Beautiful prayer and meditation this morning.
Reconciliation is desirable. We can seek to be reconciled with our brothers, neighbors and enemies but at the same time be prepared for the worst. Israel lives that way. They have offered and given much in efforts to bring about reconciliation with their neighbors. At the same time preparing to defend themselves and insure their survival.
Perhaps we can learn from this scripture some lessons for reconciling the races in America.
Dear Lord, we pray for Your peace to reign among all peoples. Even so, come Lord Jesus!
