🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem🇮🇱 (10/30/26)[Prayer]

Personalities

Psalm 68[a]

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. A song.

1  May God arise, may his enemies be scattered;

    may his foes flee before him.

2  May you blow them away like smoke—

    as wax melts before the fire,

    may the wicked perish before God.

3  But may the righteous be glad

    and rejoice before God;

    may they be happy and joyful.

4  Sing to God, sing in praise of his name,

    extol him who rides on the clouds[b];

    rejoice before him—his name is the Lord.

5  A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows,

    is God in his holy dwelling.

6  God sets the lonely in families,[c]

    he leads out the prisoners with singing;

    but the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.

7  When you, God, went out before your people,

    when you marched through the wilderness,[d]

8  the earth shook, the heavens poured down rain,

    before God, the One of Sinai,

    before God, the God of Israel.

9  You gave abundant showers, O God;

    you refreshed your weary inheritance.

10  Your people settled in it,

    and from your bounty, God, you provided for the poor.

11  The Lord announces the word,

    and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng:

12  “Kings and armies flee in haste;

    the women at home divide the plunder.

13  Even while you sleep among the sheep pens,[e]

    the wings of my dove are sheathed with silver,

    its feathers with shining gold.”

14  When the Almighty[f] scattered the kings in the land,

    it was like snow fallen on Mount Zalmon.

15  Mount Bashan, majestic mountain,

    Mount Bashan, rugged mountain,

16  why gaze in envy, you rugged mountain,

    at the mountain where God chooses to reign,

    where the Lord himself will dwell forever?

17  The chariots of God are tens of thousands

    and thousands of thousands;

    the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.[g]

18  When you ascended on high,

    you took many captives;

    you received gifts from people,

even from[h] the rebellious—

    that you,[i] Lord God, might dwell there.

19  Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior,

    who daily bears our burdens.

20  Our God is a God who saves;

    from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death.

21  Surely God will crush the heads of his enemies,

    the hairy crowns of those who go on in their sins.

22  The Lord says, “I will bring them from Bashan;

    I will bring them from the depths of the sea,

23  that your feet may wade in the blood of your foes,

    while the tongues of your dogs have their share.”

24  Your procession, God, has come into view,

    the procession of my God and King into the sanctuary.

25  In front are the singers, after them the musicians;

    with them are the young women playing the timbrels.

26  Praise God in the great congregation;

    praise the Lord in the assembly of Israel.

27  There is the little tribe of Benjamin, leading them,

    there the great throng of Judah’s princes,

    and there the princes of Zebulun and of Naphtali.

28  Summon your power, God[j];

    show us your strength, our God, as you have done before.

29  Because of your temple at Jerusalem

    kings will bring you gifts.

30  Rebuke the beast among the reeds,

    the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations.

Humbled, may the beast bring bars of silver.

    Scatter the nations who delight in war.

31  Envoys will come from Egypt;

    Cush[k] will submit herself to God.

32  Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth,

    sing praise to the Lord,

33  to him who rides across the highest heavens, the ancient heavens,

    who thunders with mighty voice.

34  Proclaim the power of God,

    whose majesty is over Israel,

    whose power is in the heavens.

35  You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary;

    the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people.

Praise be to God!

Sorry this is late Today! I walked Four Miles with Tippy this morning in beautiful Autumn Weather. The Trees are at Peak Color around here.

This is a long Psalm which covers a lot of ground. It's opening line sounds warlike:

"Let God Arise, His enemies be scattered."

In Ancient times, People carried their "gods" before them in battle, so a conflict was not just between nations, but between those nations' gods. The Scriptures recognize this , especially in Exodus, when The One True God judges the gods of Egypt with the plagues. Hapi, the God of the Life-Giving Nile, is the first to get judged, as the Nile is turned to blood. Subsequent plagues judge other frog-headed and bug-headed "gods", up to the plague on the cattle (sacred and even worshiped in Egypt). Then the thick darkness was a judgement on the chief god Amon-Ra, who was the embodiment of sunshine. Finally, the horrific plague of the First-born was a direct affront to Osiris and Horus, who were supposedly embodied in Pharaoh and his First-born Son.

Another "Clash of the Gods" takes place in 1 Samuel, when the stolen Ark of the Covenant is ensconced in the temple of the Philistine merman-like god Dagon. The mere Presence of the Ark causes the idol to fall over and break apart. On top of that, the Philistines find themselves afflicted with tumors in very painful and private places! And a plague of rats too...EEK!

Generals like to say "God is on our side." Well that may be, but which "god" are they referring to? If it is a false god, the alliance is not going to do your armies much good. What really complicates matters is when both sides in a conflict worship the SAME God. Whose side is He on then?

The proper question is not "Is God on my side?". What one should be asking is "Am I on God's side?". God gives guidance in His Word. He clearly states His Commandments, what constitutes "true religion", and what is required of us. We are told that "without Faith, it is impossible to please Him." We are also told to defend orphans and widows. We are told not to murder, steal, cheat on our spouses, or dabble in the occult. But, even these are not enough. We are to Believe in the One He Sent. No amount of rule-keeping is sufficient without Faith.

So. Whose side are YOU on?

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.
