (9/24/26)[Prayer]

Personalities

Psalm 32

Of David. A maskil.[a]

1  Blessed is the one

    whose transgressions are forgiven,

    whose sins are covered.

2  Blessed is the one

    whose sin the Lord does not count against them

    and in whose spirit is no deceit.

3  When I kept silent,

    my bones wasted away

    through my groaning all day long.

4  For day and night

    your hand was heavy on me;

my strength was sapped

    as in the heat of summer.[b]

5  Then I acknowledged my sin to you

    and did not cover up my iniquity.

I said, “I will confess

    my transgressions to the Lord.”

And you forgave

    the guilt of my sin.

6  Therefore let all the faithful pray to you

    while you may be found;

surely the rising of the mighty waters

    will not reach them.

7  You are my hiding place;

    you will protect me from trouble

    and surround me with songs of deliverance.

8  I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

    I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

9  Do not be like the horse or the mule,

    which have no understanding

but must be controlled by bit and bridle

    or they will not come to you.

10  Many are the woes of the wicked,

    but the Lord’s unfailing love

    surrounds the one who trusts in him.

11  Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;

    sing, all you who are upright in heart!

At my Adult Education Class on Piano, I drew an Octave on the blackboard: eight white keys and five black keys. The arrangement was This:



A woman in the class raised her hand and asked why it was arranged that way. She had brought her little seven-year-old daughter to the evening class that night, because she couldn't get a sitter.

I was ready to expound about Tetrachords and the Major Scale, when the child blurted out:

"I Know Why!!! So You Can FIND Middle C!!!"

That was a far better answer than what I had in mind.

Some Bible Translations put little subheadings over chapters and verses to help the reader along. Neither the little chapter headings, nor the actual Chapter and verse numbers are in the original manuscripts. Come to think of it, neither are Vowels, Punctuation, or spaces between words! Thank goodness the very earliest Bible Translators were kind enough to think of numbering the Chapters and Verses, Putting little headings here and there, and spacing the words. Otherwise we'd never be able to find what we're looking for.

The chapter heading on this Psalm, in some translations is:

"The Joy of Forgiveness"

Here's a bit I wrote about Forgiveness, many years ago:

One of the ugliest aspects of our current cultural morass is the lack of forgiveness. Both publicly and privately, this barren, blighted attitude destroys careers, beaks up families, and breaks up marriages. Some of the grievances are very real and need to be aired, but others are imaginary or so far in the past that nobody else remembers them.

Social Media has decreed that even if a word SOUNDS like an offensive one, or even if the charge is false, the aggrieved person is always in the right and the "offender" deserves to be "canceled". Often, things that were cultural norms in their own day (like WW2 Airplane Nose Art) are now "politically incorrect". People who were innocent back then are guilty NOW.

This is exactly what is meant by the Latin phrase ex post facto means in the Constitution. If what was once legal and acceptable becomes illegal and unacceptable, one can not prosecute a person who did that thing before it was "banned". (Of course, sin is sin no matter what era is occurs. This is about cultural norms.)

When Mark Twain, Dr. Seuss, "Gone With The Wind", "Baby, It's Cold Outside", and certain statues get banned, it doesn't affect one personally, but when somebody's house gets burned down because they were "doxxed" on FB, or a man loses his job over an idiotic prank he did in High School, it becomes more serious. No amount of apology, repentance, reparations, or atonement is enough. The person is ruined. There is NO forgiveness. (There is a political agenda behind it all, and so there is a marked disparity between the treatment of the "sinner", based upon their political persuasion.)

This grim scenario is the exact opposite of the Judeo-Christian Worldview. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has ALWAYS offered a way of forgiveness, from Adam & Eve all the way to The Cross. Once forgiven, the sin is remembered no more, and God casts it into the deepest part of the sea. This is the gist of David's Psalm. "Blessed is he whose sin is forgiven" gives us hope and joy that the world can't give. It is a Peace that Passes Understanding.

There is no greater joy, it seems to me, than the knowledge that one has been forgiven, either in this world or the next. It truly is "The Joy Of Forgiveness".

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)

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.
