Seven Days of Prayer - Day 6

-

Holy LORD, You are God and there is no other, and besides You, there is NO SAVIOR.[1] There is none like You, O Lord—You are great, and Your name is great in might.[2] You are El Roi, the-God-Who-Sees AND hears our affliction.[3] Your eyes, O Lord, run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Yourself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to You.[4]

ONLY YOU are worthy of PRAISE.

Father, here we are, once again, entering boldly into Your throne room, through our ONLY WAY—the BODY and SHED BLOOD of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. And like Your disciples after the crucifixion, we are holed up in our homes. They, out of fear of a visible enemy, we, out of fear of an invisible one.

Still, LORD, here we are, looking to You for SALVATION. And even those who do not know You personally, understand they need something beyond our human frailty to SAVE US.

Many trust in science, but science is only as good as the human brain You have created. And ALL HEALING comes from You, for You are Jehovah-Rapha, the LORD-Who-heals.[5]

So Father God, here we are—the people called by Your name, humbling ourselves, praying, seeking Your face, and turning from our wicked ways, as You asked. And we, in turn, ask You to hear from heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land.[6]

In Jesus’ name, 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.
