Shalom,

We read Psalm 122 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today and every time I read this I am reminded of our trip to Jerusalem in 2010! 

Psalm 122

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.

PRAY for the nation of Israel, GOD'S nation; and the city of JERUSALEM, GOD'S city! That is NOT a suggestion, it is a COMMAND from GOD! Here is Brooke Ligertwood with "Ancient Gates":

Shalom in Him!
