Shalom,

We read Psalm 122 today in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan. This Psalm is all about Israel and how we should view and respond to this nation that belongs to GOD!

A Song of Ascents. Of David.
1 I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of the Lord!
2 Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!—
3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city that is compacted together—
4 To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord, as was decreed and as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
5 For there the thrones of judgment were set, the thrones of the house of David.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! May they prosper who love you [the Holy City]!
7 May peace be within your walls and prosperity within your palaces!
8 For my brethren and companions’ sake, I will now say, Peace be within you!
9 For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek, inquire for, and require your good.

Make sure that YOU view Israel as the Word of God instructs! Remember that God Himself declared that those who BLESS Israel will be BLESSED and those who curse Israel will be cursed! I know what side I CHOOSE! And then we read 3 John and verses 2-4 are a specific message to us! 

2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers. 3 In fact, I greatly rejoiced when [some of] the brethren from time to time arrived and spoke [so highly] of the sincerity and fidelity of your life, as indeed you do live in the Truth [the whole Gospel presents]. 4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear that my [spiritual] children are living their lives in the Truth.

Let's keep bringing JOY to HIM! Here is Hillsong UNITED with "Days Like These (TRUST U)":

Shalom in Him!
