Seven Days of Prayer - Day 4

-

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth! Before… THIS VIRUS …Stir up Your strength, and come and save us! Restore us, O God; Cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved! O Lord God of hosts, how long will You… ALLOW US TO BE …fed…with the bread of tears, and given…tears to drink in great measure.[1]

Father God, we humble ourselves before You and ask You to lift us up with Your righteous right hand.[2] Only You can stop this plague. And although we, as sinful people, have no right to ask because we deserve it, we ask anyway leaning on Your great and everlasting love.[3] Lord God, you have no pleasure in the death of the wicked,[4] and Your desire is that NONE should perish, but that ALL would come to REPENTANCE.[5] Therefore, Holy, holy, holy God,

Restore us, O God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, and we shall be saved![6]

…we beseech You, O God of hosts; Look down from heaven and see, and visit this NATION, WE BELIEVE …Your right hand has planted, THE ONE …You made strong for Yourself. Let Your hand be upon… US AND OUR LEADERS, AND ALL HUMANITY THAT …You made strong for Yourself. Then we will not turn back from You; Revive us, and we will call upon Your name. Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; Cause Your face to shine, And we shall be saved![7]

We pray all this, O Lord my God, in the name of Jesus, the Mighty One of Israel, our Lord, our Savior, and our God. Amen and Amen.

  WHAT IS TRUTH? Part 1   Flaming torches lit the road as guards carrying swords and clubs surrounded Him. Throughout the night, they tortured, tried, and convicted Him, even though four days earlier, citizens hailed Him as Messiah the Prince. [1] A nearby rooster crowed while a sliver of white light crested the horizon, and a cloaked figure ran from the courtyard weeping. Morning brightened the streets but not the hateful temperaments. Torches doused until night returned, and the evil parade marched on to the Praetorium. https://christianevidences.org/the-praetorium-antonia-fortress-jerusalem/   Outside this notorious citadel, self-righteous Pharisees who had named themselves His judge and jury summoned Pontius Pilate. Normally, a criminal would be escorted inside to the Bema—the judgment seat—but it was Passover. Entering a Gentile dwelling caused defilement making the Jew unable to partake. What a contradiction—what a joke—since they had the TRUE Passover Lamb in their custody

Whatever Happened to Live and Let Live?

         I’ve always loved the movie The Hiding Place —Hollywood’s version of the life of Christian author and speaker Corrie Ten Boom and her family. The Ten Boom’s were arrested for hiding and helping Jews during the German occupation of Holland in World War II. Betrayed by Hollanders who prided themselves in obeying German law, the Ten Boom family spent several years in concentration camps. God graciously rescued Corrie, but most of her family died there.         More recently, I found another movie, The Zookeeper’s Wife , a true account of Antonina and Jan Zabinski, who also hid Jews when the Germans occupied Poland. Yad Vashem in Israel aptly recognized them with the “Righteous Among The Nations” honor.          I love Israel. And it breaks my heart to see the unquenched resurgence of anti-Semitism in New York City. Or to be reminded of Jews suffering at the hands of pure evil—Hitler and his Nazi regime.        But lest we forget, Hitler’s rise to power was slow at fir

In relationships, when there is a rift and reconciliation has occurred, isn’t there a lifting of your spirit, joy in your heart, and an overall good feeling? This was the resident attitude of Bethlehem in Ruth 1:19-22. Because they repented, Bethlehemites were now harvesting barley. Jehovah-jireh, the Lord our Provider, had forgiven their transgressions, sent rain and caused their crops to grow. It was a joyous time of hard work; work Bethlehem had not had in much too long. Into this place and mindset, Naomi and Ruth stepped.
