🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (10/20/26)[Prayer]

Personalities

Psalm 58[a]

For the director of music. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” Of David. A miktam.[b]

1  Do you rulers indeed speak justly?

    Do you judge people with equity?

2  No, in your heart you devise injustice,

    and your hands mete out violence on the earth.

3  Even from birth the wicked go astray;

    from the womb they are wayward, spreading lies.

4  Their venom is like the venom of a snake,

    like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears,

5  that will not heed the tune of the charmer,

    however skillful the enchanter may be.

6  Break the teeth in their mouths, O God;

    Lord, tear out the fangs of those lions!

7  Let them vanish like water that flows away;

    when they draw the bow, let their arrows fall short.

8  May they be like a slug that melts away as it moves along,

    like a stillborn child that never sees the sun.

9  Before your pots can feel the heat of the thorns—

    whether they be green or dry—the wicked will be swept away.[c]

10  The righteous will be glad when they are avenged,

    when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.

11  Then people will say,

    “Surely the righteous still are rewarded;

    surely there is a God who judges the earth.”

I just celebrated my 74th Birthday, and what a FUN Birthday it was! My sisters took me out for "Teppan Yaki" which is the Japanese Art Form of cooking on a grill. The Chefs give a "Floor Show" at the same time they are preparing your meal. Ours was a frenetic guy who spun and juggled EGGS on a spatula before mixing them into the fried rice. I was fascinated, as I have difficulty even breaking an egg without getting shell fragments in my omelet. 👏

According to the constellations on the Ecliptic, I was born when the sun was in the sign of Libra. I don't ascribe to Astrology because God said "Don't Do It", and that's enough for me. However, "Libra" represents the Scales of Justice, and I've been overly concerned with "Justice" for as long as I can remember. I used to get in trouble with my teachers in Elementary School, because I was prone to blurting out in class:

"THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!!"

I had to learn the hard way that LIFE isn't Fair, and True Justice doesn't always fit our personal agenda.

For ten years, I sold items on Ebay. For the first few years, before I setup shipping software and a weighing scale, I had to bring all my packages to the Post Office and stand at the counter. One by one, the Postal Employee would weigh each item and ask a series of questions. Did I want to insure the package? What type of Postal Service did I want for the package? How many days did I want it to take? And, most importantly, Does the package contain any explosives, biological agents, poisons, controlled substances, toxic materials, or radioactive substances? (As If!). Anyway, I would try to expedite the process by saying "No" to all the questions for all the packages as a group, but that was not acceptable. And so, the trip to the Post Office was an Odyssey, and I had to allot at least an hour for the errand.

After I installed the software and plugged in the scale, I was able to pay for and print the postage, weigh the package, attach the stickers, and put a pile of boxes on the counter at the Post Office, no questions asked. It was worth the investment.

I can't help but wonder though, how asking some questions at a counter would deter a truly EVIL person from mailing evil things, and just lying about it? After all, the EVIL 9/11/01 Terrorists had lived in my community in South Florida, went to flight school, used the Public Library for their research, and worked out at the local gym. If they had been asked "Are you taking flying lessons, studying maps, and working out, so that you can hijack four aircraft full of innocent people and crash them into buildings?", I am certain the answer would have been "Of Course Not!"

Evil is very insidious and does not announce its arrival. When challenged, the evil person has no problem lying to cover up his intentions. The Psalmist compares evil people to a venomous snake that can't be charmed.

But the Psalm doesn't end there. God is Just, and evil will not flourish forever. God is our Refuge and Our Strength, and we can run to Him. The evil one will meet his end, like a slug shriveling up on a hot sidewalk. Justice (REAL Justice, not "social justice") will prevail.

Many Thanks to all of you who made my Birthday a very special one!

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.

Hallelujah and Amen
