War

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you. May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces.” For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, “May peace be within you.” For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.  (Psalm 122:6-9, NASB)

Israel is at war.  She’s at war with evil.  God has commanded us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. 

Psalm 122 contains this admonition.  It says to pray this prayer:  “May they prosper who love you. May peace be within your walls, And prosperity within your palaces.”  While the psalmist prays for peace and prosperity, he also promises prosperity to those who love Jerusalem.  Jerusalem is God’s city.  He chose this city as the location of His Temple forever.  Therefore, the psalmist seeks “good” for the city.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  Please pray for wisdom and strength for Prime Minister Netanyahu as he leads the Beautiful Land in these perilous times.  Please pray that God will protect the hostages in their horrific situations.  Please pray for the soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the Israeli Defense Force as they confront this evil face-to-face, that God will protect them.  Amen!
