🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (10/18/26)[Prayer]

Personalities

Psalm 56[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “A Dove on Distant Oaks.” Of David. A miktam.[b] When the Philistines had seized him in Gath.

1  Be merciful to me, my God,

    for my enemies are in hot pursuit;

    all day long they press their attack.

2  My adversaries pursue me all day long;

    in their pride many are attacking me.

3  When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

4      In God, whose word I praise—

in God I trust and am not afraid.

    What can mere mortals do to me?

5  All day long they twist my words;

    all their schemes are for my ruin.

6  They conspire, they lurk,

    they watch my steps,

    hoping to take my life.

7  Because of their wickedness do not[c] let them escape;

    in your anger, God, bring the nations down.

8  Record my misery;

    list my tears on your scroll[d]—

    are they not in your record?

9  Then my enemies will turn back

    when I call for help.

    By this I will know that God is for me.

10  In God, whose word I praise,

    in the Lord, whose word I praise—

11  in God I trust and am not afraid.

    What can man do to me?

12  I am under vows to you, my God;

    I will present my thank offerings to you.

13  For you have delivered me from death

    and my feet from stumbling,

that I may walk before God

    in the light of life.

The Frost was on the Pumpkin this morning. I woke up to a 32 degree morning. As the sun came up, the temperatures rose a little bit, but not by much. I really wanted to ride today. I suppose if I bundle up like I'm headed for Mars, I can get a ride in!

Today's Psalm is about Trust, Repentance, and total Reliance on God. When the Psalmist says that God keeps a record of his tears, he uses a colorful metaphor. David describes his tears being saved up in a "wineskin". The King James Version called it a "Bottle". The first time I read this Psalm, I envisioned a Giant Celestial Apothecary, with MILLIONS of Bottles full of the Tears of the Believers. God isn't fazed by the enormity of it. YOUR "Bottle" is just as important to Him as everyone else's, and He knows exactly where it's filed.

This vision stayed with me for 32 years and inspired a verse in my song "Jesus Is My Rock" that I wrote for Biker Church:

I give Him all my tears.
He keeps 'em in a Bottle.
His Hand is on My Hand,
Then My Hand's On The Throttle.

Yeah, Jesus is My Rock.
His name is Written on My Soul.
Yeah, Jesus Is My Rock,
My Name is Written on the Roll.

This Psalm also speaks of Conviction. Here is something I shared about this Psalm, many years ago on this Thread: (Remember Penny?)

After hiding for several gloomy days, the sunshine burst forth this morning just in time for my Morning Walk with Penny. I was glad for that, because Penny balks so much in the rain that the Morning Walk is ruined. This morning, she pranced along, happy for the beautiful, sunny, Springtime.

That was a good thing, because my time is very limited this morning. I have an adult student showing up at 10:00AM for a voice lesson, and I have no time to spare.

After brewing coffee, preparing the Thread, walking Penny, making her food, making my own breakfast, doing my Devotional reading, and setting up for the lesson, the sunshine moved across the living room floor and hit the kitchen. The black, shiny, ceramic tile floor was FILTHY! Like a Hollywood searchlight, the sunlight illuminated every speck of dust, crumb, and doggie hair and filled me with shame. My student had to walk through the kitchen to get to the living room. My time was managed down to the second. There was no time to wash the floor. I swept as much as I could and used wet-wipes to go after the worst spots. Of course, the wet-wipes were not meant for shiny tile, so the result was streaky swirls which were further illuminated by the sunbeam.

With laser-like intensity, the sunbeam searched the floor, revealing my lax housekeeping. I could stand it no longer! I have a thread to get out and a lesson to teach. I couldn't help but not that my student is an Eastern European lady, and her house is so immaculate that one could do brain surgery on her kitchen table! Argh!

As I started typing today's Meditation, the thought occurred to me that , once-upon-a-time, my student lived in a far less luxurious home. Did I say she was from Eastern Europe? Well, not quite. She is actually from Omsk, an industrial city in Siberia! Now, I may not live in a Palace, but it sure ain't Siberia! So here it is 8:30, and I'm writing the Thread, but I don't feel so bad about my kitchen floor after all. I'll take care of it after the lesson.

And, unintentionally, my tale of woe again coincides with my daily prayer:

"Let all that has been concealed,
Be Revealed."

On gloomy, rainy days, my kitchen floor looks fine. But this morning, the baleful eye of the sun caught up with me! Light illuminates the soul, but also exposes sin in a way that accusation falls short. If somebody came in and said, "Your kitchen floor needs to be washed." I would take umbrage. But the sunlight, breaking through the clouds, silently pouring into the window, revealed all. The accuser can accuse all day long, but the Spirit, in illuminating the heart, reveals all that is concealed.

Here is the difference between Accusation and Conviction. If the "revelation' is accusation without solution, it only brings condemnation. That is why the enemy of our souls is called "The Accuser".

If, on the other hand, The "revelation" brings about repentance, a change of heart, and a solution, it is like the sunbeam...it is conviction, and comes from the Holy Spirit.

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 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.
