Israel is ready - Are you?


Well in case you don't read the headlines.... Israel is ready to bomb Iran and is worried that the U.S. is not ready to go that way or support them. Israel is making it clear in a very resounding way that they will and are capable of this sort of attack with or without assistance. Take for instance there recent attack on a convoy in Sudan, their air force exercises one year ago that involved flying distances of nearly 900 miles (the same distance as some nuclear facilities in Iran). I urge all believers to continue to be in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, the safety of the soldiers and civilians and the leaders of Israel. We have seen in the past what has happened when we have not stood with our brothers and sisters and Gods chosen people, lets be prayerful and ready. Pray and seek ways that we can make our voice heard about the situation in the Middle East because it is not a matter of if but when.

I want to share a few scriptures from this mornings message that are really awesome: Numbers 6:23 - the end of that chapter talking about the prayer or blessing. We were learning about the word Keep and how there are three different Hebrew words for it (of which I don't remember what those three words are) in the scriptures. Take a look at these scriptures and really get a picture that God is our guardian, our keeper and he wants to fight our battles for us instead of us always trying so hard. Psalm 91: 1-2; Deuteronomy 33:9; Deuteronomy 32:10; Proverbs 13:3; Proverbs 6:20; Psalm 31:23 (preserves); John 15:1-8 (vine dresser, abide in Him); Genesis 2:15. These are just a few of the verses and really show how he loves and protects and keeps us.
