Tonight, as I write these thoughts, Israel is at war. War is an awful thing, and perhaps particularly when it involves the land which is the home of Jerusalem.
The Bible tells us,
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May they prosper who love you. Peace be within your walls, Prosperity within your palaces.’” Psalm 122:6-7
This is a time for all people to call out to God in faith and courage. As K.L. Johnston writes, “heaven’s own courage is the only abatement for fear.”
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
