Psalms 122:6 (KJV) Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

(Proverbs 3 also read)

If there was ever a time when we need to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, this is it.  Most of us are praying for our country and for the coming elections.  That is good, but we need to realize that there is more going on in the world than just in North America.

When you look at a verse like this, you need to first consider whom it is written to.  This is obviously written to the Jews of ancient times.  However, when you consider how to understand and apply a verse, today comes into consideration.  I think this applies to us today.  I think we should be praying that God’s people, whether they are obedient or disobedient, should know peace in that part of the world.

So?  Don’t forget Israel.  Don’t forget the chosen people.  What happens to them affects all of us.
