Scripture calls each of us to pray for Jerusalem. Have you prayed for this city today? It is the home of God’s chosen people and it is also the center of the three major religions of the world – Christianity, Islam and of course Judaism. There is much tumult there
We often focus on the tumult in our own lives. It tends to become a priority in our thinking, probably because it has an immediate effect on us. That is not a bad thing. We are told to lift up our needs to the throne of God. I myself have often lifted up my needs above all us. I have another scan tomorrow at MD Anderson and cancer scans are something that a wise person never takes for granted. I appreciate all prayers and praises to the Lord above for each good report that results. However we are also told to pray for Jerusalem. There is war in that part of the world. Lift them up in your free time and as you think of it. As we sit in air conditioned buildings with more food then we can imagine at our fingertips, let us all lift up those who may not have those things right now because of conditions going on. It is only by God’s grace that we too are not in the same situation.
