Days are coming.
The plowmen will overtake the reaper.
It's the day we all live for---the coming of the LORD for His people.
"Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
and to those who feel secure on the mountain of Samaria." Amos 6:1
What is my security in.
The themes mesh---Isaiah wrestling not to follow King Uzziah.
Amos wrestling with the feel of security.
What does that look like in all of our lives?
Peace and personal comfort. It's usually what most go after.
COME BOLDLY: Timeless Prayers
Father, may we live this day like we mean it. Like we know that we have been invited into Eternity. Make a difference in what we see and feel and understand this very day.

Judgment is coming. Intercessor Amos prays and delays God's full judgment. But the plumb line of righteousness is not straight for Israel. "You have been measured and found wanting."
ReplyDeleteIs.28:17 “I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line."
Prov. 21:2 “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts.”
We all are found lacking but for Jesus, our Righteousness. Oh that we might abandon, pride, arrogance, seek mercy, grace.
Amen Annette G, you took the words right out of my mouth. Do I seek mercy and grace? Do I extend mercy?
ReplyDeleteLord God, I ask You to reveal Yourself to the members of Hamas, please show them they worship a false god and their enemy is not Israel but satan and please be The Iron Dome for Israel. I pray for the people of Israel to turn back to You just as I pray for Americans to turn back to You and make Jesus the Lord of their lives and know He is coming again! In Jesus' Name I pray.
As we see "signs" and know that satan's time is short, Lord, we ask for the peace that passes understanding. Where there is war and rumor of war, quiet hearts to turn to You, their only hope. We pray for President Nitenyahu and for Israel to find Your true Peace. Your mercy and grace trumps man's power plays every.single.time! We need you now to invade hearts and lives and help Americans to choose to be friend and ally to Israel as You render Judgment. His Return is soon. Help us to be ready! In Jesus' Saving Name above all names. Amen.
DeleteAs we type these prayers, Hamas is unleashing a missile attack on Israel. Please join us in prayer for the peace of Jerusalem, the protection of God's favored people, and for America to stand with Israel.
ReplyDeleteOh! I didn't know. Stirring words. Amen and amen.
