“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee” (Psalm 122:6).
King David’s admonition to “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem” was given hundreds and hundreds of years ago. However, it is just as necessary today as it was when David commanded it. Throughout the history of Israel, that little nation has been surrounded by enemies and people who wish her harm. Today Israel has enemies to the north, south, and east. A nuclear Iran is nearly a certainty. Our leaders have negotiated with the leaders of Iran as its citizens were screaming, “Death to America. Death to Israel.” If ever we need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, it’s today, dear friends.
For today: Don’t forget to pray for Jerusalem and the people of Israel, will you?
