The Blessing for Israel

 



Families throughout Israel are in tears this week. Suddenly and viciously attacked by terrorists while celebrating holy days, harmless families found their home infiltrated by terrorists, killing, and kidnapping innocents. 

The conflict and treatment of these innocents has been nothing short of horrific.  Many Israelis and foreign allies in-country remain sheltered in place, anxious moment-to-moment for their safety, wondering whether and how they will escape this tragic conflict.

God often uses dark times to shine the light of His truth in even the most unexpected places.  Pray He would do so now, as a defender of the innocent, as Scripture pleads in the Psalms:

 

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
"May those who love you be secure.
May there be peace within your walls
    and security within your citadels.”
For the sake of my family and friends,
    I will say, “Peace be within you.”

 -- Psalm 122:6-8

 

Thank you for your prayers and compassion for the people caught in this horrible conflict, and those fighting nobly to end it. May Numbers 6:22-27, the Aaronic Blessing, the basis for The Blessing, comfort them, their families, and you, your family. He is for you and your family.
