Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Isaiah
Isaiah 25
Praise to the Lord
25 Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness
you have done wonderful things,
things planned long ago.
2 You have made the city a heap of rubble,
the fortified town a ruin,
the foreigners stronghold a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.
3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you;
cities of ruthless nations will revere you.
4 You have been a refuge for the poor,
a refuge for the needy in their distress,
a shelter from the storm
and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless
is like a storm driving against a wall
5 and like the heat of the desert.
You silence the uproar of foreigners;
as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless is stilled.
6 On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare
a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine
the best of meats and the finest of wines.
7 On this mountain he will destroy
the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations;
8 he will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears
from all faces;
he will remove his peoples disgrace
from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.
9 In that day they will say,
Surely this is our God;
we trusted in him, and he saved us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.
10 The hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain;
but Moab will be trampled in their land
as straw is trampled down in the manure.
11 They will stretch out their hands in it,
as swimmers stretch out their hands to swim.
God will bring down their pride
despite the cleverness[a] of their hands.
12 He will bring down your high fortified walls
and lay them low;
he will bring them down to the ground,
to the very dust.

Our Father in Heaven,
How Hallowed,
Magnificent,
and Sanctified
is Your Most Holy Name!
How Blessed and How True is Your Word,
and How Mighty!
How Glorious,
to Span the Millennia,
To be Unfettered by Time and Space,
To Know The End from the Beginning
and the beginning from The End!
For it is You, Oh LORD,
Who designed the Galaxies with Your Compass,
And Mapped Out the Vast Reaches of Space
With Your Word and Your Omniscient Imagination!
Scientists tell us even the heavens are finite.
But YOU are Infinite!
Thank You, Father,
For Keeping the Remnant.
Thank You for the Glimpse into the Magnificent Power
of Your Creative Word!
LORD, remind us ALWAYS to Worship You,
and not Your Creation.
Your creation is there but to proclaim YOUR GLORY.
Hallelujah and Amen.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Just last week, my two nephews' rock band had a very important gig in what may be the most prestigious venue in Boston for Rock Music, The House of Blues. OF COURSE, all the aunties and moms and dads were anxious to attend and support the guys and celebrate with them. The only snag was that the venue is located right next door to Fenway Park, and the Red Sox were playing the Chicago Cubs AT THE VERY SAME TIME AS THE CONCERT. This was going to present a traffic, parking, and pedestrian nightmare. We crammed as many moms and aunties into one car, paid $50.00 for the last parking spot nearby, and walked the rest of the way. It was a beautiful night, so we didn't mind.
As we wended our way past the old brick walls of the Antique Baseball Park, we could hear a constant roar of the cheering crowd, which rose and fell in unison, and filled the night sky all around us. It was palpable, exciting, and wonderful, all at the same time. We figured the Sox were winning, and winning BIG. We joyously went to the concert, enjoyed it thoroughly, and cheered on our "guys" who did an awesome job.
It was not till later, that we found out that the Red Sox had NOT won the game, even though they played well. All that cheering that had filled the night was for who they ARE, not for just for what they DID. And when we were cheering the band, we were loving them for who they are as well, not just the fact that they made great music. Boston LOVES the Red Sox, and we LOVE our sons in the band!
Today's reading from Isaiah follows the Chapter on "TEOTWAWKI" where the whole world is destroyed, leaving a Remnant behind. Logically, that remnant would be looking around and focusing on the devastation and saying "WHY?". But these next few Chapters from Isaiah aren't doing that. They are a rapturous hymn of Praise and Worship to Our God, Praising Him for WHO HE IS, and thanking Him for His Redemption.
Like the fans at Fenway, let's fill the night sky with our Praises, and shake the old foundations with our worship. (BTW, The Venue at the House of Blues is called "The Foundation Room". You can't make this stuff up!)
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.
God Bless America!

LORD thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. |
3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
