🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (10/6/26)[Prayer]

Personalities

Psalm 44[a]

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A maskil.[b]

1  We have heard it with our ears, O God;

    our ancestors have told us

what you did in their days,

    in days long ago.

2  With your hand you drove out the nations

    and planted our ancestors;

you crushed the peoples

    and made our ancestors flourish.

3  It was not by their sword that they won the land,

    nor did their arm bring them victory;

it was your right hand, your arm,

    and the light of your face, for you loved them.

4  You are my King and my God,

    who decrees[c] victories for Jacob.

5  Through you we push back our enemies;

    through your name we trample our foes.

6  I put no trust in my bow,

    my sword does not bring me victory;

7  but you give us victory over our enemies,

    you put our adversaries to shame.

8  In God we make our boast all day long,

    and we will praise your name forever.[d]

9  But now you have rejected and humbled us;

    you no longer go out with our armies.

10  You made us retreat before the enemy,

    and our adversaries have plundered us.

11  You gave us up to be devoured like sheep

    and have scattered us among the nations.

12  You sold your people for a pittance,

    gaining nothing from their sale.

13  You have made us a reproach to our neighbors,

    the scorn and derision of those around us.

14  You have made us a byword among the nations;

    the peoples shake their heads at us.

15  I live in disgrace all day long,

    and my face is covered with shame

16  at the taunts of those who reproach and revile me,

    because of the enemy, who is bent on revenge.

17  All this came upon us,

    though we had not forgotten you;

    we had not been false to your covenant.

18  Our hearts had not turned back;

    our feet had not strayed from your path.

19  But you crushed us and made us a haunt for jackals;

    you covered us over with deep darkness.

20  If we had forgotten the name of our God

    or spread out our hands to a foreign god,

21  would not God have discovered it,

    since he knows the secrets of the heart?

22  Yet for your sake we face death all day long;

    we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

23  Awake, Lord! Why do you sleep?

    Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever.

24  Why do you hide your face

    and forget our misery and oppression?

25  We are brought down to the dust;

    our bodies cling to the ground.

26  Rise up and help us;

    rescue us because of your unfailing love.

Sorry I'm so late this morning. Autumn comes but once a year to New England, and the Season is so short that I have to grab every minute of it. So this morning, Tippy and I walked two miles to our destination, two miles through wooded trail (rough terrain!) and two miles back. That took almost 2.5 hours, but it was well worth it.

Today's Psalm shows David's personalty as a Warrior who is totally dependent upon God for his vindication and victories.

In times of war, Truth is often a big casulaty. While secrecy and deceit can be useful or even necessary in warfare, lies and propaganda aren't the path to victory. Here's something I wrote about "Deceit" over five years ago:

Let All That Has Been Concealed,
Be Revealed."

You may have noticed this addition to the Template of the Prayer Portion of this Thread. It has been my Prayer for over a year now. The following little stories about concealment and revelation might ring a bell:

1. A Comedy Routine was disguised as a"Specially Edited Family-Friendly Version of "The Sopranos" and aired only once as I can recall. That particular series was aired on a Premium Cable, and therefore was not governed by any Broadcasting rules against violence or obscenity. The scene opens with Tony opening the refrigerator (a recurring theme:)

TONY: "Where the (bleep) is the (bleep)(bleep) gabagoo? I (bleep) put the (bleep)(bleep) gabagoo in the (bleep) fridge last (bleep) night! Why the (bleep)(bleep) can't I (bleep) keep any (bleep) gabagoo in the (bleep) house?" ("Gabagoo", is a kind of Italian Luncheon Meat.)

2. Just yesterday, the FBI released their report on the murder of Seth Rich. It was redacted in exactly the same manner as the "Family-Friendly" version of "The Sopranos". Since it was so heavily redacted, I think it is safe to assume that some very important people would be incriminated by its full exposure.

3. I was driving with the Radio on, and I heard this commercial from a local car dealership:

"ZERO Money Down!!!!
ZERO Percent Interest!!!!
ZERO Payments for the First Three Months!!!
Yes, Mitsubishi LOVES our ZEROS!"

When I heard the ad, I almost sprayed my windshield with my coffee! Mitsubishi was the manufacturer of the Aircraft called the "Zero", which was the model of plane that bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, a Day the will live in Infamy." My Dad, a Veteran of the War in the Pacific, would get very angry when he saw a Mitsubishi on the road. Had the Company's past been so covered up over the years that the Car Dealership and Ad Agency had no clue as to the offensiveness of their commercial?

4. I am very interested in History, especially WW2. Lately there have been several books alleging that FDR knew about the Pearl Harbor attacks and could have prevented them, but didn't. Other books say that Churchill instigated the attacks to get the USA into the War. Still other theories have emerged, most of them worth less than Tony's missing Gabagoo. Will we ever know the truth, or is it lost to History?

Today's Psalm is a Prayer for Vindication. Vindication can not be achieved without TRUTH. A lie or a theory does not vindicate...it only covers up, or perhaps soothes the seeker into a false sense of gratification. Like Tony's missing cold-cuts, or the heavily redacted report, the theory or false narrative does not bring Justice or Vindication at all! Truth (and God IS Truth!) is not always what we expect or want, but it is Absolute. In our prayers for Vindication and Revelation, we must be prepared for an unpleasant reality, because Truth is no respecter of persons. If it is finally revealed that Seth Rich was murdered by someone in Government, or that Tony's own son ate the Gabagoo, or that FDR ordered the Pacific Fleet to be destroyed by Zeros, so be it. Truth is not governed by Politics, Religion, Custom, Tradition, or Culture. Truth just IS. Sometimes it hurts. Sometimes it seems to take forever, But where Truth is, there is Vindication.

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.
