Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father in Heaven,
Magnified, Sanctified,
and Hallowed Be Your Most Holy and Glorious Name!
You Are So Holy and Worthy of Praise and Worship,
we are Overwhelmed by Your Glory!
It is You Who Have Made The Earth and All it Contains,
from the tiniest of Creatures,
to the Greatest of the Mountains, Forests and Deserts.
It is You Who Command the Motion of the Stars,
The Galaxies,
and the Great Singularities of Time and Space,
And it is You Who Create new Life in the Secret Place of a Mother's Womb.
Oh, Father, You Are So Wonderful,
So Glorious,
So Magnificent,
And Mere Words Don't even Tell The Story of Your Awesome Splendor!

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.

God Bless America.

My friend Skip is reading this right now, so I hope he doesn't mind my talking about him in this thread. (It's for a Good Cause, namely the Advancement of the Kingdom of God, so I don't think he will mind!). Recently, this dear friend, who was instrumental in my own Salvation, sent me a HUGE book. It is 700 pages about the Providence of God. God's Providence has been one of the major themes of this Thread in the fourteen years of its run. Since I get through the Bible several times a year and have read Moby Dick nine times, 700 pages is a piece of cake...LOL...especially if it's about the Providence of God! (I am currently also reading a 500-page novel that involves the Siege of Masada. Did I ever mention to you how much I LOVE to read?)

I have had so many wonderful experiences with God's Providence that I've lost count. I have, however, learned not to fear deprivation, as God has always come through for me in the most miraculous ways. Sometimes, however, I get so wrapped up in God's Providence that I forget the the other side of this attribute of Omniscience, His Sovereignty. People sometimes mix these two things up, but they are different. Both attributes come under the banner of God's Omniscience, Omnipotence, and Omnipresence. Both require that He knows the End From the Beginning, and the Beginning from the End. Both require that He is above and beyond the Time-Space Continuum, and can transcend it because He created it in the first place. Both require His Omnipotence, so that He can make things happen which can't be explained away by natural forces. Here's where they differ: Providence is what God does. Sovereignty is Who God is.

We have had many Names so far that talk about Providence:

Jehovah Jireh...The LORD Provides
Jehovah Rapha...The LORD Who Heals
Jehovah Tsidkenu...The LORD Who Sanctifies,
My Defender, My Rock, My Hiding Place, My Shepherd, My Strong Tower,
and so on.

Today's verse is about Sovereignty. The verse is from Paul's Letter to Timothy, a young pastor with roots in Greek Culture. We sometimes call Ancient Greece the "Cradle of Democracy", and many of our Constitutional Values come from that time. I don't know how Timothy felt about Sovereignty, but Paul gives a good account of it in his letter.

The word "Potentate" is translated in other versions as "Ruler", Sovereign", and, later in the verse, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. It is his His Indisputable Right to Do Whatever He Wants.

That kind of Power would be unacceptable in a human, because we are fallen creatures who can be very selfish. We all have a degree of sovereignty within ourselves, but it is easily violated by outside forces. Countries have sovereignty, but it is only as strong as it's defenses. When you own your own home, you have sovereignty, but only within the laws, ordinances, and zoning regulations of your community. All human sovereignty is limited by our humanity.

God, on the other hand, is Sovereign with a Capital "S". His decisions are Always His, and they are Always Right. They are Always Wise and Always Just.

God's Sovereignty would be a frightening thing, except that He is LOVE. That Sovereignty, motivated by Love, Becomes Providence. (I'm getting into this book!).

Psalm 98

A Psalm.

1 O sing to the Lord a new song,
for he has done marvellous things.
His right hand and his holy arm
have gained him victory.
2 The Lord has made known his victory;
he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness
to the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen
the victory of our God.

4 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;
break forth into joyous song and sing praises.
5 Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
with the lyre and the sound of melody.
6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn
make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord.

7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
the world and those who live in it.
8 Let the floods clap their hands;
let the hills sing together for joy
9 at the presence of the Lord, for he is coming
to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
and the peoples with equity.

Yes. I provided a link at the end of my post.

I am just beginning that one, and have only read the part about Yael in the desert.
