18 May it please you to prosper Zion,
to build up the walls of Jerusalem. Psalm 51:18

Hardly a week goes by that Israel isn’t in the news. This time it’s in relation to what a senior Obama administration official said about Prime Minister Netanyahu. It’s sad actually. One of the only true allies that Israel has had in the world slanders the leader of that nation. The nations that favor Israel tend to prosper. In contrast to that, the nations who oppose Israel go downhill fast. That’s certainly not set in stone but my observation.

In any event, would you pray for the peace of Israel today? Would you pray that its leaders will be as wise in all its interactions with other leaders for they have more enemies than friends.
