🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (10/11/26)[Prayer]

Personalities

Psalm 49[a]

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm.

1  Hear this, all you peoples;

    listen, all who live in this world,

2  both low and high,

    rich and poor alike:

3  My mouth will speak words of wisdom;

    the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.

4  I will turn my ear to a proverb;

    with the harp I will expound my riddle:

5  Why should I fear when evil days come,

    when wicked deceivers surround me—

6  those who trust in their wealth

    and boast of their great riches?

7  No one can redeem the life of another

    or give to God a ransom for them—

8  the ransom for a life is costly,

    no payment is ever enough—

9  so that they should live on forever

    and not see decay.

10  For all can see that the wise die,

    that the foolish and the senseless also perish,

    leaving their wealth to others.

11  Their tombs will remain their houses[b] forever,

    their dwellings for endless generations,

    though they had[c] named lands after themselves.

12  People, despite their wealth, do not endure;

    they are like the beasts that perish.

13  This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,

    and of their followers, who approve their sayings.[d]

14  They are like sheep and are destined to die;

    death will be their shepherd

    (but the upright will prevail over them in the morning).

Their forms will decay in the grave,

    far from their princely mansions.

15  But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead;

    he will surely take me to himself.

16  Do not be overawed when others grow rich,

    when the splendor of their houses increases;

17  for they will take nothing with them when they die,

    their splendor will not descend with them.

18  Though while they live they count themselves blessed—

    and people praise you when you prosper—

19  they will join those who have gone before them,

    who will never again see the light of life.

20  People who have wealth but lack understanding

    are like the beasts that perish.

I waited patiently for the weekend so I could have a nice bike ride. Yesterday was perfect, but I had things I needed to do that involved the car. And today? Well, it's very gloomy out and not a good day for riding at all. Maybe, if I'm patient, the day will improve and I'll get some nice Autumn Riding in later on. Meanwhile, I did semiserious hiking with Tippy this morning. We found a new trail, which started off well, but then got so hilly that I would have needed a walking stick to complete the loop. With one hand gripping my coffee mug and the other trying to control Tippy (who was all excited because she could smell a fox in the vicinity...I could smell it too!) I carefully negotiated the trail downhill back to its entrance on a neighborhood street. Next time I hit this trail, I'll bring a staff, and NOT bring Tippy. Just as we got back on the sidewalk, the fox ambled by about twenty feet ahead, and dashed into the woods like he owned the place! He had been patiently waiting for us to leave HIS forest!

A few days ago I shared about certain arts and crafts that require more patience than I can muster. It's odd that I'm so impatient with myself, when I'm so patient with my students. Just last week, while preparing a fifth grader for an audition to get into the Middle School Jazz Band, I sat with him for two and a half hours while he played the same 24 bars of "Blue Monk" (by Thelonious Monk) over and over again. He got the part, by the way! But after hearing those same 24 Bars over and over, I was in a Felonious Funk. I'm hearing "Blue Monk" in my dreams now, with my patient voice counting the bars, over and over.

If I had that kind of patience with MYSELF, I'd have been a Rock Star. Here's some musings about "Patience" that I penned many years ago:

Patience is not one of my "virtues". It should be, because it is one of what St. Paul calls the "Fruit of the Spirit". If the Holy Spirit is working in my life, I SHOULD be exhibiting Patience, but it seems elusive to me. I have to admit, I am very patient with my students, but very IMPATIENT with myself. I am artistic, but can't abide crafts that have "wait time" between stages. I am the same way with my own music, and will often "do it myself" rather than wait for a collaborator to show up.

The Psalmist, speaking the Word of God, tells us to "Be Still and Know that I AM God". "Doing" can often overtake "Knowing" and cause self-sufficiency to exclude the Creator of the Universe!

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.

Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.

Amen to your prayers and word. Prey is usually patient, until the time of attack. We walked our dog along the river, there looked to be a dog following us across the meadow, except it moved like a cat. We were headed towards a wooded area and decided to go back instead. Had the same problem with big eagles when we let our dog run around, that is until we saw them staring at our tempting meal. Patience is a big deal in the world we live in. Thank the Lord for the 4th watch wake up time.
