Morning by Morning, July 29 - They Say, "Let the Name of Israel be remembered no more" (Psalm 83:4)
Good morning, Lord Jesus. As best as I can and all by Your grace, I willingly choose to be desperately dependent upon You alone. O Lord, my God -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit -- I worship You and welcome You into the moments of my day. Some show me now how to pray, as I watch and wait for the leading of Your Spirit. ...
As I try to focus in prayer, You keep bring my mind to the terror and war in Israel. ...
"O God, do not keep silence; do not hold Your peace or be still, O God! Even now Your enemies are in tumult; those who hate You have raised their heads. They lay crafty plans against Your people; they consult together against those You protect. They say, 'Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more' " (Psalm 83:1-4).
You see past all the propaganda. All wickedness of heart is open to You. Every plan and scheme to turn the hearts of the nations against the nation of Your heart is laid bare before You. You are not deceived, but You are moved -- moved by the cries of Your people who long to live in peace but live in an endless nightmare of terror that rains down as rockets on their cities. And yet the whole world somehow sees their tormenters as the victims and justifies the hatred in their hearts and their strategies of terror.
You care about every heart and every home on every side of every border. You hear the cries of every child who can't sleep for fear and the explosions of war. And You hear the cries of every mother and father who can't bear see their children in pain, their homes destroyed, their hopes of peace shattered and crushed.
O God, You alone are the Peace they seek. You alone are their Rock and Refuge. You alone are their Messiah and Lord -- Messiah and Lord of Arab and Jew, of every Gentile of every nation. You alone are Lord of all.
Come open the eyes of every heart to see You as You. Come expose every evil, reveal every deception, and establish Your righteousness in the hearts of every person of this land and every nation. "O God, do not keep silence; do not hold Your peace or be still, O God!" (v. 1). "Let them know that You alone, whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth" (v. 18). In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
