GOD'S GLORY
For the past few days Isaiah 60:1 has run through my head, “Kumi Uri Ki Ba Orech, Ki Kvod Adonai Alaich Zarach” “Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. “
It is said on Israel the land, the nation, and these last few days it feels as if it is said over me. I walk about full of happy joy inside me knowing that God loves me. Yes, I doubt that I have the right to feel that way.
Rockets penetrated Haifa, Tel Aviv, Carmiel and other towns destroyed homes and caused death and wounding. Some of these people who were in those areas we know personally others we don't. Units of women soldiers penetrated Lebanon carrying 40% of their body weight on their backs, carrying ammunition and tools of war. I don't like seeing their pictures, I know our young people, males and females fight side by side, but it still pinches my heart.
I keep praying for the hostages that no one mentions anymore and I fear for the soldiers in the fields in Lebanon where rockets full of blocks of iron are aiming to maim and destroy more than the rockets intended to. I hear the sounds of war from the border mixing with the thunder sounds now that the rainy season has arrived. And I know that the “news” of the ceasefire is rejected by both sides and is propaganda of the current administration of the USA and they are not our friends, regardless of how they appear in the eyes of the world.
Then I recall that God shone His glory upon us individually and collectively and I remind myself and God of His promise, “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure”.(Philippians 2:13).
And I ask Him to bring His children home.
