8The righteous is delivered from trouble, .
And it comes to the wicked instead.
9 The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, .
But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered. .
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; .
And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation. .
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, .
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
Glorious God, how we are grateful for the life You have given us and for the Truth You share in Your Word. Thank You for its direction, correction and encouragement.
Today as we pray for our United States and our military, we ask You for knowledge so that there can be deliverance and so that we can rejoice. Cause righteousness to prevail so that we can be delivered from trouble. We ask that those who choose the wicked way would be converted or moved out of positions of authority. We also pray for Your blessing for our Nation and ask You to silence the mouth of the wicked.
You are not moved by many words and so we just say “amen” to the answers You are faithfully providing.
Thank You, our God, for the power of our prayers and Your delight in receiving them so that Your will can be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
It is in the name of Jesus that we pray and say, “amen”.
Today's Prayer
Photographer Anne Geddes has made an art form out of taking pictures of sleeping babies. Her photos evoke smiles. Nothing is a better image of peace than a sleeping child.
But between naps and nighttime, caring for children is an exhausting and relentless responsibility. In their innocence and enthusiasm, children can get themselves into life-threatening situations in no time. After a hectic day of chasing, entertaining, protecting, feeding, dressing, guarding, guiding, and making peace between squabbling siblings, parents are eager for bedtime. After the toys are put away and the pajamas are put on, the sleepy toddler slows down, cuddles with mom or dad for a bedtime story, and finally falls asleep. Later, before putting themselves to bed, parents check on their children one more time to make sure all is peaceful in dreamland. The serene beauty of a sleeping child makes all the day’s frustrations worthwhile.
Scripture indicates that God’s ideal condition for His children is peace (Lev. 26:6), but too often in our immaturity we get into trouble and cause conflict. Like parents of young children, God desires for us to become weary of wrongdoing and to rest in the safety and contentment of His loving ways.
Read: Leviticus 26:1-12
