JULY 24 – PEACE

07/24          Psalm 122:1-9

1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD .” 2 And now here we are, standing inside your gates, O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem is a well-built city; its seamless walls cannot be breached. 4 All the tribes of Israel—the LORD ’s people— make their pilgrimage here. They come to give thanks to the name of the LORD, as the law requires of Israel. 5 Here stand the thrones where judgment is given, the thrones of the dynasty of David. 6Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper. 7 O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces. 8 For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, “May you have peace.” 9 For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem.

PEACE

Jesus, I want peace and I want to bring peace when I connect with others. Forgive my willfulness and encourage me towards gentleness and forgiveness.  Life is so harsh, help me Lord to be kind and understanding.  I want to be usable and useful for your glory.
