Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Oh LORD, Our God,
How Excellent is Your Name over all the Earth!
How Wonderful You Are;
How Magnificent,
and How Glorious!
Magnified and Sanctified is Your Most Holy Name,
And from Generation to Generation,
Shall all People Call You Great and Wonderful!
For You Alone Are Worthy, You Alone Are LORD,
You Alone Are The One True God Of Abraham!
The Heavens Declare your Glory,
And With Every New Bit Of Knowledge We Gain Of Nature and the Firmament,
We Are Overwhelmed By The Awesomeness of You.
For You Created it All,
Your Imagination is Boundless,
Endless, Eternal, Limitless.
Praise Your Holy Name!

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.

Psalm 104

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul.
O Lord my God, you are very great.
You are clothed with honour and majesty,
2 wrapped in light as with a garment.
You stretch out the heavens like a tent,
3 you set the beams of your* chambers on the waters,
you make the clouds your* chariot,
you ride on the wings of the wind,
4 you make the winds your* messengers,
fire and flame your* ministers.

5 You set the earth on its foundations,
so that it shall never be shaken.
6 You cover it with the deep as with a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.
7 At your rebuke they flee;
at the sound of your thunder they take to flight.
8 They rose up to the mountains, ran down to the valleys
to the place that you appointed for them.
9 You set a boundary that they may not pass,
so that they might not again cover the earth.

10 You make springs gush forth in the valleys;
they flow between the hills,
11 giving drink to every wild animal;
the wild asses quench their thirst.
12 By the streams* the birds of the air have their habitation;
they sing among the branches.
13 From your lofty abode you water the mountains;
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.

14 You cause the grass to grow for the cattle,
and plants for people to use,*
to bring forth food from the earth,
15 and wine to gladden the human heart,
oil to make the face shine,
and bread to strengthen the human heart.
16 The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly,
the cedars of Lebanon that he planted.
17 In them the birds build their nests;
the stork has its home in the fir trees.
18 The high mountains are for the wild goats;
the rocks are a refuge for the coneys.
19 You have made the moon to mark the seasons;
the sun knows its time for setting.
20 You make darkness, and it is night,
when all the animals of the forest come creeping out.
21 The young lions roar for their prey,
seeking their food from God.
22 When the sun rises, they withdraw
and lie down in their dens.
23 People go out to their work
and to their labour until the evening.

24 O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide,
creeping things innumerable are there,
living things both small and great.
26 There go the ships,
and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.

27 These all look to you
to give them their food in due season;
28 when you give to them, they gather it up;
when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
29 When you hide your face, they are dismayed;
when you take away their breath, they die
and return to their dust.
30 When you send forth your spirit,* they are created;
and you renew the face of the ground.

31 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works—
32 who looks on the earth and it trembles,
who touches the mountains and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let sinners be consumed from the earth,
and let the wicked be no more.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Praise the Lord!

The Names and Titles of God (Captain of Salvation)

Hebrews 2:10

10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

King James Version

________________________

Dad was a US Navy Veteran of World War II and The Korean War. He loved "War Movies" and had a whole collection of DVD's. One of the stock characters, especially in the Navy Stories, was the "Ninety-Day Wonder". Because of the wartime emergency, there were a lot of newly commissioned officers who had received only three months of training, and were inexperienced in war. They were the exact opposite of a seasoned professional who had worked his way up through the ranks. The epithet was derisive, but probably descriptive.

Some examples of the Ninety-Day Wonder Character are Ensign Parker, played by Tim Conway, and Ensign Pulver, played by Jack Lemmon

(A Note: To any Vets out there who served honorably as a quickly commissioned officer during WWII, Thank You For Your Service! Not all Ensigns were "Ninety-Day Wonders"!)

In Today's Scripture Passage, we see a Name that is not often used. Jesus is called "The Captain of Our Salvation." The Passage goes on to describe the Suffering Jesus went through in order to atone for the sins of the world.

No matter how good and decent a person may be, nobody is qualified to atone for anybody else's sins, much less the sins of the whole world. Jesus, being sinless, was the Only One who could do that.

But, you may ask, how does a sinless Person even understand what I'm going through? How can an Innocent man understand the temptations, the agonies, the hurts, the insults, or the pain of just being HUMAN?

The Book of Hebrews addresses that question. Jesus is able to identify with us because of His suffering. He was tempted in all ways, yet did not sin. Temptation itself isn't sin...it's the way we deal with it that determines that. We all fall at one time or another. Even if we have had years of training and experience, we are ALL "Ninety-Day Wonders" when it comes to our own Salvation. We are inadequate, and can't save ourselves. But neither can the Big Shot Evangelist, the Teacher or the Preacher, the Priest, the Bishop, or even the Dali Lama or the Pope, for that matter. We all need to look at the Captain, Our Great High Priest, Who was tempted in all things as we are, but did not sin.

All I can do is salute and say "Aye Aye Captain!"

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. (Mark 4:22)

About 20 years ago, I found the obituary of our Episcopal minister who once served in my hometown. I was confirmed by him. Later, he married me and my husband. I was surprised to find that he was not only a Navy chaplain, but had the rank of Commander and served during World War 2. He lived to 102.

Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem and for our beloved America.
